LRC update: We spoke to Centrowitz's agent Ricky Simms on Friday, who told us Centro injured his hamstring three days before the Prefontaine Classic and the injury would not allow him to compete at the Trials.
May have flown a little too close to the sun trying to get fit - guy has had an incredible career and will always be known as a master tactician and someone at the top of the world for an extremely long time - Olympic champ, 4th in 2012, 2x outdoor medalist, completely dominant at USAs, world indoor champ - will always be a total legend, regardless of what he does from here - his masterclass in Rio will go down as one of the gutsiest and best run races of all time
Ribich just posted to his Instagram story. No Trials. Final decisions were made Wednesday during the "seeding meeting". I wish he could've gotten a shot to compete in front of his home crowd.
The truth gets downvoted here more than anything else.
But I'll win for most downvoted on this thread for saying back in early May that it was 50/50 he'd even make the trials final.
I think you get downvotes because you're a right-wing, anti-vax, tinfoil hat-wearing moron who spams the board with your conspiracy and m*ga-worshipping nonsense. Let's just say that it colors reactions even to your running-related posts.
Sticks and stones, hard guy. When you don't have truth all you have are insults.
2 golds (incl. indoor), 2 other world medals, 5 overall top 4 finishes in World/OG competition. Can any American distance runner top that stretch of excellence?

Man, I hate PJ
Man, re-watching the 2021 trials this morning and seeing Ribich in the FINAL is like watching ancient history compared to the US 1500m scene currently.
You realize you just libeled him. He could sue you for damages for such a lie.
Right after you go to jail for practising law without a license, Slick!
My statement is not practicing law nitwit! And I actually do have a a law license. Been licensed since 1998. So zip it and walk away because you are ignorant.
Libel is the publication of false statements that damage someone's reputation. You'll also see it referred to as defamation. An opinion is not libel. Libel refers to specific facts that can be proved untrue.

In the twilight of glory, where champions stand tall, He faced the arena, heeded destiny's call. A golden past glittered in the light of the flame, But fate played its hand in a cruel, silent game.
Three times a hero, crowned in victory's glow, With dreams of a fourth, through the trials he'd go. But as seasons wane, so do dreams sometimes bend, In the echo of triumph, an unexpected end.
His body, once chiseled by relentless desire, Now whispers of battles that dimmed its fierce fire. An injury struck, with a sorrowful sting, Grounding the hero, clipping the wing.
No more the cheers from the roaring crowd, No more the anthem, no more the proud. He watches the torch as it passes him by, A tear in his eye, a silent goodbye.
But medals and honors, they tarnish with time, It's the spirit of valor that forever will shine. In the heart of each athlete, his story remains, Of courage and grace in the face of his pain.
For in the grand tapestry of sporting delight, Even the shadows can shine with their light. He bows out not beaten, but brave to the end, An Olympic gold medalist, a champion, a friend.
No question about it - the greatest American distance runner of all time. Olympic 1500 Champ. Could you imagine what his international resume would look like without dopers?
2011 - 3rd place and Asbel Kiprop won that race...
2012 - 4th place and Taoufik Makhloufi won that race...
Do we count year-round sprinters and throwers as part of the XC team?
Technically, their fall sport is XC, but they just use it as more offseason building.
If not, schools got it covered easily.
XC team will sweep 4x8, 8, 16, 32, and 4x4, but rest of school got 4, 2, 1, 4x1, and all throws/jumps besides pole vault cuz that's the type of random thing some JV XC kid would know how to do.

Oh, you're serious...? Or just dragging it out. Seeing as it was posted with the username tin foil hat crew on a messageboard and presented as a theory and not a fact, I think he's safe.
