I'd love to meet him in person, maybe I'll attend.
Thanks,

I saw Galen Rupp one time. I didn’t talk to him because I was looking for my friend that coaches another team. So I walked past him. I did find my friend though. It was good to see him after a long while.

😂
Look - I'm sure that Rupp is a great guy. And his running accomplishments - Wow!!
I don't even know what his sponsorship situation is these days.
But can you imagine being a fly on the wall during sponsorship negotiations with Rupp?
"So, Galen...what kind of social media outreach / presence do you envision?"
"Huh?"
"Erm....."
Can anyone link me an athlete in any sport, who is obviously well sponsored, and has achieved national / international prominence, who is so underground / absent from from any kind of updates for months on end?
This hip surgery / comeback thing could have been a STORY.
I know some replies will be "That's his way. Screw you."
But this is PROFESSIONAL SPORT ffs. PEOPLE ARE GETTING PAID.

I dunno. This sport is lost.
And the amount of downvotes I'm getting proves it! 😂

He's a legend for not having social media.
Compare him to the other social media "influencer" whose name pops up here daily.
He's smart for not having it and isn't an attention whore.

Hmmm.
You know, Trump (who I think you are referring to) would be NOTHING without all that media, right?
In the media that Rupp has done over the years, I've always found him to be extremely well-spoken and thoughtful. It's not like he's a hermit, though. See below for a 38-minute interview he did with Citius in the last year.

I’m not downvoting because you are wrong on the principle. I’m downvoting because you are wrong on the specifics. Rupp is retired—why would he be trying to generate a story about his injured hip? If he wants his life to be more private, what’s wrong with that? He’s a great commentator and that’s his current professional focus, not his running.
