GRANT MF FISHER MEDALS

How about this let's broker a fair deal that we can both accept.

Fisher was honest at the US 10k trials then slipped into dishonesty for the 5k trials the following weekend and maintained this dishonesty in the Paris Olympic 10k final.

In this way you are right he was honest in space and time and I'm also right that he is dishonest in space and time right????

Don't feed the squirrels. He needs someone to engage him. F@ck him. Move on.

No you can look that up. Frustrating is showing the first 3 laps followed by a million commercials then showing the final 50 meters.

And Khamis is allowed to post here why?

Congrats to Fisher, stunning run, to lose silver by hundreths of a second.

Nico ran balls out and deserves major kudos as well. guts tough run. He reminds me of Pat Porter.

Great running so many of the athletes. Mad respect for Gressier as well.

Are you a guy who doesn't have real girls talk to him? All this anger just lives rent-free in your head. But you do you boo.

Kind of ironic that the guys that supposedly have no kick, Aregawi and Fisher, both had tremendous kicks.

I just hate the way Fisher runs. He's super tight on the rail. He creeps up and overlaps runners that are in a normal position relative to the rail, which causes a tripping risk. It's boring and there are no moves or strategy except "tuck in as tight as possible on the rail until 120 to go." But hey, he got the bronze 🤷‍♂️ - would have preferred an Ethiopian sweep (better runners and more interesting tactics).

Aregawi

I don't accept your deal. Everything you have said, you don't "know." you might believe it, but that doesn't make it true. And even if it is true, it'll catch up to him and he'll be another Marion Jones. My encouragement to you is to enjoy it. you have no knowledge. don't assume you're smarter than the whole room. Cheers!

hmm, more interesting tactics? The goal is to win a medal. The Ethiopians aren't better runners, or more than one of them would have a medal. Tactics are good if they work, and they didn't work this time. The rest of the world is better and the team running didn't drop the contenders.

I agree that no one wants a boring race, but settling back and being smart and not responding to every move? That's smart running in a championship final.

The kenyan supporters are going to very unhappy with today's results.

Damn I almost cried watching Fisher

I have to say… I got choked up.

46 years of watching this sport and that race got to me.
amazing

It was good, but really?!

how old are you?

placing 3 in the top 7 is about as impressive of a performance as you can get under most circumstances. if all three get shut out of the medals, that's when you start to criticize

Hey, was that John Anderson from espn during the 10k today?

But it was NBC? Didn’t know he could cross over

I like Fisher and congrats to him. That was a great run - these were Africans he beat, people!

That said, I too find his racing style unentertaining, and while his tactics may work up to national level, I can with confidence predict he'll never win anything at global. He has no explosive kick, so there always be "Aregawi's" to dust him in the last 100.

yeah, but Rupp is not as likeable.

He's uglier, he never participated that much on his school team for the first couple years, he had an odd coaching arrangement with salazar, worse name, also Rupp had a teammate in the race. Rupp trained with Farrah, No one in the top 10 was a training partner of Fischer so he went it alone

.... and how Rojo ever thought GF would win is a headscratcher. At no point did that ever look on the cards.

Yeah, but a medal at the olympics is enough to call him an American legend. He won an NCAA title, two high school xc titles (while being a miler), and a couple american titles.

there'll always be someone better, no one's gonna win every time when they go out.

I'd trade an olympic bronze for an indoor or world gold anyways. He's certainly been capable of winning and now's not the time to rain on his parade
