And the question is 2016 Rupp vs 2008 Hall. Rupp wins his first marathon and gets 3rd in the olympics in the marathon and 5th in the 10k.
Hall on the other hand wins over a mediocre trials field and finishes 10th at the olympics.
Which is a better result...third at the olympics or tenth? Which field was deeper in the Olympic marathon 2008 or 2016? In the trials? The answer is clear as day
Again, you have listed two races on here that are not relevant to this thread.
