He has that classic Ethiopian closing kick. He runs strong off the lead, and is comfortable from start to finish.
Paul Chelimo is not messing with that. He is too immature. Yomif can hang , but he has to have a perfect race to beat Barega
Future marathoner for sure.
Which doped-up "18-year-old" is this? There are so many to keep track of.

HMM. One Kenyan gets caught medals all runners of the same skin tone must be doping.

I think he has the potential to be great and already seems to know how to run a race. I don't agree that he has that kick that Bekele/Haile had yet and maybe will never quite develop that type of speed.

This statement is useless without vids.

Dude have you not seen his last 2 races? Took over with 300m, and he just didn't hang on, he seems to have the ability to accelerate like crazy with 100m to go.
Today, In Ostrava, dude look like a sprinter the way he just put it into high gear. In full stride, in control, with no mechanic out of place.

didn't watch todays but watched his last few....He may have good mechanics, but have yet to see him close like Bekele in the 52-53 range for the last lap

I hear you. He is not on that level, but he could be cleaner than Bekele. I think a lot of those times are doped to the gills.
I’m just excited that we have some real fast blood at 5000m/10000m after dealing Mo’s sit and kick for so many years.
