Uh oh. That fake American Meb is going to be pissed he's being pushed out of the us marathon spotlight

Fake News.

Hopefully Galen Rupp finally gets some respect on LetsRun. I've never understood LetsRun Americans hate for arguably their best runner ever. He's been nothing but nice under the circumstances.

Hasay DID NOT drop out

Maybe my stream is delayed or something but Hasay is still going as of 2:15:30.

Hasay is still running and running well. Idiots.

I thought you idiots said Hasay was out?

He is a World Major Marathon CHAMPION. Marathons are like XC, times don't mean sh*t. Just win baby.

Rupp has now run 4 marathons around 2:10 pace or slower. Rupp is clearly a 2:10 guy.

HASAY STILL IN

2:20-mid pace with 1.5mi to go.

Has AU still in 3rd at 40k just over 2:21 pace

Dibaba chick is fierce. What a stride.

Now back to the main race woohoo.

Hasay did not drop out

Awesomeness....

I hope Rupp's fresh smile and relaxed demeanor and Alberto's emotion to this massive win in a non-setup race all dig right into the Rupp haters paper-thin sensibilities. It must be strange to hate an American runner so much.

Well done Galen.

She's still on 2:21 pace, looking smooth!

Cue d!psh!ts who will keep saying that Rupp is just a 2:09 guy.

Is that not true?

2:21:14 would be 2nd fastest American all time

Is that the guy who poked the bear in the trials before the bear stared him down and dropped him?
