rojo, you say Kirui in the section header on the preview page, but the text is about Korir (then the next section about Wesley Korir).

Kirui =/= Korir, right? This is an honest question, I find Kenyan names confusing.

[

Yes, Kirui =/= Korir in that article

The Korir is either a typo or part of his naming structure that isn't completely clear.

1st Oly Trial, 3rd Oly Games 2nd Boston - yeah you are right guy has nothing going on.

Rupp is a great runner. His problem is that he is one of the least likable great runners and he is coached by someone equally unlikable. So people try to minimize great performances like today's.

This are strange things to say about Galen an Alberto.

Galen just gave a great interview on camera. Americas best distance runner, coached by one of the best coaches in the world.

Rupp got Silver at the Olympics in the 10k, in 2012!!!

Thanks a million!

And thank you all for your comments here, I had a tremendous time.

He got silver in the 10,000m in London 2012.

The Japanese runs for NOP too, you know.

Anyways, you're dumb.

Still no Emmanuel Mutai...

Looks like he called it a day after 40k to avoid having a crap time on his record but that's also preventing him from completing the 8 "Worlds" (6+2).

Oops, hadn't refreshed, so 02:19:33 in the end, 16' more than in Berlin 2014 !

Meb is shaking hands with everyone. I think the Chinese treadmill guy is next.

TREADMILL GUY IS STILL IN IT! NO DNF YET...

Jordan Hasay ran a 2 minute negative split in her first marathon. On a course with a hilly second half. That is legit!!!

This is the biggest shock of the day, but true. Rupp came off totally likeable , not forced, was engaging, humble, cool, nice, not a complete boring doofus.

The new Rupp?

They are interviewing the treadmill guy!

WHAT IS HE SAYING??!! You are telling me no posters on LRC have a friend who can translate Chinese?

Very disappointing.

Was Hasay's time fastest American debut?

Huddle v. Hasay - want to see that
