HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA that would be me, since the guy you had in 7th just WON THE RACE, you idiot.

Nice prediction. You didn't get a single placing right.

LOL Jenkins takes Centro's behind... I mean... taking centro from behind...

I forgot Murphy is in this. So if he wins this, we all agree he would have won Olympic 1500 gold, right?

How many did you get right?

A 10k guy just beat the Olympic Gold medalist.

Jenkins needs to move down!

OK how short or downhill is this course?

Centro got a little cocky at the finish line and lost it. HAHAHAHA!!!!!

Doesn't matter centrowitz lost and is going home devastated

Pretty sure Centro's mom has ancestry from India.

Anyone else have their streams go out?. On the women's race mine went out from the three-quarters mile point to the finish and same thing on the mens but I was trying to watch on a phone off LTE .

And how hard up is Murphy for cash? Sprinting for the half way prime was idiotic. Also they didn't mention it I think but there was a $5000 bonus for a sub 3:50.

The real question of the day is how in this age is this not in TV during an Olympic year?

Obviously more hard up for cash than Blankenship.

No issues with my stream, but I agree that this should have been on TV. Am I ever gonna get that POTD shirt, Weldon?

My stream was fine ... The road mile is more fun to watch than track. Yeah I have no idea what Murphy was thinking at the halfway point. Moronic

This makes the 4th consecutive win for Simpson, and 5 wins total.

Centro looking over his left shoulder coming up to the line. Didn't see Jenkins coming up hard on his right. Great race!

He was thinking, "Wow, $1000 bucks for a two second surge!" He also scored cash for the finish place and likely a good bit of change for just showing up. Also, Try Betterer is a dick.

That was fun! Good action.Good on Murphy sticking his nose in it and Blankenship is always up for some front running.
