Losing to Solinsky in a 10K.
Why do you want this to happen?
No way, salazar would love that. Imagine the running machine that would be conceived if they bred those two.
becoming an atheist
opening his mouth and blabbing like he is going to run such and such or place such and such, and then have strings of DNF and sal dumps him
Why is this even coming up? He broke the old AR this weekend. He is not getting dropped.

Rupp is an inferior athlete, by far talent wise.
Its amazing that Salazar got him down to 27:10 and competitive against the big boys.
Take one look at Rupp's musculature, facial structure, and biomechanics. He's far from an athlete and Salazar turned him into one. Very impressive.
He starts a punk rock band and misses workouts to play.
If breaking the previous AR would cause an athlete to be dropped by his coach, that's a coach that has a problem.
That said, Rupp simply lost to a superior athletes. When it came to kicking time, you have a 3:35 guy against a 3:39 guy. What happened is what anyone with any knowledge at all would expect. And keep in mind that this was Solinsky's first 10K.
Rupp simply isn't fast enough to win a medal in an international championship. Solinsky may be. A 3:39 guy in the last lap against the Ethiopians is a joke--all that so-called improvement in 1500/3K/5K isn't a statement of strength, but how slow he used to be in terms of basic speed.
Only a loser would claim that Rupp was a dominant athlete or that this was an upset.
