Who Is Your Favorite Current Runner?

I wanted to reiterate my Nuguse fan status. He is just so chill. I love that in an elite athlete. He is the exact opposite of a prick like Lance Armstrong.

saw met coghlan,quax, dixon,viren,boit,sal, coe, foster, cova,

John Walker of New Zealand stood out by far as the grandest and charitable athlete.

Today, far and away it is Jacob, based on his performances, sharing, interviews, challenges overcome, and general sanity, though I don't believe anyone is really that sane.

Nuguse gets mention for being a silent killer, take a look at the guys face in the home stretch.

My son is my favorite runner!

Mo Farah - he randomly ran a 3:28 in the 1500m. the reason he wins gold in the 5000/10000 is for the same reason that jakob wins gold in the 5000.

Centro - i respect centro for his 1500m performance in 2016 Olympic race. he was not the fastest 1500m runner in that race, but he hid away his weakness in that race and got the job done

Jakob - he won the 1500m at the tokyo olympics and was so terrifying at the 5000m that the world record holder dipped because he knew he had no chance.

My favorite current runner is Keely. nuff said

Men: Jakob Ingebrigsten.

Women: Sifan Hassan.

I like both because they're pushing the limits.

Sifan with the Olympic triples in Tokyo and Paris is insane. She's run 1:56 800m and 2:13:44 marathon. Her range is insane. She's tough and fearless. She's redefining what's possible. She's just so fun and exciting to watch.

Jakob took down Daniel Komen's 2-mile record that many thought would stand forever. He unbeatable at 5k even if he prefers the 1500m. He's run 3:26. And we forget, he's still so young! He won gold in Tokyo before he was even old enough to drink. He's still improving. He's still only 23 years old, but it feels like he's been around forever. He's a very special athlete and going to do some amazing stuff. I'm just looking forward to seeing what more he has in store for us.

For distance: Grant Fisher; broke 4 while I was in high school. Showed crazy range by choosing his own path into 5/10K and respect the ballsy coaching move

sprints: Tebogo; I genuinely can’t think of a ceiling for this guy. Crazy range. Also entertaining the way Lyles wants to be without trying

mid-d: tough to pick but I’ll go Kessler. Also has crazy range, and it’s cool seeing someone with so much raw talent be such a student and make mistakes. Insane to think he’s popped a 1:43 and a 3:29 at 21 and a few months ago he was getting tan off the track. Hopefully will be an outdoor medalist one day across both events and cement himself as an all time great

surprised it took so long for clayton mf young. that low five with mantz was one of my moments of the games.

loved that youtube series - genre defining!!

Letsile Tebogo. Hard to beat a guy doing it for his mom.
