Matt Tegenkamp, is he taking over Mottram's throne of being the Big Mazungo?

The point was that if you look at their comparative best times and early season form there is nothing to suggest that Teg is any better than Cragg or that Teg is feared any more than Cragg by the Africans.

Technically speaking, isn't Cragg ONE of the Africans himself?

Isn't Cragg IRISH? How is that african?

Or was he born in South Africa or something?

Since you apparently have no idea what you are talking about.

Mazunga is a village in Beitbridge District in the province of Matabeleland South, Zimbabwe.

In East Africa, mzungu is a Caucasian person.

Mazungo is not a word.

Teg's 3:34 for 1500 should be noted as it is quite a bit better than his mile

you fool! certainly you mus t know by now teg does not run the 10K.

They are both pretty good 10k runners, it's hard to say really

this cannot be true.

because teg refrains from 10King, you see.

Refresh my memory; what place was "Buster" at the last WC or in the last Oly games???

I feel that teg has a realistic chance to get each of Mottrams pr's in the next few years. Mottram could still come back and prove that he can "do it" in the big meets; I wish him luck. No need to pit these two against each other-I am very impressed that both of them seem to have not fear of the Africans!!!!!!!!

"not fear of the Africans!!!!!!!!"

until teg stops getting boxed in and has the courage to run up near the front (from the beginning) instead of running in the chase pack hoping to catch some guys that might fall off then your statement will be a 100% correct.
