I love Lagat's face when hugging webb. Its the look of "Calm the F**k down Webb you beat me after i ran the 5k & plus you'll probably suck at the world championships anyway"
After the NCAA Championships earlier this month, I was thinking that Leo Manzano needs to move up to 5000. But now its clear that he can run with the best.
yea, el guerrouj is sick. but a kick to me is the last 150, like a strideout - pretty much top end speed. the last 300 meters is more strength in my book. and in the last 150 i still think alan webb is pretty damn formidable relative to his peers.
@kungfusoccer77 It's because the World Championship was being held in Osaka Japan that year, other athletes were given Japanese flags as well. Still funny though hehe
he ran a sweet debut 10k...i dunno, i think he has good range. ofc, i guess if you're talking world class maybe he doesn't...but i still think he'd be sweet at a whole host of distances if he trained for them. we saw him run that 1:45 5 days before he pulled out that 3:30, so he can come down at least. but yea, he's optimally a miler...perfect high speed/strength mix. which milers have better kicks than him? his speed is sick.
