How sad for you that you have to pretend you're so jaded that making the Olympic team and representing your country doesn't matter.
Sure it's cool for Teg and Ritz. I am happy for Ritz since he missed the marathon team. I was trying to reply to the guy that said great team.
Weird to see Shalane so far back in the pack. Haha.
Bro! worst timing ever
Ritz is ALL upside on the track for London. We all remember Athens...he must be incredibly happy right now.
A worthy group for London. That is the team that has earned it over the last four years. Congratulations to the guys who have raised the running bar so much higher for the next group to follow.
How does this position Derrick relative to Rupp at a similar age? Can Derrick be the next Rupp in 2016?

that was a good comment about derrick having a hard time beating the 3 best american born 5,000 meter runners ever. american distance running is in a good place.
Um, ever heard of Chris Solinsky?
Tv coverage is quite good. Thanks NBC!

ritz was spent at the end ... not a good sign.
What a moronic thing to say. Not a good sign of what? How many people (other than Rupp)look relaxed while qualifying for the Olympic Games? Of course he was spent! He just ran a 27:36 negative split. Negative split!
Man, some of you are just SO stupid.
Lets get some Women updates!

4 laps in 5:09. Just off A standard pace. Shalane moves to the lead, perhaps to SLOW down the pace and make sure no one runs the A standard so Lisa gets in. Or to pick it up...if it weren't a commercial I would know.

Jumping ahead to the women's race, Shalane Flanagan has a shiny forehead.
NBC interview quote of 10k female... "i dont go to war for my country, but i what i can contribute is representing my country..."
people really still think going to "war" for your country is normal or a commendable endeavor...
Full screen. aaaaahhhh where was this link 30 minutes ago!

Natosha Rogers, NCAA champ, FELL right after NBC cut away (figures), and Rogers is back into 3rd after sprinting 300 meters. Amateur mistake..she will pay for it.

What is she doing?
Would be awesome if she makes the team though.
Wow! Have 11 Americans ever broken 28 in the same race before?
