Emily was a girl who earned her medal, hyena racer lucky to get a medal.
Rupp was what he is ; a top five in the world runner; when his twins grow up, he will get better, Rio may be his time for another medal.
Huddle is a troubled girl, will have to figure her mind out.
Martinez is done, no more for her, can only fake it till you make it for so long .
Flanagan has aged out.
Manzano has aged out.
Centro does have to move up to the 5k. Quick but his life is comfortable...bad combination .
Jager is a big meet choker, no idea where he goes; probably a 7:58 in a solo time trial race, but no world medal ever ... Never had the regular challenge of ncaa. The apple is forming in his throat now for Rio ...
Burla, davila, etc, cannot change gears at the end of a race.... Cant double at the end of marathon races .
Meb, Hall, any other us 26.2's have to be able to drop 9:15 deuce at the end if a long day ....wont happen.
Development of True?
Development of Cheserek?
Development of a few guys who marry US girls in order to get US citizenship ?
Loved your post, but you really think Flanagan has aged out of the marathon?
And Jamaica has only 0.038% of the world's population, but they did OK.

This is exactly what I thought.
Huling, Jager, Coburn, Infeld, Huddle, Flanagan, Rupp, Rupp again, True, Hill... 10 top-7 finishes at worlds, all of them in contact with the front of the race. I understand the focus on medaling, but they did well in terms of mixing it up with the world. Just need to find a way around a couple of people and it looks good.
3-4-5 in the women's 10 and 5-6-7 in the men's 5 would have had the champagne corks popping until very recently. These individuals have raised the bar very high indeed, and I for one am impressed.
Kenya was off-the-charts excellent this time, putting forth the best team effort ever seen in the distances. Ethiopia has not yet run out of the apparently endless supply of Dibaba sisters. Other than that, the US distance runners did very, very well, just not quite as well as they can now hope to do.

Because you are vindictive and small minded. If you ever accomplish 1/100th of what Molly Huddle has done, you just let us know.
Also, agree on Infeld. Beast with a big future.
Great run. Great heart. She'll never beat Huddle again.

She beat her in the big one, though.

The US has less than 5% of the World's population. So, anything better than that is a triumph. Sure, the US dope-positive-test-avoidance-techniques are good, because US investments in such are much better funded, but there is only so far those take the US on to glory!
Kenya has less than 1% so did they triumph?
