YOU ARE A GREAT AMERICAN.
agreed. the only person with the balls to take on Bekele.
Americans have choices....I choose not to cheer for Lagat...I am not that desperate for a medal
LAGAT IS NOT A GREAT AMERICAN. HE LIED ABOUT HIS CITIZENSHIP IN 2004 SO HE COULD COMPETE FOR KENYA.
Fvck you haters.
Life is more complicated than that.
Athletes should not have to cow tow to countries to compete.
BTW, how many years do you think he has left?
I LOVE LEGAT
I'm all for cow towing in order to compete.
Lagat had a great meet. He ran his heart out in both the 1500 and 5000. Great job by him.

Why do we forget that lagat is a doper?
If he is, he certainly didn't start as a Kenyan. Porridge is all the dope we need.
I doubt he was or is, his performances have been on par even after all those new drugs came media stream and testing began. Look at the other athletes. You must remember once you dope it is hard to get to the level before doping. Your body doesn't need to make it's own doping to keep going. And going back would mean poor performances.
Lagat is 34 and still only 5" of his pr from his best 5 km race this year. All of his performances where good this year.
He is a natural.
Also he is the one that made the american flag stand there on the 5000 if not for lagat it wouldn't have been there for the 5000. I personally hope he keeps at it for some more years and then starts coaching and giving advice to guys like a 'future' webb (some kid that gets in the same thing as webb was)
I love Lagat, great races and a great man.
lagat is awesome, great runner and class act.
according to these dumb ass boards everyone is doping unless your slow and white. people are faster than you, deal with it.
Is Lagat a great guy or what.
His interviews on NBC have been wonderful.
He's lived in the USA a long part of his life now, met his wife here, had his kids here.
He's lost alot of his Kenyan accent, he really loves and appreciates being an American, and roots for and encourages the other athletes on the team.
It was also nice to see all the Kenyans...both in Kenyan and other uniforms, come up and heartily give Lagat a hug an a pat on the back after the race.
They know he is a champion.
great world championships lagat. i appreciate you deciding to come to america and represent us. american has failed to produce any distance runner that can medal. Thank you Bernard for being that runner.
Who's your daddy Lagat??????
