Seriously. This prick has Alan Webb syndrome. Spend time in the weight room, get all buff, focus on presentation & appearance, etc.
That's what I like about Andrews. Dude just gets out there & runs his balls off. No primping, no preening, shirt untucked, etc.
Symmonds wants to be on the cover GQ. Ass-clown belongs on the cover "Stuck-up A***ole Quarterly"
Saw this article linked on his twitter feed. "Brad Pitt of the sport"

I thought beer was mentioned?
nick symmonds is a boss, youre all just mad that hes more of a boss than you.
The other day I was doing 14 x 200 workout and left my water bottle by the finish so I could grab a sip at the end of each 200 if I needed it. It's quite hot and humid down here. At the end of the session I decided to do one extra because I felt really good. I didn't want to walk back to grab my bottle so I just carried it back while I ran. I didn't even try to , but I dropped 1.5 seconds off that last run.
Maybe running with a burger and a beer would help Nick after all.

This.

What is Coors Lite? In Colorado, we actually know how to spell "light".
Interview confirms what a nice and cool dude Nick is. He does take his track seriously, but he does like to relax a bit and he is still very respectful. I love you Nick. And i want to accompany you to the Olympics.
Symmonds should relax with Paris Hilton the night before the finals. Master her, guzzle the beers and the burger and sleep ten hours. Perfect preparation for a new PR.
was I the only one that thought Nick looked thick in the mid-section during his 800m? not judging, he justed looked like a tree trunk out there - and a fast one at that.
Before the "that's we she said" comments begin, I'm wondering if he's doing some intense core-lifting regiment. has he always had that trunk? was it the camera?

Hahaha excellent
Yeah, remember when Alan brought a keg to a race and started drinking beers afterwards? He was railed for that.

Until you have walked a mile in someone else's shoes you ought to stfu. What a stupid, stupid, stupid comment.
YOU MAD BRAHH?? YOU MAD? YOU MAD BRAH??
If memory serves me correctly, this comment appears to be so amazingly unoriginal.
I seem to remember a book or article that mentioned, I believe it was Eamonn Coghlan, who had made a comment about eating a really huge pre-race meal and some comment about how he races with his legs and not his stomach!?
The meal Coghlan spoke of was obviously not your typical Runners World waif-like fair they recommend and would seem really rebellious and cool to the jogger crowd.
Again, presuming my memory is correct than Symmonds comment is completely unoriginal and lame.
Why is would it be cool to "run the race with a burger in one hand and a Coors in the other"? Do you think he can disrespect his competitors like that? No wonder he has trouble getting sponsorship.
I will forgive the person who posted that for being in junior high.
If he dyed his hair black, he would be Schmidt from New Girl needing to put dollar bills into the douchbag jar.
Symmonds looks like "Dexter".
If he doesn't make the team he could always join Paris on stage during her fantastic Dj sets...

The getting railed might explain why he was running poorly... probably left him pretty sore for a couple weeks.

There is nothing cool about having a Coors Lite (sic). With so many fantasic options in microbrews, imports, etc., I will never understand why people settle for the likes of Coors, Miller, Budweiser and all of their off-shoots. Why not save a few bucks and just drink tap water.
To some the taste is oh so refreshing!! I can take a nice big chug of a miller or coors. I don't get the same refreshing effect from a sam adams or a guinness etc. Drinking a nice cold coors, taking a huge gulping sip, is as refreshing as chugging some water or gatorade after a workout, especially riptide rush! I can chug damn near the whole 32 ounces after an intense workout, delicious! I do like other beers, they just don't have that effect when I'm feeling "dehydrated" at Beer:30 and need to guzzle down some Rocky Mountain Glory. For those of you trying to goof and have him run the finals with burger and beer in hand, come on man. That's his post semi-final meal the night before an off day. Sounds like a solid diet to me, its not like he's going on a fast food binge. If anything the burger and beer 2 days before the finals will boost his psyche. Symmonds wins in sub 144.
