I agree with you. I don’t think I’m more racist than the average person (I think we’re all slightly racist), but seeing OSU win does nothing for me. I am happy for Alex Maier, but I don’t even know anything about the other guys. I was hoping for Nico and Bosley and Hasty to win again. And the sad part is that they ran well enough to do it. Not their fault Dave Smith bought a team. If you look at the view counts on the post race interviews it’s clear most people agree with this stance, they just aren’t allowed to say it out loud.
You nailed it. Celebrating OSU’s win feels empty. Maybe the 22 year old freshmen OSU athletes will learn how to use a computer now.

Kipngetich was 20 years old at the time of the race. Musau was 17 years old at the time of the race. Most of NAU's team is 23 or 24. Nico was older than both of OSU's freshmen.
Why can't Nico beat a 20 year old? He only beat their 17 year old by 6.8 seconds.
Denis is listed as a 22 year old on his World Athletics profile not 20. Where are you getting that Brian Musau is 17? I have found nothing on the internet that states his age or birthdate. Please share your resources. Nico is a 21 year old academic senior compared to Denis being a 22 year old freshman. A freshman older than a senior?
