COOPER TEARE Did A lot of things right! How about giving the man credit where credit is due!!!

Also, he didn't kick a dog or spill a drink on his shorts.

I guess my point is he got an A+ in logistics and a c- and running! Which adds up to a solid b for his first world championships and first time at any international championship

I mean maybe he's not the greatest at the running thing but honestly I'm really confident that he will get to all of his races on time and on the correct day! He could have been wandering around Beijing completely oblivious to where the championships were being held!!!

He has been injured for several weeks. Did you not watch the interview he did after the race? Give the guy a break.

Do you know how many people are late for really important things in their life! Did you not watch for weddings and a funeral! Anyway maybe you should reread the thread because I am the only man who is celebrating the things he did right! He very easily could have went to Oregon State and been wandering around their campus looking for the championships!!!

I'll give the guy credit for winning he US championships, but, when we were all counting on him as our lone medal threat in the 1,500 at Worlds, he crapped the bed. I don't care if he was hurt. He just ran 3:39 and wasn't in the race. Sorry.

How do you get injured when you're incredibly young and this is basically your only job is to get ready for world championships

I mean how would you get injured in a sport like running it's not a contact sport and he didn't have any other big races after us trials

I mean I guess if you're really pushing your training is always the chance of injury but I'm just saying it's not like he's a sprinter I mean it's pretty weird for such a young guy to get injured between trials and championships

I don't know those other Americans look kind of speedy. That one guy snuck up on the inside kind of stealthily! There's an outside chance either of those dudes could sneak up on a metal

You obviously didn't watch his interview. He had a injury BEFORE USA's but ran anyway, but couldn't run after USA's.

Doesn't really answer my question, it just pushes it back! I mean middle distance running is probably the safest sport in the world

I could see why sprinters get injured and I can see why marathon runners get injured but for a 21-year-old middle distance runner not to be able to stay relatively healthy for the one important race of the season is kind of weird

And the fact that him and his training partner both had injuries at the most important Time of the season means something is wrong when 99% of middle distance runners can stay healthy for the big races

So what's your theory of why the two best American middle distance runners both had injuries at the most important time of the year???

You have to be a troll, because no one is that stupid.

He’s literally a weak beta in every sense of the term. I encourage mcarthur to enlist in the armed forces and live up to her forefathers name. It would be the only way to redeem this sad situation. United we stand, divided we fall.

I said I understood how you get injured in sprinting and long distance running but these are young guys who are running middle distance

I mean mo Farrah managed to stay healthy for 10 straight years of distance track running in his mid thirties.... obviously these two guys are doing something wrong when both get injured as 21-year-old middle distance runners at the most critical time of the year

I'm not saying you never would get injured as a middle distance runner I'm just saying it's kind of weird that too young American middle distance runners both got injured at the most critical time of the year when like 99% of middle distance runners managed to stay healthy for the big races

Centrowitz Jacob cheryiut.... These guys all seem to stay healthy for years at a time

If the 2 Americans reach the final they will have no chance when the big boys are going all in.

LOL yOuNg PeOpLe dOnT gEt iNjUrEd

Again it's the fact that two 21-year-old teammates who trained together both got injured at the most critical time of the year

I never said that young guys can't get injured or that middle distance runners can't get injured

but you have to be the troll or the ignorant one if you don't realize that it's statistically improbable that two young middle distance runners would get injured at the most critical time of the year

The obvious answer is that they were not really injured but were just covering for bad performances

Or they simply have bad training and aren't doing what they should be to get themselves healthy at the right time

Again there have been tons of middle distance runners who have been healthy for decades at a time

And finally yes your chance of getting injured increases as you get older and when you're 21 and a male you're pretty much at your least likely time to get injured at an event like the 1500

And further the 1500 m has to be the easiest sport in the world to maintain good health at

You look at all the professional sports and all the different distances and all the different track and field events I'd have to say the 1500 m for a man is probably one of the easiest sports to maintain health at!!!!

"Could have went?" Where did you go to school?

Funny, good work.

I think Chris Rock addressed this years ago in one of his routines where he talks about how you "don't get credit for doing what you are supposed to do."
