Woody Kincaid on Joe Klecker: “Is it a rivalry if I haven’t lost to him?”

I don't know Woody Kincaid personally, but I found nothing objectionable in either comment. The first is simply a logically-sound question (or perception), the second was an honest admission that he had assumed (incorrectly) that Grant had made the team.

FWIW Woody is (in my opinion) correct; if runner A and runner B race multiple times and runner A always wins, they may be "rivals" but one wouldn't typically speak of an ongoing "rivalry".

You think Klecker's mom, an Olympian, didn't want to let him have the more comfortable seat to save his legs as much as possible during a meet he was doubling in?

Small fish/small pond **yawn**

Hahaha I don't know which interview you people were watching, but this was probably as pleasant and non-controversial an interview could be. He didn't seem agitated or throwing shade at others. Woody's right, though, just because Woody and Joe race a bunch doesn't really mean they have a rivalry. This would be like asking about the "rivalry" between Josh Kerr and Jakob.

100% he is a dick. I know a couple athletes from OAC and the general feeling is Klecker, Beamish and Whore are arrogant a@#wipes. Monson is very sweet and humble, came from a impoverished background, Huerta is kinda weird, etc but nice enough. It's too bad Dathan isn't more firm with these guys. The hubris of this generation of runners is beyond me.

True if Josh Kerr were 4 years younger, had nearly identical PBs, and had a higher world ranking than Jakob.
