so many runners who actually compete at the highest level of international racing have made the same claims and come up way short. (kamworor, tanui, etc)his quote should read, "if my brother and i somehow get into better shape than Farah is and feel good on the day and farah doesn't, then we can at least make him hurt for it."i'd love to see it happen but it's all empty words. they might not even qualify to get to the racehell, rupp can't even beat him and he's way better than robertson (remember, rupp got 2nd in 2012 and 5th in 2016 Oly's)

Steve Landells of the New Zealand Herald has a great article out on Jake Robertson, who missed basically all of 2015 and 2016 due to injury, but is on fire in 2017 after the sub-2 team figured out what was wrong with him.
He has huge goals - he wants to take a crack at Mo Farah.
"One reason I want to target the 10,000m is to race Mo Farah who has been undefeated for a long time (the last time he was beaten over 10,000m was in 2011). I really want to have one last crack at him before he retires on the track. If my brother and I are in shape we at least can make him hurt for it (the win)."
