when they become US citizens, at least they are happy to represent their country on the World Stage. Meanwhile, the born and bred Americans can't be bothered - it's too hot, it's a "third world" venue, there is not enough $$, it doesn't fit in with my schedule, etc. Kiprop was out there today - fit in with his schedule just fine. Just a bunch of weak excuses US-born distance runners are just soft and spoilt.
