Americans, You Are a Joke

It's the Brits who are dumping on Mottram, because Baddely had a good day. Well done for Baddely. But I agree that it is ridiculous for everyone to start up with the Mottram bashing. One bad race right after flying to Europe isn't a crisis.

Hey, woah Nellie! It's just some Yanks (who probably don't have much to yank on themselves if you get my drift), so don't you go biggoting on us all for that.

Mottram runs fast.

That doesn't mean americans suck. To think the two are the same is a display of how small your whacker is.

The only country with a deeper 5k,1500,800,Marathon pool is Kenya, maybe.

So far, Australia has one man. New Zealand has one man who's been beasted by Webb. And South Africa (Ireland?) has one man who's also been beasted. And the U.K has a retired Woman.

how the **** does that make America a joke queer? That means homosexual in our language. As far as I'm concerned, Australia got LUCKY as balls to have Mottram.

We have Hall, Webb, Teg, Ritz, Lagat, Kannouchi pouchi, Rupp, Fam, Goucher (old), Symmonds, Khadevis R-R-Robinson.

We've lost a few really good guys as well, Meb, Krummenacker, Culpepper, Lincoln. Those are some quality guys right there. We also retired Kennedy a few years ago.

In our university system we have stacks of guys between 1:45-1:47, 3:37-3:42, 13:25-13:45, 28-29.

lol. Australia has one athlete. Yeah? He's really good, but just does not compare to the hordes of Americans.

we haven't even begun discussing the sprinters, or the field events.

lmao.

Australia also gets beasted in swimming by the U.S every year. Lucky for Australia they had that freak a few years back. He got bored losing to americans pretty quickly.

I understand why most of the world hates us, but whenever Australians deride us, I have to assume it's just because it's the nation-bashing that they're most likely to get away with. Australia is the one country that stands out as more crass, obnoxious, and self-centered than our own. You make ugly Americans look downright charming.

But Mottram is fast as hell. No doubt about that.

Probably. I'm just amazed at how Britons claim the very best from the colonies as their own and then deny any sort of attachment to anything bad from them.

Oh, so when you say "American," I'm assuming you refer to the inhabitants of both the entire continents of North and South America?

The facts are buddy, that unfortunately nobody gives a rats ass about athletics in NZ & Aus, and despite the fact that yanks bemaon the state of the sport in the US, it is a state that most western countries could only dream of!

Look at all the opportunity with shoe sponsorships etc, there is no way a 3.36/13.20.xx runner / borderline olympics runner would get a cent from a shoe company in NZ, but in america you can get a shoe contract and go pro. Great.

You SHOULD have "Hordes" of great runners, and frankly, considering all the resources (and overwhelming population advantage) that the US has, it is fair to say the USA grossly underperforms in middle and long distance running.

Yours Please

Your spelling and grammar are not making a good case for your nationality you dumbass. I can't tell where you come from, but I can tell you where to go. Go to hell. God bless America!

sounds like someone is angey. are you angey sizzle?

so, because the shoe corporations favor a 'good' athlete, thats an excuse not to run fast.

Well, last time I checked, the collegiate athletes aren't paid much, yet they still run faster than nearly every single brit, new ziggy, and aussie.

? sounds like an excuse to pussy out to me.

unless of course you have a different take.

New Zealand one athlete. What about Willis and Blincoe.

Australia one athlete. What about Fountain, Birmingham, Roff.

You Yank know jac-squiddle about athletics outside of USA

Sizzling, if any thing, ILP. Getting "angey" at people of your ilk would be a waste of my time and yours. Instead I choose to educate you.

Shoe contracts were one point I made. If you had made it through my post you would have read the other two key points; Resources and poplulation.

Resources:

The resources available to college athletes as far as training partners, facilities and travel expenses are fantastic! While they do not recieve cash, they have EVERYTHING covered. this is one of the great things about the system, and probably why many Kiwis and Aussies go over on scholarship. It is the closest thing many runners will come to becoming a "pro".

Population:

i love peeps, i love peeps, dear oh dear. You mention

that collegate depth is far superior to depth in NZ or Aust. Are you suprised? If you read the above paragraph this may provide you with reasons for this.

However, the most obvious reason of all is the overwhelming population difference!! USA had a population of 300 Million. NZ has a population of 4 million! Australia has a population about ~20 milltion, and while, as a kiwi it pains me to admit it, AUS perform extraordinarily well on the world stage (all sports).

While this is a simplistic interpretation, made for the less receptive audience of i love peeps and the like, based on poulation alone, the USA should have 12 times the depth of both NZ and Australia combined, and this doesn't even get started on the "Resources" section that I outlined for you ILP!

My question to ilp is this: Does the US boast the afformentioned depth?

We have Hall, Webb, Teg, Ritz, Lagat...

Yup Lagat is the all American hero. Grew up in a small town in Texas didn't he? Well done on producing that sort of talent great empire!
