Can we talk about Yomif Kejelcha

With his 13:10 win last night!

I have said it before and I will say it again. I would not be surprised to see Kejelcha taking down a world record in the either the 2000m, 3000m or 5000m within the next 1-5 years!

thoughts?

Can we only talk about Yomif? ?

... still waiting to find footage of the race- thx Flotrack.

Farah runs 13:10 - proves he can't improve upon his PR.

Kejelcha runs 13:10 - proves he can challenge WRs.

NOP trains to win championships, not run meaningless fast times.

Kejelcha is 21. Farah is 36.

Kej is probs 27 or so. Still, he has 5 or so good years left.

With the Al Sal gray area sauce I can see him popping a 12:40.

Kejelcha runs 12:46(?), front runs even if it means losing, and BREAKS AN EL GUERROUJ world record and it’s weird how that proves HE CAN BREAK WORLD RECORDS

-3:28/10, put on your dunce cap and stand in the corner

This was a warmup for when he tries to run back-to-back 13:08s on the same track on June 28

Only if Barega goes to the roads, otherwise Yomif will only be the world's best pacemaker.

He ran an indoor WR but I don't count that because the indoor tracks have curved Nascar velodrone bends now and they were flat years ago. You can't really call it a WR because the curved surface makes it a different race. Running on an indoor track doped at the start of the century is like running on a modern indoor track clean today. The dope is centripetal force. Kejelcha will never get Komen's, EL G's or Bekele's WRs.

Daniel Komens 7:20 at 3000m is a very hard nut to crack! And with the reduced chance of real competitive 5000m races, that WR will also be very difficult to beat . Yes, maybe 2000m that seldom is raced.
