It does seem odd to me from a marketing standpoint that Nike would heavily invest in competition for the other American runners it is trying to promote. Mo made more sense to include for the sake of the UK market but I doubt thousands of Ethiopians will rush out to purchase Nike shoes if Al Sal makes him a world champ..
My guess is it would look pretty good on NOP if he breaks the 5km world record in a NOP vest. They got medals with mo, maybe they are thinking of shooting a bit higher with this guy... plus it'd add someone to chase for Jenkins
Lol, the dude will need to run under 12:50 (or even 12:45) before you start tossing around world record.
