Though it's still early in the season, I think I learned a couple things tonight.
1. Alan Webb is not there yet. I predicted a few weeks ago that we would see him in the finals in London. I still think that, but with considerably less confidence.
2. Neither is Galen Rupp, if by there we mean gold medal contender. He needs to be capable of running 3:31 if he hopes to win Gold. Based on tonight, I would say he is not. And, even if he gets there, Farah will likely be able to run 3:30. Rupp may yet medal, but the metal won't be gold.
It's unbelievable how silly these posts are. Let me explain:
1. Webb has very very very little chance at making it to the finals. Wake up. Im no Webb hater but this it the reality.
2. Galen Rupp? If you seriously think he is a contender for a medal in London, then you have your patriotic glasses on. Wake up, this is dreaming.
