American running has never been in a worse situation. Our sprinters are getting owned, and even the runners we think are the future, aka Jordan Hasay, would most likely have struggled not to have been LAPPED in that 5k. We are so far behind, we might as well pack it up!!!!!!! Eat donuts and be happy.
All of the North American athletes--including Jamaicans--appear jetlagged.
See not just Wariner looking sluggish, but also Jermaine Gonzales. You can be sure that Borlee will not be finishing ahead of them in Deagu. Same for VCB in the womens 100.
Thus I think Alysia (Johnson) Montano did well and Shalane did well. They will do better in Monaco and later.

American runners 15 seconds behind and we are happy about it... So embarrasing.
Yeah, it must be embarrasing for the most developed country in the world to be humiliated by a bunch of primitive Africans.
Less than a second behind her PR and the American Record?
Not a bad day's work at this point in the season. Your standards are a little, shall we say, unreasonable?
No one breaks records every time they race. A good performance gets credit for a good performance. Otherwise, every effort is a failure, an attitude that does no one any good.
Men's 1500m, I'm taking Asbel Kiprop for the overall winner and Lagat as the top American. Calling it now!
Wheating 3:28.22 FTW
Shalane within 1 second of the AR and gets DL points.
Hastings runs below the A and so Bizzarri can run now?
If so, then that's a pretty decent outing for the Americans.
Nick Willis for the win! White Power!!!!!!
Awesome 110m hurdles race! Tired of the world's best sprinters and hurdlers always ducking each other! That was close!
Defar ran 14:29 (17sec behind her PR)
If Bekele ran 17sec slower than his PR, than I'd hope that Lagat,CS,Teg would be closer than 15seconds. They'd be well over 13min. The Womans american 5k record is weak! Truth.
1500 off
I find your comments idiotic.
It's obvious neither one of you know the sport.
For an American to out run 7 of 10 Africans is an amazing feat.
Primitive Africans. Hardly!
Many of them live and train in the US.
Think Centrowitz was around 3:34. Laalou just looked amazing.
WOW, AMERICAN MALE MIDDLE DISTANCE RUNNERS SUCK!!!!!
COMPLETELY OWNED BY AFRICANS. EMBARRASSING!!!!!
Kiprop ruins races like it's nobody's business.
Manzano - 3:33.x
Wheating - 3:34.39
Centro - 3:35.x
Sounds like Wheating and Manzano got the A, still waiting on Centro
Lagat looked good. Finally the Americans run a fast 1500m!!! Bought damn time!!!!!
Lagat ran great for 3rd. Anyone got everyone else times?

If Bekele ran 17 seconds slower than his PR he may not even beat America's best 5k runners right now.
