EPIC Marco Langon interview after he goes for broke in NCAA men's 5000

What a weird interview

dude has some dark a$$ circles under his eyes

doubt he sleeps much

what a baller indeed

This guy's gonna be fun to watch. Not your typical distance runner personality, and not afraid to take control of a race.

If Martin Scorsese can live long enough to do the Marco Langon biopic…

Stfu

He made a move dem Kenyans could not fn refuse.

“As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to beat the Kenyans.”

*Tony Bennett tune plays as Langon watches Eliud Kipchoge win the 2012 Olympics Marathon on a TV*

In all seriousness, rooting for him. Wildly different than any other US contender at 5,000.

Complete fabrication of a personality

People are going to hate this kid but honestly have known him a lot of his life and the kid deserves everything he gets because he’s had to earn it.

Loved it, loved the race, give me Bennet with GaGa or

...Amy Winehouse.

Hard not to root for this kid!

Wait till you hear his impression of special needs runners

There are people who go through hard times and find ways of expressing their truths in ways where it does not come across as they are doing so in an effort to promote themselves and their story.

You have to be a bonehead to buy this.

“gotta provide for my mom and sister”

has $2,000 in tattoos as a college kid lol

lol my uncle does them for free.. nice try buddy.. all love

He is giving Jakob a run for worst tattoos in track.

Perhaps less F bombs will attract more NIL money🤔

Langon’s interview reminded me of Eric Holt, whose raw story-telling/self-promotion in interviews helped him to get sponsored.

My favorite part of the interview was the end when Langon 1) asked Rojo how does he not know Langon’s year in school, and 2) said he doesn’t understand why Rojo thinks it’s crazy for an American to not be getting much attention for running close to 13:10.

Those of us who are old enough to remember the dark days of American distance running in the 1990s need to realize that today’s U.S. high school and college runners have a completely different frame of reference. They are coming up in a world where an American has won 1500m gold in two out of the last three Olympics. They believe they can win too.

Have been following this guy for a few years now.

Physically the talent is there.
Sounds like he has some great mentors from HS and now College.

In the right pro environment 18ish months from now I think he could ‘make it’.

Excited to keep following along.

Jersey shore reject?
