It has been mentioned but BUST is much more likely than podium for our fearless threesome.

People frown on dopers. Shelby was a doper too.

True, but between the 5k and 10k I believe there will be something

Are you saying all three Americans, the NAU grad (Grijalva) and the Canadian (Mo Ahmed) are all dopers? Does that mean, in your view, that EVERYONE must be doping? If so, how can you stand to watch this sport?
I don't believe everyone who runs sub-13 is dirty. I just don't believe that. I have known two people (personal friends) who ran in the 13:30s clean, so I suspect that if they can do that, some humans somewhere on the planet can run 40 seconds faster. Don't you think?

It will be a great day when three American men go 1-2-3 in an international field. Times are useless with the pogo shoes and Star Trek tracks.

Lol. Embarrassing. Times are useless because the Americans are now 20 seconds faster and the e Africans are now 20 seconds faster due to shoes and track with the Africans now running 12:30s normally. Oh wait!?! You mean they're not doing that? What?!? Can you say derr derrrrrr, Dumpety derrr. Is it that you just can't stand these Americans are at the same level as the e Africans?

Ok e Africans are not regularly running 12:30s. A few maybe but not regularly or consistently. In that race the top Americans where less than 10s from first place. It could have been anyone from that top packs win. I get that they didn't but the gap isn't that big anymore. The current world record holder certainly didn't run 12:30...

13:00 is about the same as 13:10-12 pre-supershoes. Sub 13 simply isn't as exciting as it was back when Ritz did it.
