Webb vs. Willis, Solinsky vs. Rupp Part 2

interesting rivalries, but im not so much interested in them racing eachother as much as how they race against international competition. I keep hearing that rupp is racing in Europe this summer but when and where will this actually happen?

Yeah, Webb v. Wills could become a rivalry. Rupp v. Solinsky, probably not so much. But it's the age old debate of which do you choose- time (Rupp) vs. place/wins (Solinksy). I'd say Rupp's second at USATFs showed he can race well, and Solinsky's 3k showed he can run pretty close to the next level.

My sense is that Rupp v. Solinsky is not even a rivalry. Their best events are different 10000 v. 3000/5000. Solinsky v. Teg v. Lagat (5000) is more interesting. Last year it looked like Teg was the next BK, but it might be Solinsky.

Webb v. Willis?? That's only a battle at this point if you're from down under or UM. Webb v. Kaouch, Komen, Baala is where it's at.

quite the rivalry

Wow this is a classic bump

we really can't predict anything

yea someone bumped a thread about how Andrews was nowhere near Wheating last year. It was funny how things can change so quick. This thread is even more amusing. How things can REALLY change in three years. We should all just make race to race predictions so we won't look foolish in the future.
