CENTRO IS BACK!!! Centro DOMINATES at The Track Meet

You gotta be pretty desperate to cheer on a 3:35 ...

He's miles behind (no pun intended) the best in the world. And no f...ing way they're going to make the same mistake as the 2016 finals. That disgraceful race is still to fresh in memory. It'll be fast from the start. Go Cheruiyot!

Rofl.

Can't believe scrubs like this post on LR.

Centro literally just cruised a 3:35-low. Looked back 3 times in the last 110m.

This is after running a trash 1:51 800m only several weeks ago.

His trajectory is on point. The guy may be in PR shape by the summer.

That's one of the best tactical runners in recent history being in his PR shape. As long as he's in a good spot with 250m to go, you know he is gonna throw down a hell of a good jaunt for the line.

He ran only .7 seconds faster for a PR in 2011 in MONACO and then went on to get a solid bronze at 2011 WC.

Centro haters are about to get REKT like never before when he blasts these fools. Only shot to lose USA's is if it's a super slow race and Hocker is going to sit and kick on him with 200m to go. He might have the edge on a last min fast dash.

I agree. Most of the love filled posts on this board ignore the fact that the field in this race was not world class.

Please PLEASE just use the quote function.

Please PLEASE stop pretending that Oli Hoare is a international superstar who will be in the running for a medal. He has no international experience. His 3:32i is hot HOT stuff, but an NCAA 1500m title doesn't mean you can dance on the world stage (see: Wheating).

You think?

Kiprop screwed up the 2012 finals.

Then it looked like he made the same mistake in 2016,

Athletics Kenya is pretty famous for trying to take over their athlete's training right before the Olympics and mess with their own athlete's heads.

Centro can't beat them, but they can beat themselves.

Kiprop won the 2011, 2013 and 2015 World Championships but managed to not even medal in the 2012 and 2016 Olympics.

Centro, Leo, Willis, Henrik Ingebrigtsen, Michael East, Juan Carlos Higuero and Juan Van Deventer would love to hear how effective ALL those sub 3:30 guys have faired in the past few Oly finals.

Exactly this - nobody is going to try and run retarded races like Kiprop's any more. Cheruiyot is fearless, he won't go for a sit and kick. Jakob can mess up I agree, but not to the point of losing to a 3:32 guy at best.
