In this race I'm all for Rupp. I don't think Mo has ever acknowledged how much Rupp probably help him win all those titles by being an elite training partner for many years....
I think that should be the other way around my friend. I don't think Rupp wins silver at 10000m, or even wins the bronze in the marathon without Mo. Mo controlled every race that he won, no matter if he was in the back or in the front, Mo controlled the tempo, and Rupp just followed along.
I still think Rupp lucked up on the silver, and he only came in 7th place in the 5000m. He couldn't hang, and Mo took gold.
Saying that Rupp helped Mo win all the those titles is just pure fandom ----I will not say idiotic, and disrespect you like most people on this site who have inferiority complexes.
Mo made Rupp. Rupp didn't make Mo.
And when i say he helped rupp win bronze at the olympics( marathon), I'm referring to pushing him in training.
