RUPP WINS IT I SAY, HOW MANY BELIEVE IT?

When will this be on TV? Live? Prime time? Never?

Teg will be first USA finisher!!! Rupp will fall back after 6k and blame the weather or air conditions. Ritz will line up in Five Fingers in a last minute effort at form change. He will run like all other barefoot fakes SLOW! The only man running for the USA will be our leader.

Holy shit what a run from Felix Sanchez there! Isn't he like 35 years old?

2h05mins to go... I hope the coverage is awesome:)

Where will Salazar be?

There's been some rain and temps were cool at 59 yesterday, much like Portland. If that weather keeps it up, pollen count should be low enough, and I think Rupp can take it. He may not be a favorite, but I think he has a good 30% chance.

Bekele

Farah

Rupp

It's 1 hour to go here in Colorado and I've already had 2 beers... I'm bouncing off the walls for this race! I'm of course rooting for Rupp but I just want a great race regardless of who wins. This will be history in the making with a win from KB or Rupp or Mo!

Should be interesting to see if Rupp and Farah (even Ritz) work together for a little bit during the race to at least help push each other with the leaders. If they do then it wouldn't be for long because even as training partners, I doubt one doesn't want to lose to the other especially when it comes to a medal.

I know- less than an hour and I keep looking at the clock and I've had enough of water polo and this goofy hats they wear.

Let's go RUPPPPPP!!!!

Bekele

Farah

Wildcard African

Remember in 2011 when Rotich, who no one talks about, beat Rupp? There are more guys like that in Africa

Geez. I feel like I need to go out and do a warm-up right now to fight off the jitters.

Let's go Rupper!

Cam Levins too, woo hoo!

I hope they will divulge their secrets after the London competitions.

I'd be happy to just see Rupp in the mix with 300 left.

Bekele is my favorite runner ever though. His last 200m in the 2005 WC is forever in my wind.

Bets on Estrada leading at some point??

Yep, I got red lips from drinking the koolaid! Ruppster medals! Don't have a lot of faith in Farah or the recent Bekele. Teg will get lapped. Can Ritz kick? I can see him staying in it, but lost the last 150.
