Wonder what’s up with Nico, any word on an injury?
Adidas athlete getting used in a Nike group. This is getting embarrassing for a guy of his talent. I never thought I would say this, but time for a change!
under Smith he's made an Olympic team, World team, and World Cross team. he's won a Diamond league, Grand Slam, and broken records. you're right, what an embarrassment.
Ishmael Kipkurui 5th behind the big boys. He would have absolutely crushed the 2025 NCAA XC championships
Probably would expect him to beat Habtom by 5–10s. NCAA guys (Musau/Kipchoge) could’ve been an upgrade on Kenya’s 4th maybe? Hard to say. Kipkurui will be a tough competitor for 10K medals through LA for the USAs 3.

It does make you wonder if Parker didn't get injured and Grant Fisher would have run what the outcome could've been...kinda two off races back to back for Nico Young (late season or not, it was the same length season for every athlete).
Woulda shoulda coulda.
What if Grant F was as interested in racing the best as he was in chasing paydays at GST jogfests?
What if Nico Y’s WXC performance equaled the hype?
You think Kenya, Ethiopia and Ugandan analysts don’t have these conversations about their teams?
Somebody complained about driving to the course this morning. That was a piece of cake compared to trying to leave now. I’ve been sitting in the parking lot, literally not moving at all, for 40 minutes. Just saw the BroJos and JG and they’re trying to figure out how to leave.
Re Nico, I feel like everyone is forgetting that cross country is somewhat a different sport. Which I think makes it even more exciting- you don’t always know how things are going to pan out. I agree that I was expecting more out of Nico today, but it still was a decent result. He might just be better suited for the track, he’s clearly been focusing the past couple years on speed so who knows how strength-based his training is at this point. Let’s hold judgement until the track season.

They better be at the meetup by 3!!
Maybe they’ll make it but I wouldn’t be expecting a live show anytime soon.
