Birgen out.

lol @ the Centro fanboys. He will get murdered in the finals and go home devastated. Just like in London.

Keep talking about how "smooth" and "relaxed" he looked though. Too bad that shit doesn't win medals.

And it sucks that Soul Man got tripped up and is out. Only dude with big enough nuts to try the double.

"just like in london"? he was 4th and likely will get a bronze once the gold gets stripped. 3rd in the world isn't exactly getting "murdered." did you forget to take your meds today?

I don't want to get too excited, because all though there were a lot of casualties in the semis and Centro look pretty awesome, 3 Kenyans and Gebremedhin are in the final, so a medal is still going to be hard to achieve. A man can hope, though.

Spot the guy who is off the dope..

HINT: He's an Olympic medallist that just finished last by 50 yards.

Don't mind him, he recently found out he's a loser.

Umm, yes it does.

Realistically there are 5 guys left who can medal.

I also don't know why lomong ran 1500 instead of 5k.

lol @ the Malmo fanboys who believe his rubbish that you can't learn anything about how much a runner has in the tank by observing the strain on their faces and bodies.

Hard to guarantee anything against this field -- especially when heat one was 8 seconds slower -- but Centro can close *much* faster than that, and can contend for a medal. Even a gold if Kiprop stumbles.

Oh please. Give this fantasy up. If Makh-Daddy tested positive we would know by now. Point is - Centro was CRUSHED in London and will go down in a similar fashion in the Moscow final.

But please, fanboys, keep on talking about how "relaxed" he is. We are all impressed.
