I agree with the OP (finally learned that waterknots slowly worked loose), Bolt and Prefontaine

But watch out for Mo..... a 5,000/10,000 meter guy who after only a month of speed training runs a 3.28 1,500 hundred....the record, old as it is, could fall.

Mo Farah has a great kick. He might lower his 1500m time, and maybe even threaten 3:26.00 .
But in his main events 5k and 10k, he is more of a racer, using his kick.
Kenenisa Bekele holds the WRs in both events. I don't think Mo has given a serious try at getting a top time in those events, and I'm not sure how he would do. Bekele in his top form could hold a hard pace, or he could kick, so he was undefeated for quite awhile.

Obviously Billy Mills. Came from one of the most obscure places in this country and won gold in the Olympics. No one thought he had a chance.
