Americans are not into racing like Kerr and Hoare.
Yoh guys are too precious. Race.
Race and you win or lise, but you learn about yourself.
Americans ard too concerned with winning, and less about competing.
Engels and Colby were racing too, Engels just crapped the bed and it wasn't his day and Colby doesn't have the solid work those two have done, if he stays healthy he's lethal but you can't compete with these monsters with tons of training under their belt.
Kerr’s comment seemed more like a playful jab than anything so I’m not sure why people are freaking out over it. I do think we should give credit to Alexander for a great race, and also to Engels, who at least went for it instead of sitting back with the 2nd pack.
Most of the Americans ducked into the meaningless 3000 to avoid facing these guys in the Wanamaker Mile big event.
I guess Cole Hocker and Cooper Teare didn't want to be in the big event.

Did you hear him say “If I was just racing the Americans today, I’d have won by a fair bit”….
Alexander was 5 tenths behind him and catching him at the finish. Maybe he thinks Alexander is Scottish too…
Lmao thought the same thing. He’s for sure more accomplished than any American rn but seemed like an odd time to make a crack when he just barely edged out like the US’s 5th or 6th best guy.
More accomplished than an Olympic Gold Medalist? Get outa here
Kerr is a classless bum who needs to shave that neck beard
Typical foreigners that come to the US for education and then stay because their country sucks for developing athletes.
I wish all of these development training groups/clubs/projects would only work with Americans. You certainly wouldn’t have the attitudes like Hoare and Kerr and the World would have never heard of them.

Whatever gets you through the night, dude. Your country's talent pool is abysmal. Brits and Aussies making fun of you is like Ethiopia mocking Kenya for sucking at football.

USA needs to go lagat to basics. Import a Kenyan talent, feed him the best EPO money can buy, force WADA to declare a 'faulty A sample' if he gets popped, then give him citizenship.
As it is, a 25lb overweight Scottish rugby player is still in another league to any of you Americans.

If Kerr would have trained in Europe, he would have beat Cheruiyot.
If Jakob would have trained in the USA, he would have finished 4th.

Wada wouldn't help.
It is USADA who is corrupt and hides positive US results.
All this smack talk pretty much sums up this board!

The why doesn’t he?

Because Europe is overloaded of talents (the east africans race in Europe).
He will make more money by winning 3:35 races in the US.
Than running 3:28-3:30 races in Europe, and almost never winning
And people laughed at me when I said America was a mediocre running country. I'm telling you it's common knowledge to everyone except Americans. Don't get upset.

Look at Katir, with his 3:28/7:27 in the US he would be the King, in Europe he is just a good contender.

Yes, ducking the world class competition that was lining up in the mile to instead just have a glorified college scrap. And even then, getting steamed by a Kiwi in the final 50m
Hocker, Teare, Nuguse, Centro are probably top 4 Americans.
What cracks me up, is these guys are all about pride for their countries of birth, when they are basically American. They have spent both gone through the NCAA system, currently have AMERICAN coaches and live in the USA. How many times in the last three years have they worn a Scottish /English & New Zealand vest and how much time have they spent in Scotland and N.Z. respectively?
It's like Nick Willis continuing to represent N.Z. after living in Michigan for 20 f'ing years. I've been in New Zealand more than him the last 5 years.
Considering his 5000 from December, Beamish is probably in top shape right now, while the americans are just starting to work.
Kerr is not in shape right now either, but he is easily the best runner of anybody who ran the 15 or 3 yesterday, so he still had a decent showing. Hocker and Teare likely would have been close to him.
Hoare's fitness is nearly complete right now as well. He could not have been beat by anybody yesterday.
I love the jealousy of America. Best country in the world and it’s not even close.
