I think I gave better times tham he has. Don't feel like checking again. These are decent times but we gotta be fair here. If we're gonna grill runners like Alexi Pappas constantly for having a social media presence outshine her running accomplishments we gotta do the same other runners who do the same and have even worst performances.

You’re a slower runner than Evert Silva and you’re here bashing Evert Silva on social media? How apt

I am a slower runner than him. That's the reality of it. But I'm not lying he's even less accomplished than Alexi Pappas and from what I've read he plays victim everytime people call him out. But lets focus on what this all about, we're all slower than Centro and WAYYY LESSS accomplished than him. You guys can dish it out but can't take the heat. I have an idea of how many of you would react if you were in Centro's position. Let me make it clear. I wish I had Centro's accomplishments, just like all you guys do too. Have fun being a fan of someone who can't make an worlds team. I'll be a fan of someone who has medaled at the world stage since he was 21!

the sport needs centro vs teare/hocker/christmas (just for giggles) in a mile race. ASAP.

So if you’re slower than Evert Silva and you can make fun of him, than that Kris Kringle guy is also allowed to make fun of Centro. Yes?

Centro vs. Teare and Hocker.

Christman isn't in the same ballpark.

Honestly yes. Let the crap talking begin from the fans of the big dogs, not the Instagram runners. I want to get back to reality and focus on the real professionals.

of course, but i think he deserves the spot for starting this at this point. let him rabbit

Where did I make fun of him? All I said was that he's living the narcissistic dream on social media and he has worse accomplishments than Alexi Pappas. Did I lie or insult him? Honestly people can hate on Centro, that's fine, but you have to also accept reality. He is the most accomplished American 1500m runner and he has the most right to be cocky because he can back it up. If you go back to my posts I even agree with you guys that Centro was insecure and his actions were in bad taste. But we all have to agree, almost all of us on this site or on those high school girl instagram chats are not as accomplished as he is. Andrew Wheating was a 3:30 runner and he disappeared. What Centro did is very hard to do and hasn't beem done in a century. Hate all you want but Give credit where it due to the big dogs please.

Ya vete a dormir Evert

I was never taking credit from Centro

These guys are not in the same ballpark as Centro and most likely will never be.

Running a fast 1500m in perfect conditions is not the same as being a master tactician and beating a slew of heavy hitters in a tactical olympic final.

Also Teare talks like a goofball, and all his instagram posts are lame. Like repeating the same pop culture phrases like "black on black on black"... lol gtfo. He's still a little kid.

Watch that 2016 final again and you know that Centro instantly cemented legend status in that race.

That's Perfect. Then we can both agree that Centro is the most accomplished runner in American history. Was his actions in bad taste? Yes? Does he at least have the hardware to back it up? Yes. Let's leave it at that.

I got the hardware to back up your mom

these kids ran 3:50 just a few days ago and people are already calling their careers over.

the fact ANDREW fking WHEATING was used as an example to suggest that teare and hocker might not do anything in their careers is really telling how terrified people here are of a world class miler who is obnoxious on instagram.

the era of "shut up and run" is coming to an end folks. if not teare and hocker, it will be someone else.

how cool would it be if whoever teare's pro coach is lets him continue posting all of his workouts to strava?

There’s no such thing as being accomplished enough to not get called out for being a jackass to a nobody. If Mike Trout went at some lowly college player for his batting average he would be ridiculed for it, and rightly so.

Oh get real most of the comments are referring to the instagram runners. Especially the Christmas guy and Evert Saliva. Not that many people are really saying that Teare and Hocker will not make it. Yes there will be someone who comes up and becomes the next great American miler. But the one who is actually the #1 1500m runner in history is Centro. 3:30pr and olympic gold, world indoor gold, WC silver and bronze. This is very hard to do. There's a reason no other American male runner has all these medals.

Look at the last two pages. It's about Evert Saliva and Christmas is thrown in there also. I can bring it up if you want. People are giving credit to the superior runners.

Alexi is another owner of the Pipedream King.

She may be a lot of things but she is also the most accomplished of her weird gorgy U of O bunch.

It's true.

Nobody really doubts the capabilities of Teare, Hocker, and possibly even Silva.

Carter Christman started this whole thing because he apparently needed attention by using Hocker.

Then, the fallout against Centro for his response garnered the comments.

But the real problem was Christman here. That's why.
