18-Year old Phenom Seems To Be The Man To Beat in 2013by LetsRun.comMay 10, 2013Alberto Salazar and Mo Farah, your worse nightmare came true tonight in Doha.Heading into tonight’s 3000 which featured much of the top young talent in the world, we wrote: “Quick Take #1: HAGOS, HAGOS, HAGOS. It's time for a new ruler. If Hagos Gebrhiwet wins this race impressively, it's all over. Raise the white flag, Mo Farah and everyone else. Not really, but it will make Moscow that much more interesting.”Well Hagos did win and boy was it impressive. The young Ethiopian running in his last race as an 18-year old gave himself an early birthday present (his birthday is tomorrow) as he crushed everyone over the last 400 meters to win in an outdoor world leading 7:30.16 thanks to a blistering last lap of 53.93.After the last lap was over, commentator Tim Hutchings summer things up perfectly.This is what domination looks like

Thanks for the post. It seems like he is going to be something special! Mo Farah was an excellent competitor. But he did not run any spectacular times. But Gebrhiwet could be challenging world records soon. Exciting!
