So many people act like hes done and way out of it, yet he finished 2 seconds behind Rupp and was closing . . .
Remember Last year when he showed up at worlds and was fat and out of shape. Then, weeks later he freaking popped a world leading time in the 10k, while handily beating Rupp? And from what I understand, hes been healthy since that and now will have a full year of healthy training under his belt by the olympics since that race. The dude has TWO MONTHS. I see two possibilities right now.
1. Bekele is Sandbagging races, so as to not push the envelope and get injured.
2. Hes heavily in training and yet to do specific work, knowing he can very quickly round into form, which he will.
Bekele will not disappoint. Farah will give him a good run, but I suspect that Bekele will handle him in the end.
