People seem to not notice this kid. He's only 19 years old and he was close to medalling in the 10K and 5K. I think he has a chance to end up in the history books.

Nailed it.
age cheat. "19" is likely the peak of his powers.

If 26:11/12:35, world xc/10k champ is the peak, then that’s not too shabby!

4 years on though, but inn any case...
East Africans are accused of being 'age cheats', so they are understating their age. If that is the case, Bekele must be 50 and Kipchoge 45, not too shabby.
Make up your minds...are they cheating by being open age in juniors or in masters? It can't be both.

You do realize this post is 4 years old, he is not 19 now. He is 23 running 12:35 and 26:11. 19 was likely his true age 4 years ago, if he is near his peak now.
He is 24.

Lol, you've watched the guy make consistent progress over a 4 year span -- from missing out on medals in 2016, to winning world xc and 10k in 2019, to breaking both Bekele's records in 2020 -- and you're first thought is "he's peaked"? Based on what?! It'd be like watching one of your freshman athletes run 5:00, then 4:45 as a sophomore, 4:30 as a junior, but when senior year rolls around your first instinct is "4:30 is definitely his peak"..... like what?
Try spelling his last name correctly.
Post from 2016. Good call!
You could see his heart in 2017 in Kampala when he blew up.
For me, that shows how deep he's willing to go.
Been a fan ever since.

Very similar to this famous prediction.

Agreed. As a physician, libertarian, and Trump supporter, I believe that Joshua C. should be permanently banned from running for this gross transgression.
