The only way Asbel can do it is if someone invented a firecracker that will burn for 3 minutes 25 seconds and tie it to his bum. The starting gun should shoot at the fire cracker.
Otherwise, he might sleep after one lap as usual and wake up too late.

Kiprop has no chance at breaking 3:26. No chance.
Correct. Let's be real here, not happening.

I would be shocked if he broke 3:29 again. That is moving.

Kiprop will run under 3:29 again, If I was a bettin' man I'd put money on it.

Kiprop is a unique runner. I'm impressed particularly by his 800m PR of 1:43.15.
What do you think of the 7:42.32 3000m he ran in 2007?

those were poorly run with him the proverbial mile behind at the bell ( started them more like a 1500 !!! )
he shouda been high-1'42 in at least 1 of those if he'd run it as a "proper" 800 with a faster start
i think he was at worst that last year but didn't really run a serious 800 ( just a leg-stretching 1'45.9 in sydney in february )
he's now gone 3'31-flat in doha with a finish of
12.4 !!!
that's the fastest finish ever in a fast 1500
i think he's in more like mid-1'42 shape currently
What do you think of the 7:42.32 3000m he ran in 2007?
his x-country earlier in year indicates also best endurance of his life

not since 2004 has any runner ran faster than his 3:28.88 that he ran last year. he won't run sub 3:26 anytime soon but he may PR.
