2. Certainly not, not even sub13.
3. No, more like 13:12.

3:29 for Kiprop and 3:31 for Moh Fara. Mansano 3:32
12:45 for Laghat and 13:15 for KB unfortunately.
Simson 3:58
1) Kiprop, Farah, Manzano
2) Yes
3) Bekele does not run under 13:00
1) Farah, Leo, Kiprop.
Although Coe would beat them all in his prime
2) No
3) Under - as pace of leader sub 13
farah just back from his altitude (cough epo) stint
so expect something special there..........
1) Kiprop, Farah, Manzano
2) Sorry, no AR for Lagat
3) Bekele under 13 if it's an honest race and not just a kick (he cannot kick in a 53s last lap anymore)
Still no one making a prediction for Centro in this race?
He's the guy really getting paid, not Leo.
Anyway, with his health and fitness and being adjusted to the time zone for a couple week, I think Centro could really be in the mix here.
He should jump in an 800m race before this to tune up, though - I think.

Mohamed Farah has a 1500m PB of 3:33,98 - but people in letsrun expecting him to run the distance in 3:30 (or under)? OK, let's wait and see. I don't believe it until he has done that.
Btw: Very unusual career which Farah has. From a runner who constantly has finished in the pack to a world beater in his late 20s, early 30s. To me, this looks much more curious than many other observations on other runners, where people in this forum constantly are pointing on.
At least, there are not many similar examples like Farah in the history of distance running.
Bekele will never run under 13 minutes again.
i dont think lagat will chase an american record before Moscow unless the race is suer quick from the start.i'm more interested in how lawi lalang does. he said he's hoping to break 13:00 and he's been in good form..

Looks like it's going to be an excellent meet next Friday (July 19th).
We'll be there to get you the behind the scenes info.
http://www.iaaf.org/news/news/monaco-reveals-its-event-by-event-stars-iaaTwo tasks for you:
1) Tell us who you got in order 1-2-3 in the 1500: Leo, Kiprop and Farah.
2) Tell us will Lagat get the AR of 12:53.60?
The meet organizers conveniently want the meet record of 12:53.11 to go down so the pace should be rabbitted well.
3) Over or under 13:00 for Kenenisa?
We'll start.
1) Kiprop, Leo, Farah.
2) No AR for Lagat.
3) Yes for the sub- 13:00 for Bekele. We'll admit no results from this year indicate he'll do this, but we imagine with him racing all the time, his handlers must see something in practice. Hopefully he rests up for this one and let's the performance come to him. Perhaps he's forcing things out in practice - like racing practice to his his old times.
Basically we're hoping for bekele.
1) Leo, Kiprop, Farah
2)Nope
3)Yes,
Another annoying post as usual, Vent. But seriously, what's so awful about being 2:37 at the bell?
But they don't run outside 13:30 on the circuit.
Farah could and should be super fast, but Kiprop so far had a good season and should be able to beat him. Rewatched his runs in Rieti '11 and Monaco '12. Made me wonder if he couldn't come closer to the record with more tries at a super fast time. Look at Rieti. He can dare to go out in front, the pack will not catch him.

mo may be in as fast as 3'30 shape
just don't be shocked if mo blasts thru 3'30
if he wants it, he can do it
let's just hope it's not just another awful 2'37 at the bell...
I'll tell you what Ventolin. Very rarely does a runner run to his full 100% potential. There is always something to bug about, didn't draft completely, ran to wide in the turn, slowed a second too much in the second round etc...
Whatever shape Mo is in he will not run sub 3'30, its unlikely put possible with 3'30. Probably be something like 3'31/32.
What I'm more curious about than these 'what if' predictions of yours is....what do you think he will actually run?
And regarding 2'37 at bell...don't think that will happen but consider me sceptical. They have burnt us a lot...
I sgree with you assesment of how Mo should run the race but you can't run 1:45.9 off 50.0
leo, kiprop, farah
LAGAT is not an american.

Rubbish! Ovett in his prime would shove Coe out into lane 8 to get position, but it's all for naught as Ryun in his prime would sprint a 36 sec last 300 to win going away.
