3:32!
3:32!
and sadly...well beaten.
Good race for him. He's not as good as Baala, Iguider, Boukensa etc. in a one-off race clearly, but if he could make it to the final he's not that far off of them. I mean Willis showed where a smartly-run race can take you even with more modest PRs. I think that Kiprop and Keitany might be at a slightly higher level than the rest.
Lopez proves we can compete with the Africans.
very dorian ulrey of him to get pulled along like that. way to hang in there for 3:32:very high
he was beaten by 6 africans and many of the best were not running (Komen, Choge...)

Bernard Lagat already proved that.
That's an A for Lomong, which means that Ulrey's B gets him to Berlin.
Ulrey was already going, it wasn't in question.
i thought ulrey ran 3:34 or 3:35 earlier

Ulrey's A from Rome got him to Berlin.
Lagat is ex-kenyan.
and Lomong is ex-sudanese.

Oops, screwed that up.
Lomong is an African.
Lomong will run sub 3:30 sometime in the next few years, me thinks. And he runs purely off strength. Not that speedy at 400m.
And I can't wait until he steps up to the 5k. He just dominated Solinsky in that indoor 3k way back when...he has the strength to run with Bekele.
GO LOMONG!
Good to see the U.S. mid distance men doing a bit better... now that the women are doing so well.

You're right, he owned Solisnky in that race. BUT
...he has the strength to run with Bekele.
are you fvcking SERIOUS?!?!?! stupid
Precisely, it was 3:30.96 for the winner Baala, 3:32.94 for Lomong
Symmonds also set a PR in the 800, 1:43.83...Kaki won in 1:43.50
Some of you guys are truly pathetic. The guy trashes his pb and you are talking about how far back he is. He ran a great race. Let it go and get a life you negative loser.
