10 Years later and Centro is STILL SLOWER then Webb??????!!!!!!!

Centro's best 1500 is 3:30...the Olympics were extremely tactical.

Every current world class runner has a slower mile PR than Webb.

What's his mile PR tho?

He has run 3:50 indoors and his 1500 PR is faster than Webb's... oh, and he has won an olympic gold. No disrespect to Webb but Centro has already surpassed Webb's greatness.

The mile is a dead event and has been for a decade or more. There are maybe 2 truly world class mile fields per year. They never end up going fast.

Hi, my name is Matt C. Hey all you speed merchants out there, I have something to say to you: NYA, NYA, NYA, NYA, NYA!!!!! That applies to Olympic gold, World Outdoor Championship silver and bronze, and World Indoor Championship gold.

Can't help myself...gotta repeat: NYA, NYA, NYA, NYA, NYA!!!!!

Sincerely,

None are, NONE WILL BE! And do I really have to repeat my childish taunting again? NYA, etc?

Didn't have to be the fastest gun in America to win OLYMPIC GOOOOOOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or WORLD OUTDOOR CHAMPIONSHIP SILLLLLLLLLVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or WORLD OUTDOOR CHAMPIONSHIP BRONNNNNZE!!!!!!!!!!!!! or WORLD INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIP GOOOOOOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have gold, not fool's gold.

Now, you can worship whomever you want, and I don't mind one bit if I'm not up on your altar, because those like Alan Webb who hold records are deserving heroes in my book, too.

Excuse me for not writing more...ALL THESE MEDALS AROUND MY NECK are weighing me down, which is also partly why I didn't run a 3:29.29 1500 meter AR classic in Monaco today! Heavy, man! I keep forgetting to remove those medals. I love 'em. I sleep with 'em. I'm proud of 'em. I certainly can't sleep with an American record (though I can sleep with my 45 RPM single of the Beatles singing "SLOW DOWN". Get it? Slow down? NYA, etc.)

Mile PR doesn't matter as much as 1500m.

1500m is the standard event. Mile is novelty event.

Well thank you. Tactical usually means slow because they run slow until they kick the last lap...Centrowitz is very good at winning those kinds of races.

Matthew is gold, bro. End of story.

As far as US denizens go, outside of the few who congregate on LRC - no one knows or cares about either guy. It's unfortunate too. If centro was competing for Canada, he'd be quite famous.

Who has more olympic gold medals?

Centro actually runs the 1500m to compete in track and field and has seldom contested the mile. With Webb, one gets the sense that the main focus on his career was to run a fast mile.

Every race Centro runs is tactical. If he went to the front and ran solid the WHOLE race, there'd be less naysayers, but he never does.

Where did Webb PR, some Middle School track in Belguim? How can we be sure it's actually a full 400m?
