um.... ever heard of Usain Bolt?
Sorry, I read it as biggest "appointment." You meant the opposite. In which case, yeah, Kiprop really stunk it up.
isanbayeva
-underestimated competition
-failed miserably
-just epic failed 3 jumps
kiprop
-underestimated competition
-failed miserably (x2)
-just awful tactics in 3 races
it's close
Umm... ever heard of Yelena Isinbayeva?

Considering the relays' recent history, why was that a bigger disappointment? At least Kiprop and Isinbayeva were pretty significant favorites.
You could say that? but that's dumb, he's had probably the longest most raced out year of anyone at these here championships.
the post above is to the galen rupp thing. and why wouldnt it be a bigger disappointment? they keep messing up after being considerable favorites for a medal. twice in a row at major meets, thats pretty lame.
umm ever heard of meseret defar?

Well, for me it's because of the lowered expectations ... I mean, it was disappointing, but was anyone really shocked?

In order
Asbel Kiprop
Yelena Isinbayeva
Dayron Robles
Meserat Defar
How about Abubaker Kaki?
i think kiprop may be a doper.
The biggest disappointment is the entire meet. What a sense of futility. There was no real excitement.
he'll run 3'27 in zurich, so he'll not cry into his beer over this
I still say the biggest desappointment was the announcers.
Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?
Am I living in the twilight zone? The Boston Marathon weather was terrible!
How rare is it to run a sub 5 minute mile AND bench press 225?
Move over Mark Coogan, Rojo and John Kellogg share their 3 favorite mile workouts

Red Bull (who sponsors Mondo) calls Mondo the pole vaulting Usain Bolt. Is that a fair comparison?
