Official Genzebe Dibaba 10,000 Meter Prediction and Discussion Thread - Race is Sat. (4/26)!
-
30:34. She could go faster based on her other pr's but not knowing her endurance make this tricky.
-
Also, unless they run it at like 4 AM it'll be in the 80s
-
If Ayana is running, she could finish second.
If there is no challenge, she could go all out - fast; otherwise, just sit back and kick -

When was the last time she sat and kick to win, other than the Paris DL 5k? -

Senbere Teferi (silver in World Champs 5K beating Dibaba) seems to be her biggest challenger, but hasn't run a 10k yet according to the IAAF website.
Gotytom Gebreslase has a PR of 31:51, but the rest of her PRs aren't very impressive.
Seems like it will be Dibaba VS the clock. -
30:40 because of the warm weather. sub-30:00 in good conditions.
-
Will be a no show

Running on Saturday in Dubai. Thoughts?
LRC addition: Please make your picks below as to how fast she runs.
Does anyone have any info on
a) who else is in the race
b) the time of the race
c) rabbit situation and
d) whether it will be broadcast online or on tv?? -

Other runners were to be: Alia Saeed of the UAE, Ethiopian Senbere Teferi, who won silver in the 5,000m at the World Championships in Beijing last year, and Belaynesh Oljira.
Saturday is 4/23, BTW, not 4/26. Race is at 19:00 in Dubai, which is 8:00 on the west coast of US, 11 EDT. -

She sat and kicked Defar's ass in a 5000, I think it was Shanghai DL 2014, and she did it to Defar also in a XC race.

Excuse my grammar, but I'm sure y'all know what I meant. -
She should do the 800/1500 double at the Olympics.
-
The Ethiopian Federation probably ordered the "injury", they haven't decided yet who'll be allowed to run what distance in the Olympics.
My guess:
10000: Tirunesh + 3 unknows
1500: Genzebe + 2 unknowns
5000: Ayana + Defar + 2 unknowns
