When I was watching the Berlin marathon I was thinking how the hell they couldn't select him in the team ! When he was begging them ! Shame for ethiopian athletics

It would have been a duel down the stretch for gold between the two best marathoners (ever?). Probably not have resulted in a faster time though, so having KB run Berlin instead at least resulted in a tantalizing shot at the WR
Rupp would have gone home devastated
What had he done to show he was in 2:02 shape until this race? He should have run like this 6 months ago.
london was evidence enough.............that he was a medal prospect.
Ethiopia must be ruing the decision.
kenya too with regard to Kipsang.
Same idiotic crap they pulled with the world championships 10k team when they left him off. Their federation, like many dolts on here, seem to think the time on the clock carries more weight than racing.
payments were not made to federation officials in a timely manner. This is Africa we are talking about.
RIP: D3 All-American Frank Csorba - who ran 13:56 in March - dead
RENATO can you talk about the preparation of Emile Cairess 2:06
Running for Bowerman Track Club used to be cool now its embarrassing
Hats off to my dad. He just ran a 1:42 Half Marathon and turns 75 in 2 months!
Great interview with Steve Cram - says Jakob has no chance of WRs this year
