I'm hoping he has a great race. He won't be able to win if some of the African nations enter athletes that are in their mid 20s but claim to be 19.
Sore Neck Knudsen is so overrated. Wow what a perfect example of his generation. All hype and narcisssm, little substance. Yeah he can run a little but nothing special.
Unfortunately for Soren, the race will probably be won in a faster time than his current 5k pr of 13:54, and the funny thing is that the Africans in the race are so much better than Soren that they will consider it a tactical race. Don't get me wrong, I like him just as much as the next guy (on letsrun), but his training probably hasn't been great due to his injuries and sickness or whatever caused the result of his last two races.
We like Soren Knudssen

Likely to pass the finish line at the same time as Barega at 13:10 but with one big difference: Barega has run 5000m and Soren has run 4600m with one lap to go.
Well this didn't really go. Presume he is injured?

16:18.. Hes really having a tough time out there since he ran the 13:54. My guess is he is probably still suffering from depression and not training. He’s not made YouTube videos in a while. He’s probably not mentally there. Hopefully he is getting help.

He also has not logged any of his runs in many weeks. It's possible he hasn't even really been running. I assume he's probably not mentally with it.
Maybe the sweltering heat of Finland took him down?
But honestly, I have a little respect for him finishing. Can't be easy to be DFL in a big race, 45 seconds behind the 2nd to last finisher.
Soren Kundsen bump
I wonder if this will be the end of his competitive running. I have a feeling that he will drop out of college and attempt to make a living off of his hobby. I predict that he will be running 10 miles easy per day but will give up racing.
Am I the only one who finds that to be incredibly selfish? I understand he’s depressed and everything but if you KNOW you’re not in good shape, you should turn down the spot to go. USATF probably spent a couple thousand flying him out there and housing him for the championship only for him to run 16:18. That’s pathetic.
dude is fast
