Grant MF Fisher 7:25!!!

0 World and Olympic medals. Surely there must have been better American distance runners out there

Not sure about that. Someone name Nuguse might be a better runner - would love to see him in a 3000m.

Drop any other American medallists in this era and they wouldn't crack the top 8 (ok maybe except for Lagat)

The US has serious medal threats in Fisher and Nuguse now. Really exciting heading into the Olympics next year and LA 2028.

7:25 is crazy because even in the beginning of the season he didn't look close to as good as he was last year. I wanna see Fisher vs Nuguse in a 3k this indoor season.

Funny he disappears with an “injury” during worlds and usa’s but now is back it going faster than ever. Surely nothing nefarious going on.

But the attempt at the inside pass nearly took him and others out......

For sure the fastest American distance runner ever.

3000 - 7:25

5000 - 12:46

10,000 - 26:33

Unfortunately, he is running in one of the most competitive distance running eras in history.

And a norwegian guy 3 years younger is always stealing the spotlight.

Is it a Canadian record?

That’s because he isn’t doing Jerry’s training any more

yes he is lol

Recent Canadian record broken twice by Kieran Lumb, with the most recent being 7:36.46. Grant is at least an honorary Canadian, and it would be cool to get the extra 10+ second drop, but that is not how it works.

Fisher is awesome and in the mix at the highest level.

Medals are tough to get he will get some I am sure

Did you forget that an American ran 3:43.97 IN THE MILE yesterday????

Mile-3k can be considered middle distance. Yared has established himself probably as potentially the greatest us middle distance runner of all time (still has to medal).

Grant on the other hand has established himself as potentially the greatest us distance runner of all time (PR’s speak for himself 3k-10k, but still has to medal).

C’mon guys, we’re on the same team here. Maybe “specifics” will clear up the banter.

There’s a huge difference between a miler and a 10k guy, (with the exception of POTENTIALLY jakob)

Give them the same shoes/conditions, they would be right there.

He didn’t disappear. He raced and had a stress reaction in his femur. The amount of fitness he maintained cross training shows how dedicated this dude is. A few tactical errors in 2022 at worlds cost him a medal. I have no doubt this dude is clean, hard working, focused, and will medal in 2024 and 2025.

Maybe Galen. Nobody else would come close. Fisher is a special talent.

Ryun + bouncing shoes + modern track +modern doping = 3:24

Important to remember that “faster” does not always = “greater”. In terms of times, yes of course. In terms of accomplishments and racing legacy? Not yet comparable to a host of American runners that have come before him.
