Salazar was bang on. Putting Rupp in the 10k and the marathon was absolutely the right move.
Letsrun fools weep again.
Amazing from Rupp. Amazing games for NOP. America should be proud of it's achievements in the distance events this Olympics.

You're right. I'm praying we Kenyans will continue to be allowed to use EPO. It's fair for us to be allowed to use drugs because we are from a poor nation.
After bronze there's no second guessing Salazar.
Can't wait to see Rupp run a major marathon like New York.
Are you suggesting Salazar got the chemical cocktail correct this time? Shame on you for supporting this.

YAY RUPP!!! YAY SALAZAR!!! YAY NOP!!!
No love for rupp on twitter. May distance runners (Flanagan, Goucher etc) rush to congratulate Ward and Meb. Very few have congratulated Galen.

It's because bullies like Goucher and Magness have created a hostile environment. Look how many people are happy on this site because they're anonymous. It's sad that we have Americans bullying patriotic Americans into silence!!! Also Rupp doesn't use twitter, but the other two do.
And lastly, who cares what thet think? Do they have olympic medals? Case closed.
Salazar's stupid hat strategy cost Rupp the silver

Hope he does Berlin or London because it will be crazy faster, but the money will likely be much better in ny.

F Goucher and Magness. Can't stand them both.

Wow, seeing that. Why no congrats for USA's bronze medalist Rupp?

Or maybe it's because Galen hasn't been on twitter in almost 4 years.
At least Molly Huddle had the decency to congratulate Rupp. I've lost all respect for Goucher, since that interview after the marathon trials.

Both should be banned from the sport for being proven to have been lying in Gouchers case or making incredibly stupid statements like Magness did that anyone with an iQ over 90 can tell are ridiculous. We don't need idiots or liars in the sport which detract from it. Still waiting on Gouchers response she promised. Letsrun grilled Salazar and Rupp for taking so long to respond. Irresponsible.
Same goes with NS. He should have to answer for intentionally misleading people in 2015 when all he cared about was his self promotion. It's not ok to mislead people for your own cause. He's one of the few worse than USATF themselves.

+100. Poor Shalane. Completely intimidated by Kara Goucher lording over her on Twitter. Goucher and Magness has made a career out of trying to destroy careers.
Gutsy run by Rupp! Congratulations!
GAAALLLLLEEEENNNN!!! He's a champ and doesn't deserve the vitriol he receives on this site. NOP FTW.
The critics fall silent. Foolish, foolish posters once more. And always unregistered. I wonder why.
Rupp did a great job and overall the US has had its best distance games in recent memory (if not ever?)

The right move implies you mean it was the best move among the combinations of doubling, tripling, or singling (if that's a word). Not completely sure it was the best move, as we'll never know what would have happened with just marathon training alone. Maybe Rupp is just good enough to withstand this combination.
I will say this, though: Without that 10k training to prepare for fast miles, would he really have done sufficiently fast training that allowed him to deal with Kipchoge's fast surge-miles that were injected? I know Rupp fell off, but it didn't do so much damage that he fell further back, either. In this way, 10k & marathon training looks like an excellent move.
Regardless, Salazar has made a MAJOR jump in cementing himself as one of the best Olympic & Championship coaches ever, with medals now from 1500m up through marathon.
And last, but definitely not least, CONGRATULATIONS TO RUPP for hanging so well with titans Kipchoge and Lilesa.
