Is Kejelcha or Mo a better runner?

The season isn't over, though. Yomif is still going to get smoked at Doha.

Such a bold claim.

Isn’t track exciting again now that Mo Farah is off tripping on treadmills and talking sht about the sport’s heroes?

Wait did I miss the WCs or are we ranking Diamond League finals titles above medals AND PRs now?

Glad the season is over. What a roller coaster of emotions.

You didn’t miss the WCs. You did miss thinking Kejelcha would be dominant this season.

Betting the field is a lot easier in the post-Mo era, huh?

You gonna make any predictions or stay hung up on mine?

Yes it is a lot easier because no one in the current contingent is as good as Mo.

I predict Kejelcha will never amass half of the global golds as Mo. Happy?

No.

Put some skin in the game or STFU with this mindless bullsht.

He had won every 5k race he was in up until today. He also had one of the fastest 10k debuts ever. Not a bad season.

Considering that it is a stance that you disagree with, I’d call that more than enough skin in the game.

A thread comparing PRs, then a bunch of whiners saying that speed isn't important in running.

Silly thread.

+1

Kejelcha just isn't a competitor. Ask again when he has won 4 Olympic golds and 6 World golds... no that isn't happening. Ask again when he wins an Olympic or Worlds medal... of any kind. You want range? Gebrselassie 3:31.18 (1500 indoors) and 2:03:59 marathon.

Another global championship down, 0 golds for Yomif.

Do are you serious??

Yomif just rant 26:49 and took silver!

Mo wouldn’t have made the podium.

Mo would not have medaled today. Congratulations to Cheptegei, and good effort from Kejelcha for silver.

I am serious. Mo was a winner, Kejelcha doesn’t have a single gold yet.

How many world medals did Mo have when he was 22? Kejelcha now has 2 indoor golds plus Olympic silver.

Wait, what? He beat Cheptegei in the last World Championship in basically the same time.

Kejelcha *may* not rack up as many WC/Oly medals as Mo, but Mo’s are pretty trivial given the “competition” at 5/10k.

If last summer’s Ethiopian mega time trial is any indication of things to come then the post-Mo era of track is about to be exciting again.

Hahahaha. Mo regularly faced 12:4x and 3:31 (3:48 equivalent) guys like Kejelcha when he was in his prime. And he beat them time and again.

Ten. Global. Golds.

Lol "may not".
