Stockholm 5000m thread.

That was weird with Rupp. One second hes just behind the lead pack, quick switch to javelin, and hes gone. Wonder why he dropped out.

That's what he gets for trying to compete in the 5k and javelin at the same time.

just watched the last lap video. Where were Solinsky's socks?

So according to a previous poster he got tripped up and fell. At least one person fell in the men's 800m and the women's 1500m. And Rupp wasn't the only one to fall in the 5000m. I'm tellin' ya'll. The stockholm meet had some kind of curse tonight. All kinds of weird upsets and performances. Rupp just got shorted, man. He would have run 12:58 for sure other wise.

Leave Rupp alone, Saladbar probably told him to drop out. Everyone has a bad race, and I'd rather drop out of a diamond league meet than win any of your local turkey trot 10Ks...

Once again, there is WAAAY too much Rupp crap on this website. He simply doesn't have the same talent that Solinsky does, and that's who Americans here SHOULD be talking about.

So, who's going to blame Solinsky for "stepping in front of" Rupp?

Humm, Chris lives, trains and shares the same Nike track and facility in Oregon as Galen Rupp, Ritz, Webb, Teg and a few other runners ...,stop ripping Oregon - if you build it they will come.

Mike Eps ... try going to a African based running website if you want the African results posted first....... but they won't have them posted till next week.

But if you insist on going to an American based website then maybe you'll have to take the American based interest into account.

Why not call it a white website? There is plenty of interest in Gregson, Cragg, Mottram et al

Why does it have to be a white website only? Why not a majority of white distance runner website?

Listen if you go to Oakland, CA your not going to see a ton of white people peddling drugs, but that doesn't mean it's only limited to blacks. But for obvious reasons the majority of the activity has the interest of blacks.

Same thing if you pop in to Churches chicken. In fact I dare you to pop in there and say "Ohh golly gee wiz, what the hell, why don't we call this a black only restaurant?" See if you come out walking with your PC self.

Thanks for the update Mr. frank. Any more details about what happened?

Just that he fell hard; was almost certainly going to be under 13:00... Soon after the race he was ok, able to do a little workout.

You admit that you are slower so you must not be man enough to represent, Rupp will be back.

Damn, three guys ahead of Solinksy with PB's. What a run!

Yeah, wow, Solinsky got crushed in the last 200. Great to see him up there that late though, he raced well.

Gotta love it when a bunch of pissants mouth off when something bad happens to somebody and then look like idiots when they find out the whole story.

Way to go jackasses!

Post of the day! Alert the brojos!

ramxc...thanks for the update on Rupp! He sure did look good out there, to bad that to happen, he was right there.

Great race by Chris to, he seemed to be itching several times during the race to go up front, I guest with this found ability to run with Africans it can be confusing how to race them?...BUT IT WAS EXCITING TO SEE GALEN AND CHRIS WITH THE LEADER

>>>WOW!...four great races for Chris this year is amazing!

Just heard that Rupp fell inside 1km to go... He's fine. I'm sure he appreciates all of your support.

Thought that was strange he was going well seemed to be moving through then one throw of the javelin and he disappeared

That sucks for Rupp, but another great race for Solinsky.

Coach D always looks like an idiot, not just today.

Typical prissy boy Rupp. Bitches out when the going gets tough, can not compete at the highest level, can only beat up on college kids years younger than him. He sucks and is an embarassment to America. And btw no I am not faster than him but I would rather have someone slower but more of a real man represent America.[/quote]

Hey kid, your middle school starts classes next week. Time to log off and head to Wal-Mart w/ mommy to pick out your new backpack and notebooks and crayons.
