Centro goes home DEVESTATED

Centro just wanted that first mover advantage on whichever good kicker (like Andrews) was gonna make a move. He def lost a little bit of the special sauce when Ben B challenged him. Andrews was on fire though. So otherwise it might've been completely neck and neck down the final 100m. Idk if Robby has the mentality to be neck and neck the entire homestretch. Would've been close.

Ehh Centro will be the top American in London.

So you're going to call someone out for placing second in a QUALIFYING race thinking this gives you some right to run your little mouth about how he is "devestated?" Geez, this it what happens when millenials think they can seem tough by railing against the "everybody gets a trophy" culture from the top of their bunkbeds while mommy and daddy fight in the kitchen. Give me a break, get out and do something for a change. Yes, Centro lost this race, but come worlds nobody will gave a rats ass about that if he wins. Give props to Robby, he deserves it. But threads like these are ruining our sport, and shame on letsrun for featuring a (spelling corrected) link to it on their homepage.

Why respond to blankenshop fence jumper?, he's nothing.

Bad tactics, and the tactics were to cover something- lack of fitness or lack of mojo.

He wasn't himself in that race.

If he knows this, why cover blankenfencejumper?

Tank you.

For once, Centro didn't run smart. His large ego made him try to keep the rail, instead of just letting Ben B go around. He wasted so much energy from 600 to go to 400 go just trying to hold him off. Should have let him go around, he knows he can easily out kick him, why challenge him that early on? He will learn from this however.

this exactly. lots of wasted energy too early.

he won't make the same mistake at the world championships, he's excellent at learning from his mistakes (waiting until last 100 against murphy in the 1k about a month before rio)

STILL THE GOAT

I've always said centro is a total loser who couldn't beat me at any distance on any day. He sucks sucks sucks. He's never been good and he will go down as the worst runner in history with a lucky medal that everybody in the world laughs at.

See, when you make the whole thing all caps it means that goat canot be a acronym unless you put periods in between each letter. So what you effectively said centro is the lowercase goat, like bill Buckner, Luis Castillo, or James comey

Eh, I'm not too worried about his chances at worlds. Props to Andrews though, that kick was pretty nasty

When has centro ever been seriously outkicked before? I'll answer that for you- he never has in a major race. This to me shows clearly that his kick was coming from illegal substances, and that stopping them has taken away that key part of his game. He is injured and finished

Bro, do you remember Leo Manzano and the times he raced Centro?

Uh, yeah I do. Manzano never outkicked centro. You would need a very generous (i.e. Incorrect) definition of kick to say that he did

" He will learn from this however."...so did the Kenyans and the rest after Centro's fluke win at the Olympiad.

Ummm, there was a race in London in 2012...

Olympic Trials 2012?

It's some very simple logic here. All people who outkicked centro beat centro, but not all people who beat centro outkicked centro. Manzano beat centro, he didn't outkicked him
