What has me got to do with this thread? I do think Bekele could have run more potentially faster then he had done. It would be interesting to know how much. He still has the marathon world record to get. I for one can't wait to laugh at all the haters here when he does it and gets marathon gold medals.
So I post to Natural Talent and within minutes Banana Bread comes out of hibernation, just classic stupidity.

Editor's note: This thread was initially entitled, "Barega goes home DEVASTATED"
thats what he gets for taking it easy and trying to outkick the others. nobody in this field was even close to his level and he tried to do some dumb tactics. the kids at u20 are hungry and if it comes down to a kick its anyones race. he should have gapped everyone from the start and never looked back.
