ah haha, i was about to search for this very thread. Flagpole, comments on the "wuss" and the way he raced? It sure looks like he'll never be competitive on the international level to me.

The plain-spoken Hall earned the respect of his competitors who were very surprised to see him in the lead pack. One athlete, who preferred not to be identified, commented: "That guy has balls, man.""
That's weird. A an athlete who actually saw him race says Ryan Hall has balls while Flagpole says he's a wuss... who to believe I wonder?
Gotta bring back this thread just for fun... Here's a quote from good ole' flagpole...

I now no longer believe he has an chance of mixing it up with best in the world. Kind of ashamed of myself for entertaining it for a while there. Hall will continue to show brilliance on ocassion (when not pressed and when no high expectations are placed on him), but he's not got the heart of a champion.
Bump this up to the top. You can hear the truth about Flagpole in what he says about others.
bump
Flagpole gets off making people bump threads because of absurd things he says.
I love that comment about Hall. So succinct, so direct. I can't understand why it isn't quote of the day--well, I guess I can, seeing as it was Lel who won the race... but still....
