now fuuck off & don't waste my time
Do you need a link to the definition of "ever"?
June 8th '95 Komen ran a great race, and came second. That doesn't, and didn't, make him an all time great, like you claimed. Why don't you just admit you're wrong (again) and move along? You know, like grown ups do?
So, just to be clear, you're saying you DO need a link to the definition of the word "ever"?
Oh, and PS: Idiot, moron, sh|t for brains, drivel, peabrain, fvck off. Just so we're speaking the same language.
moron
you're soo dumb it's beyond belief
what part of
komen was 2nd fastest 5k runner ever at end 8th june '95
your peabrain not comprehend ???
On June 8th, 1995, Daniel Komen ran 2nd place in time that is 15 seconds slower than his own PR, and has been bettered 110 times. It
S nearly 20 seconds slower than the current WR. That time is a little over half a second faster than Craig Mottram's PR, and fractionally faster than Chris Solinsky's PR.
That performance did not make Daniel Komen an all time great.
how much of a moron are you ?!
i have told you repeatedly what the top 3 alltime list was at end of 8th june '95
the top 10 at the end of that day was
- moses - 12'55.30
- komen - 12'56.15
- geb - 12'56.96
- worku - 12'57.83
- aouita - 12'58.39
- moorcroft - 13'00.41
- skah - 13'00.54
- yobes 13'01.82
- hissou - 13'02.25
- kirui 13'02.75
what part of your peabrain cannot comprehend the rest of history to the present had not yet unfolded ???
if the book of the history of 5k running had been written on that date, it woud have had komen as an alltime great as 2nd fastest guy ever
how stoopid does someone have to be to not understand this ???
[Sigh]Vent .. that's not what the word "ever" means. And "all-time great" doesn't mean "was 2nd fastest runner until less than a year later".The history of 5k running was not written on June 8, 1995.Reality supersedes your world of what ifs, imaginary races and coulda, woulda, shouldas.Wurku Bikila, 3rd in that race, is not an all-time great over 5000m. Nor is Philip Mosima (see June 5th, 1996).Daniel Komen is mentioned on this board every week because he ran 7:20 and 12:39 … not because he ran 12:55 when he was 19.I understand the following were rhetorical, but what the heck? I'll play.
how much of a moron are you ?!
How much? Well, probably
-> 6.6 - 7.1
On a good day; with good rabbits, pacing to bell, no wind, not too cool, modern track, shoes tied correctly, a good haircut and a bag of skittles, maybe
-> 8.7 - 9.2
what part of your peabrain cannot comprehend the rest of history to the present had not yet unfolded ???
The part at the front … the part that understands "ever" didn't cease on August 5, 1995.
how stoopid does someone have to be to not understand this ???
Not stupid enough to misspell "stupid".
Did you google "ever"? Try it .. ->
http://www.google.com-> "definition ever" -> click "Google search".
You can do this, Vent, I know you can. Try it.
idiot
what can't your peabrain not comprehend about :
2nd fastest 5k guy ever end 8th june '95
idiot
any guy who is 2nd fastest ever 5k runner ever at any time is an all-time great
utter moron
the history of 5k running or any other event can be written on any chosen date the author chooses
how stoopid do you have to be to not understand this ???
moron
what is this drivel
i have posted hard numbers
you have posted nonsense
idiot
i watched that race
as of that day he was 4th fastest ever, less than 1s behind ole wr
that made him an alltime great as of that day
what is this irrelevancy ?
get a clue fool
i'm talking end 8th june '95
moron
were you even born on 8th june '95 ???
i watched that race & the moment he crossed the line in 12'56 not 12'55, breaking the ole wr despite losing, he was an alltime great on that day
your "brain" seems to have discombooberated
i have no idea what on earth this nonsense is
fool
your peabrain seems to have no comprehension of historical perspective
i showed you top-10 for end 8th june '95
that made komen an alltime great at that point in time
i suggest you go look up moron in the dictionary & get your selfie in the definition updated

On June 5, 1996, who was the 3rd fastest 5000m guy "ever"? Was it the all-time great 5000m Philip Mosima?
Who in their right mind calls Mosima an "all-time great"?
The entire discussion is based around whether these guys from Paris 2012 are 'all time greats' etc .. and everything you're saying above says they are … which is what my point was originally .. they're among the fastest 5000m times in the world as of now.

yes
at the end of that day a 12'53 made him 3rd fastest guy and an all-time great at that date
Who in their right mind calls Mosima an "all-time great"?
being 3rd fastest guy at any time in history makes you an all-time great at the time

no
anyone who is in top 5 all-time at any point in history is entitled to be an alltime great as of that point in time
gebremeskel became 5th all-time fastest with that paris win making him an all-time great as of that date
the 5 guys behind him in 12'47/12'49 aren't yet entitled to that label

Oh, I see .. it's the top 5 times, and the 6th fastest time doesn't qualify. That seems somewhat arbitrary to me .. doesn't that mean, say, Jesse Owens is not an all-time great .. given his performances don't rank anywhere near the top 5, in any of his events.
Carl Lewis is not an all-time great in the 100m?
Sileshi Sihine is not an all-time great in the 5000m?
Hagos at 19 runs a time that puts him 7th fastest 5000m runner to date, and he's not all-time great, even though that time is 8 seconds faster than Komen's 2nd place in '95?
Who made this rule about the "top 5" = "all time greats"?
not to me
all-time great shoud mean few
10 is not few
my cut off is 5
he was an all-time great in the '30s
not now
put him on a synthetic in the '30s & he maya gone 10.0/10.1 & 20.0/20.2 & 8.50m
that's not an all-time great today
not anymore
no more top-5
not in current top-5
not all-time great as of '12 paris race conclusion
no he isn't
he didn't crack top-5 all-time
if/when he does he can be included as an all-time great as of that date
utterly clueless
as of end 8th june '95 he was 2nd fastest all-time & an all-time great
he then re-inforced it with 12'45 then 12'39
if/when his 12'39 is no longer in top-5 he will no longer be an all-time great at 5k
personal rule
anyone can make their own rule
