Lopes of course was defeated by Mamede so technically he did not break Rono's record. Lopes never ran 13:08. However, I agree with the point of your post.

Maybe . though if he's a serious contender for the 10 000m, he should've crushed these guys in this time .. Kamworor just ran what? And we know what kinda 1/2M shape he's been in.

Seriously.

This 5000 was at a slower pace than the Olympic 10,000 is going to go, and Rupp couldn't kick with 13:2x guys?

Lopes ran 13:16...

And then polishes the slowest silver medal since 1992, since he has not won a single major international race in his career.

Fixed that for you^

Interviews with Kincaid and Knight here:

Kincaid doesn't even have an agent and he beat Rupp. Rupp let up before the line but Knight beat him fair and square.

Knight's a huge talent and a super nice kid. Only 19.

First class is overrated nowadays, unless you're on a little plane. Any seat on an A321 is first class. GOAT airplane.

Can someone explain why we should read anything into this? Surely the only reason Rupp was entered was because it was in Portland. Salazar likes to get his runners into races just for the sake of getting competitive juices going. But I think it very probable that Rupp trained through this race.

In any case, we will know soon enough where Rupp's training has been when the Olympic Trials 5000M is run. We will know first of all if he even shows up at the starting line. If he does, then we will see how truly strong (or not strong) he is in that race.

Rupp ran a controlled 13:20 a few weeks ago, you idiots.

i guarantee you he is in a massive week of training or ran a hard workout this morning or something. 4 years ago he ran 12:58 in the 5k in june

this year he's doing the marathon and 10k in the olympics with the same coach that got him to a silver medal. he's probably in phenomenal shape

besides, who in the USA is going to beat him?! (i'll take my laugh now for the dude who suggests ben true)

good lord, you are idiots.

Darn.

I was just looking it up. Fernando Mamede had a 5k PR of 13:08.54. I got them confused.

Carlos Lopes ran a 13:16.38 5k PR on June 28, 1984 in Oslo. This was also just before he won the Olympic marathon gold, and still faster than Rupp ran tonight.

Carlos Lopes did break the old world record in the 10k in 1984 with his 27:17. I just left out the part with Mamede outkicking him and breaking the old world record by a little more with a 27:13.

Kamworor can run 4 consecutive 5ks with no rest about as fast as Galen Rupp ran one 5k tonight.

I am sure Kamworor is real worried.

Yea.

I saw the finish line video and Woody edged out Rupp at the line. I was surprised as well.

PURPLE PRIDE! NICE WORK WOODY! GRAPE CRUSH

You are the one who is reading something into this. Many of the rest of us are witnessing a mediocre result from Rupp with no reading into necessary.

At least Centro was able to kick in the slow 1500. Rupp is supposed to be in the medal hunt and can't beat Canada's second-best 5000 man?

Also, Levins???

Fourth best

Mo, (Levins), Bruchet, Knight

Training for the marathon, he has probably lost some of his speed. Training at Park City myself right now, I saw him and a few others up here just a couple of days ago. So he is probably a bit tired right now. I assume he will be back at PC soon for some more training before the trials. The weather here at PC has been perfect!

Hey man I actually just moved here and have been training by myself. Are you in college, highschool, club or what?

Who cares about Rupp here, we know he's doing the marathon, wtf happened to Jenkins who's supposed to be a threat for the 5k team?!

I was thinking the same thing. (Maybe he is in the same training mode as Rupp.)

Question -- is this Brian Shrader's best race since he turned pro after he won the U.S. Road Championship in 2014?

Question 2 -- does Shrader still train with Estrada?

We do? Why did Rupp say he wants to run the 5K at the trials? If I had to bet, I would say he is doing the marathon. But nobody should be shocked if he earns a spot on the 5K team. And if he does, that he chooses to run it instead of the marathon.

If you want to be good at 26.2, you don't want to be in good 5000 shape.

Really? How do you then explain Radcliffe's 5000 m PR at age 30, which came after her 2:15 marathon world record?

If you are hinting towards her suspicious blood values as an explanation, indicative of "likely doping", then wejo won't like it...
