Be truthful. The disappointment stems from the fact that an African woman just la it d down a mark that only a handful of American men can run. If she jumped up to a marathon, based on today's result, she could make our mens Olympic squad and possibly be ranked #1 except for Galen Rupp.
Dope. Super shoes. Whatever excuse you want to throw at her. American (European also) long distance running needs to undergo a wholesale change of training methodology and risk taking if it ever wants to sniff at being competitive again. Performances like this are a wakeup call or proof that we are less than exceptional in this endeavor.
Amen.
