Would you rather be Rupp, Solinsky or Centro right now...

If you could pull a Freaky Friday and trade places with either Rupp, Solinsky or Centrowitz for the next year (through the Olympics) which would you choose and why?

re: Problem?

Centro. He's the anti-Webb.

Webb: all the talent in the world, huge ego, vain (pumps iron for appearance, hair plugs, etc.)

Centro: less talent, tons of heart & hard work, humble, aggressive / competitive mentality

Right now Webb is sitting on a sofa, watching Three's Company re-runs & eating KFC fried chicken while his wife is banging some also-ran college 5K guy.

Meanwhile, Centro is recovering from a helluva tough season, focusing & planning on summer 2012.

Seriously, guys, there is not a single 1500M runner in America who fears Webb, who even THINKS about that FLOP.

When Webb steps on a track, his legs feel like concrete, his self-doubt creeps in, and he just knows his AR is soon to be obliterated (hi Andy Wheating).

Alan, go back & do your 4 years in college, you're gonna need a degree, you are an abject failure and disappointment to us all. You got caught up in the glory & forgot how to compete like a champion. You're a damn loser.

Seems like as good of a time as any to bump this thread.

I'll go Rupp, he's had a rough couple years, but I think he's got a better chance of making the team for Paris than Centro

If only these posters knew what both Rupp and Centro had in store the next few years! (too bad about Solinsky's injury)

All of them are pretty much done, so at this point you are asking who's career would you rather have had.

Rupp- the best US born distance runner in the past 30 years.

Centro-1500 Oly gold- boom, nuff said.

Solinsky- fast times as a pro, but looks to be a promising coach, that part of his career is just really getting going.

Manzano!

The thread was for 2012.
Manzano was not a choice but he did get an Olympic Silver in 2012, which pushed Centro to 4th.

Of the choices, Rupp got the 2012 Silver. He won the thread.

Long term, that Centro Olympic Gold is the biggest thing in all our lifetimes.
