Official 2013 Saturday Pre Classic Thread

Symmonds over Solomon though, apparently Duane tried to sit back this time, and times were slower across the board as a result.

Ritz will be luck to qualify for worlds.

He's certainly not a lock, but I don't know that he'd be lucky to qualify. What 3 Americans are that far ahead of him in the 10k?

"love how they had no idea who Soi was and were shocked that he won...and then they interview Farah?? but ask a bunch of questions about Rupp??? i hate NBC"

+1

So 5k guys close in 53 & 800m guys close in 55?

LOL, apparently no one notified the 800 pacer that Rudisha isn't running...

Don't Blame Scherer. He was hired to go out in 50 and that's what he hit. Others have gone out that fast in the past. Everyone else was just slow like in a number of the other events today.

Elfie rupp? Whah, whah! Crybaby oregon. Dosage must be off today.

With all that talk about who's going to be the next American sub-13, Chris Derrick certainly looked today like it's going to be him.

waaay too many people in the 1500

Geez, slow down, pacers!!!

Seriously though, when the pacers do that, no one goes with them, and then it just turns into a slow race.

come on centro! move it up

Nobody going with the pacemakers today. Makhloufi will love this, if he can get to the front.

KIPLAGAT

Silas!

Surprised Kiprop I'm sure.

Kiplagat, the MAN!!!

Derrick, Rupp, True

You're right it wouldn't be luck. It is unlikely he will get top 3 in Moscow.

Silas, how did it feel in that final charge coming back, when it seemed like Silas Kiplagat [instead of you, Silas Kiplagat] was about to take it?

Idiots.

lewis just asked kiplagat how it felt to kick down kiplagat.

they should just play yakety sax in the background whenever the nbc guys (other than ato) start talking, it's comedy gold.

CENTROWITZ Matthew USA 3:57.44

From the start list Centro's Mile PR was only 3:57.

Now he is 3:51.45. Obviously he has run faster = in the 1,500m Run. But I am surprised he hasn't run many Mile Invites as a Pro before today.
