21 year olds are adults

Can we talk about how Centro portrays himself on a pedestal compared to these college kids, all in part because of his gold medal. But if you're gonna flex your gold medal so hard, WHY ARE YOU RUNNING IN THE B HEAT OF A 5K?

Let's be serious, he may have beaten Hocker (after Hocker did all the work), but he should've been in the A heat if he wanted to live up to the figure he tries to flex on these college kids. That meet was set up for guys to run fast times, and I'd say it's pretty soft for a 1500m Olympic gold medalist to be in a B heat of a 5k that is mainly made up of U.S. runners. Also, Cooper ran way faster that day and come the trials, I see no reason why Teare and Hocker couldn't finish ahead of Centro/Ciliantro. I'm not saying they make the team(I give them each a <10% chance), but Centro needs to come to the fact that he is not the same runner he was in 2016.

Hey I'm just quoting Cooper in the comment section

You guys realize Centro is past his prime, right? He can stay in B Heats and still take home his $250k/year base salary in addition to his appearance fees and motivational speaking.

Y'all are just pretenders to the throne. He'll keep that Gold and title for life. To be the BEST on the PLANET on that given day is studly.

@carter_christman never heard of you pal so I had to look you up. Imagine a walk on with a 4:14 mile PR talking sh** to the reigning Olympic champ lol. I don’t need to move. I already have the Olympic standard and more importantly the hardware. Go back to pacing your teammates

@eclay44 copper and Cole rolled the f out. Instead of giving them props we got @carter_christman calling me out. For what? I’d love to build these young guys up but they just come off straight disrespectful. I wasn’t talking sh** on podcasts about guys before me like Galen. I medaled at worlds when I was 21 and still respected the guys that came before me. Coopers best finish at NCAA’s is 6th? And he taking shots at former coaches and me like he’s arrived. Love to root for my alma mater but some of these guys making it hard. Much respect to Cole though. Major talent who seems to rep U of O well

@footballcar.as Centro is the reigning olympic champ and in the discussion for the greatest american miler of all time. If he never ran sub 3:40 again, he'd still be a better runner than Teare probably ever will. Teare has no business trashing on other runners. There is no reason for that disrespect. I've only ever heard bad things about Teare as a person. As far as I know, Cole is legit though. Seems like he knows how to respect people off the track.

Who cares? Centro is 31 and this guy is 20. They are both within the same age division. I could understand a 41 year old Centro saying this crap but this is literally like a 90 year old talking crap on a 79 year old.

That's nice. No really. That's really such a cool story. Is there anything else that anyone would like to say in this thread?

Cool so Centro is so cool and this guy isn't because he doesn't have experience or something? Wow. So amazing.

LOL...there is not a single distance runner who is alpha.

Centro ran 13:00 for 5,000m in, I believe, 2020 and, in a championship race, 3:32 for 1500m in 2019. It's now early 2021. If he is past his prime, he is not long past.

In defense of Centro, so many college kids these days, including Teare and apparently Hocker and their fanbois like Silva, are super annoying. They imitate the language of poor blacks constantly—are suburban white kids like these Oregon boys talking about “dis” and “dat” racists or anti-racists? Hard to keep up these days.
In any case, in addition to the atrocious language, they also seem to have adopted the culture of starting “beef” and tearing each other down instead of building each other up.
Sad state of affairs all around.
