Isai Rodriguez and Sam Chelanga win 10,000m gold & silver 2023 Pan American Games

The kid lapping me in good ole nike frees has a PanAm gold!! Let's go Isai!!!

I'm so glad he won!

Men's 10,000 meter dash Final | Pan American Games Santiago Chile 2023

It looks like a pretty good crowd.

Pan AM games are no joke. Huge event. Im surprised Cam didnt run the marathon there

Isai RODRIGUEZ 28:17.84

Honestly he might be able to cut that to a 27:59 in perfect conditions and make the USA team. The standard will be an issue for a lot of Americans in the 10K.

Woody, Grant, Chelimo, McGorty, and Klecker are so fiercely competitive, so consistent and so at the top of their game, that he has a more realistic chance at the marathon trials.

Sounds like someone's scared. Are you Woody?

This is huge! Go Isai, keep it up!

i can’t wait for Isai to run a half,

dude really knows how to hurt

Anyway, he tried very hard.

The two of them go head to head again in the Manchester Road Race, Thanksgiving morning.

US Press access is impossible to the developing world of Latin America. Africa, Asia, etc. It used to be impossible to obtain press authorizations to Easten Europe but it's streamlined in the past 10 years. Only the Good Old Boys, Wire Services, and Associated Press were granted credentials to the 2023 Pan Am Games.

Isai took it out early.

Is he a pro now?

for T&F pros the Bank of Mommy and Daddy have to pay the bills

In poor countries they only have old DSLRs and old lenses.

Photographers have to be press with decades of wars, prison riots, fentanyl busts, assassinations, and so on to be approved by the the federal government and/or national police chief.

Sports events by law can only allow government approved press members.

No social media influencers or shoe companies ever get access.

I saw a video clip of the end of the men's Manchester race on Instagram, and Isai was in a Puma kit. I went to his IG page, and he hasn't made any official announcements or tagged a sponsor yet. However, if you go to his tagged photos tab, he's tagged in a post by @enarc39 regarding some Puma Elite guys doing wear testing. Sounds like a Puma announcement is forthcoming.
