Yet in Chicago Emily Sisson going for the American record was literally never on the camera the whole race lol
It's funny, I was thinking of that race too. Exact opposite of what happened today in Tokyo. Surely there is a happy medium to be found?
Split screen? .. I can't believe how bad these broadcasts are. For a race that lasts 2.5 hours, you'd think they would know that the last 10 minutes of each are where it gets interesting, especially when you have a group of 6 runners all bunched together until the 40K mark.
I think a lot of people overlook what an epic comeback story this is for Levins. There were some desperately low years for him after his ankle injury. I remember a 30min 10k as immense progress. If you search these boards from 2016-2017 you'll see how he was written off by many so-called experts. And after his 2:09 in 2018 there was some ups and downs, and he was written off by many again.
I think Cam is a genius. Mr Houle let him do what was in his heart. But Salazar decided that Cam was wrong-headed. It seems that Mr Finn recognizes that maybe Cam has the right ideas for Cam? Cam seeked out Jimmy, and Jimmy was the perfect choice.
Cam is 34 this month. I think, in a silver lining kind of way, those downer years extended his career.
I can’t post the Japanese runner’s full name because there’s a default on the computer which analyzes it as a “profane name” and won’t let me post so I just use his first name. His last name starts with “Yama” and that’s as far as the computer won’t let me print.
Which was odd. Salazar has been quoted as saying he didn't think Levins' college mileage was sustainable.
But the program of high quality combined with reasonably high volume that Salazar put Levins on was what brought Salazar's own career to a premature end. Apparently he didn't learn much from his own experience.
