Everyone sleeps on Woody. No one, not Grant or Kleck, could match the Woodman’s final kick. He’s been a hero for us Colorado runners for a long time. Followed him from his days at Columbine HS. Incredibly deserving.

LRC Note. Watch the last lap here:

Not knocking the American runners at all but like someone posted they will be 200 to 300m back if the race is honest. Just ask Ritz from 2009 World Championships

How did he get the nickname “Woody” if his real name is William?

Lmao woody will not be within a lap of the medals and anyone who thinks otherwise hasn't been paying attention to the world 10k scene. Not even if it goes out at 6 min pace

WHAT? This might be the most idiotic post of the week. You Galen fanboys are so absurd. So you are saying that Galen would have been “up there” at a faster pace than he proved he could keep up with tonight? Wow….just wow.

Rupp looked more relaxed than anyone in the top 8. He easily jockeyed for positions while everyone else tried to hang on. He just did not keep up with the sub-56 pace.

Rupp wasn't even remotely a factor in that race. Stop kidding yourself. And he doesn't have the standard so it wouldn't matter anyways.

IF Rupp could have run 27:28 tonight, then he could have run away with the race with 3 laps to go. Galen was paced throughout the race and he ran 27:59. Galen could not have kept up with 27:28 pace. How can some of you people not grasp this?

BFDon the 53.4 , in perspective , three Ethiopians ran a 52 last lap running 26:50 pace..

Rupp looked relaxed. How can you not grasp he is BACK?

That was a great run by Woody Kincaid and fun to watch.

27: anything with a 53 s close is a world class run.

Not saying he’s a medal threat, but those are the right ingredients to think about it.

Enjoy the moment.

Okay Rupp didn't get top 3, but compared to his Portland Track Festival showing, this is definitely a promising sign for his outside shot at another Olympic medal. I was impressed at least. No disrespect to Woody and Grant, but these guys don't have a shot at medalling in the 10k. Rupp does in the marathon.

Nice to see him congratulating and shaking hands with Grant and Woody after the race. He's a great guy and seems to be having fun with the sport now.

No it's not. Closing in 53 in a 27:00 and 27:59 is completely different. Several collegians could do the latter.

If he bombs, he won’t. If he runs to his ability and reasonable expectations, he’ll run 27:10 to the winner’s 26:30, or so—260m? 6th-11th on a good day, 6th being in a surprisingly tactical (slow) affair.

That was fun to watch. Thanks for posting. Both this last lap and final result was nearly identical to this great race from 50 years ago:

https://youtu.be/mwyA3sfEED4

I know the history, but it's still surprising to read "1971" and see a 10k championship... with no Viren whatsoever.

Not in the picture. He placed 17th in 28:33.

Burrito Track Club with two.

Does Klecker wear On shoes just around the track, but not on it? Do you think he trains in them even? I've heard they look good, but aren't a running shoe too many actual runners like to train in.

The On shoes are just horrible. They do get bought by women for post yoga coffee. On is the only shoe Seth DeMoor has ever panned in his hundreds of shoe reviews! I tried a pair in the store and could not bear to walk in them let alone run on pavement.

27:25 is what I estimate he could have run.

Rupp looked like he was in his first ever track race. He seemed confused.
