Understand this Ritz said what he said about Klecker to draw interest to On. Only time will tell but give him time...
Nope. Steve Dekoker the Sports Marketing Head at ON is the one that made these comments. The man that signed every athlete and hired Ritz.
It was in the Letsrun interview.

The amazing 0llie Hoare
Drop the mic. Good night folks
LOL...you dissed Prakel and Alexander as pseudo-elites, saying their credentials were “spin.” Do you realize Prakel, Alexander, Gregorek and Alvarado, who all ran in the USATF race today have run mile’s or 1500 equivalents as fast or faster (significantly) as Hoare today? And 3 or 4 others are close.
So according to you, Hoare just joined the ranks of pseudo-elites! Congrats!
Drop the mic and g’nite mate.

Already dodging his underling teammate. Can’t wait until he gets beaten by the Tinman sub elite scrubs they trashed in their group announcement as well. 13:28? Hunter and Parsons at a minimum are smoking him.
This might just be me, but hear me out here. Maybe Klecker ran one and Ollie another, because Klecker is an American and competed at a national championship and Ollie is an Aussie. Bold hypothesis, I know.
Y'all haters are thick as tRump's golf butt.

Spinning is trying to claim that Prakel is not elite. He is in the top 5 US milers currently. If trials were held today, I would give him a pretty good chance of being top 3.
Is there any shoe brands that are starting a training group built around Prakel? Does Prakel have final approval on who the coach will be coaching this group?
ON has created an atmosphere that will put every race that Klecker runs under a microscope. Sorry but this is there doing.
True, but that doesn't justify the "sub-elite" comment. Klecker got beat by elite runners who haven't been favored with a shoe deal. And for perspective, I believe Hoare is a better prospect than Klecker, but I also think that the mile/1500 is not Klecker's sweet spot.

Klecker potential marathoner and American, Hoare much better athlete, but less marketable. Simple.
Which share of the market does Joe Klecker have exactly?

Prakel and Alexander have shoe deals. Prakel has been running for adidas since he graduated from Oregon a few years ago and Alexander graduated from Oregon and was signed by Hoka just before the Olympic Trials in 2016 and has run for them ever since.
Hoare should be racing the 1500m in Europe

Exactly. Waste of good form.
Twice as much as Hoare.

Maybe as of six weeks ago. Perhaps not anymore.
Dream on. Hoare has not done anything unexpected.

Looking back on it this was such a weird rivalry lol
Really shows how much progress OAC has made in less than 3 years. People here were saying they were set up for disaster, and a couple years later they have half a dozen Olympians, a global gold, and a ton of national records.
