Official Day 1 2015 USA Outdoor Live Discussion Thread

Thanks Carrie Tollefson for asking the tough questions...NOT!

Rupp looked very good in the interview, happy, which is nice to see.

That reporter all but apologized to Rupp for the tough time he's been having.

What? Carrie was asking the hard questions. She knows how to ask the hard questions.

Lutz listed as DNF. The camera showed him still out there plodding away a couple minutes after Rupp got the win. Bummer.

Now it's the BroJos time to shine, we better get some good interviews out of the mixed zone

You saw what Rojo said over the last 15min, right? Good luck though.

Rupp had some serious roid rage when he got clipped. That was insane. It's a race, bro.

Rupp is incredible. If he's on something legal, please let me have it.

Honestly? Screw your bias.

Awww lighten up. The man pays the bills for the site we're using.

Who was Hutchings' partner on the broadcast? He sounded like a U of Oregon homer/fanboy. He COMPLETELY ignored T.H.'s comments at around the 24' mark of the race about Galen's recent doping allegations and how it might be affecting him. As soon as the words left Tim's mouth, the co-commentator rattled off some splits like he never heard the question. Anyone else catch that and was bothered by this commentator's lack of respect for Hutchings in that moment?

DISQUALIFY THEM.

What a drama queen.

Estrada is back! pouring water on the head must be a good tactic.

Yes, it is. Cools you right off.

Alexi Pappas in the women's 10,000 should have ditched the hat and gone for the water. The hat was a ticking time bomb in hot weather. Unless maybe she had something cold under it.

Shut up you jackass.

Just stop posting

Do tell. You posted garbage (hurr durr where's Levins?? so funny!!), and you got something equally clever in response. I'd love to hear an explanation of why I'm "so moronic", but I doubt I'll get anything other than tired and unimaginative insults in response.

Nice race by Rupp. Impressive, decisive break. If he was indeed rattled by the recent allegations against him, one wouldn't know it tonight.

That's how taking Alpha Male makes you feel!

It seemed like Rupp thought he was clipped on purpose. He then figured, 'f*ck it. I'm not going to wait to get tripped up, let's see who comes with me on a 58s penultimate lap. Oh, no one? Well, let me just coast it in.'

I sort of expected a bigger eff you type response from him once he crossed the line. I hoped/expected to see True there with 100 to go to dust him, but what can I say I have New England bias.

Yeah, I thought the same thing. Little things count. Just like in the winter, you can be pretty well stripped down but wearing gloves and a hat make all the difference in the world. Gotta keep the extremities in the safe temp zone. It's like these Puritans who may complain about the gal's skimpy outfits don't know what they're talking about.

Rupp seemed unaware that the camera was taking an extended shot of his butt while he was bent over untying his spikes.

Seriously, when is the last time Rupp ran sub 55 in a 5/10000M race? Has he done so since 2012. I am starting to question if he is losing speed. At 29 he's more old than young for the track. Not that you would expect him to do it for this race. But if he never displays that top end speed for 2 years running, you cannot help but wonder.

GALEN JUST DOMINATING. Would have liked to see a 55/54 last lap, but i'll take the 1k surge.

Also, LOL at Lutz jogging out there. I like the dud, but come on.

True was certainly trying.

Hassan Mead makes his first ever world championship team!
