Shut up moronic impersonator, Galen Rupp is no Kenenisa Bekele. When all is said and done, Bekele will have a 10,000m pb that is 31 seconds faster than Rupp, a 5000m pb that is at least 18 seconds faster than Rupp, and multiple gold medals at WC and Olympics compared to ZERO medals for Rupp. Bekele is past his prime but his prime was the best in the world. Rupp is in his prime and that is short of medal caliber, so as Galen will be past his prime in 4 years, he'll be lucky to make the Olympics at all.
And Bekele will ALWAYS be four years older than Rupp. One of these days, age will catch up to Bekele and Rupp will beat him. Wait... what's that you say? It's already happened! By golly, you're right! Pre 5000: Rupp 12:58, Bekele 13:01.
And Lagat will ALWAYS be twelve years older the Rupp. One day, Rupp might beat him as well. You're kidding! He's already done it! That's right, at a little meet called the Olympic Trials.
Combined with the fact that Farah is three years older than Rupp, and the title of this thread should be changed to, "Galen Rupp is Younger Than the So-Called 'Favorites'".
