Kid almost won it. He is truly a force in the 1500. |
| Pre is my favorite |

Great race Centro... Did Rupp drop out? I literally got the live stream on halfway through the race, and immediately saw a white guy drop out, looking injured. |

The kid is an absolute stud. I know that it is beginning to sound cliche, but he he is just so good tactically. He always puts himself in good spots and finishes well. So smooth too... |

You notice how wide Centro went on the last turn with 100m to go? That's a lot of extra running! He does a great job against american competition at running against the rail to ensure he runs the shortest distance. Yet against international milers he's always coming around the bend wide, and thus running a longer distance. He needs to work on that, but great race nonetheless. |

Rupp DNF 1:51 through 800. Maybe the pace was too fast. |
| Pre is my favorite |
| ||
It honestly looked like he got spiked or rolled an ankle or something |

| ||
|
he probably went thru in more like 1'53 ( right at back ) it's probably injury |

I counted on him being the top Amerikan finisher. Had his semi heat not been so damn fast at London, he would have a sure lock on the silver. Yes, he would have beaten M. |

Maybe he is hurt, dbag. |

Yup. Fun to watch, but I'm not buying it. |

it's just so funny how many on here talked about him being able to run 3:35 or only good in tactical races. I know he can run 3:30. be well |
| Not to be negative, but... |
| ||
Agree but he's always 3rd, right? Or 4th? How about smooth, tactics = 1st place!?! |

where's the streaming link? |

Really? Looked to me as if he ran the last 120 meters in lane 4. That's tactically good? If he had been patient he would have won the race. And yeah,I watched it live. |

got it. not to bother |

Not to mention he got surgery this year on his knee because he banged it up hard. Imagine what he would have done building off of last year's success. Surely he would have run 3:30 flat or faster. |
