re: Vipam

Why is the Men's 400mH left out the good? James Carter can't do much better than first place.

re: trackhead

I follow this sport pretty closely, and I have to admit, I had never before even heard of Boleta Asmerom

re: Mr Fabulous

Lassiter is in big trouble for pace setting the 1500M. He finished in 4:05 for crying out loud. I\'m almost 40 and wouldn\'t of been far behind him and he\'s the best we\'ve got at 1500M. A real disgrace.......

re: doc

Asmeron is a Cal Berkeley grad who runs for the Farm team came to the US for Eritrea and went to HS in SF. Ran 13:28ish in the 5k. 9:05 2mile in HS.

Also, Fam sucked, ran like a fool...went for it? Not, ran stupid and died!

Really dude, I'm a high jump guy, or at least I was, and I know about Asmerom.

re: toad stool

Toadstool, could you have done much better than the fam in the steeple? I'm guessing not. And from the looks of it he went for it and led most the race. So ya can't give him shit for stuff you can't do.

re: Vipam

I think US and Senegal were good, the weather, France, and Argentina were bad, and the refereeing was just downright ugly!

re: toad stool

I agree, Fam did NOT go for it. He was 2:46 at 1k and 5:39 at 2k whick means 66-67 for the 1st k and then 70's for the next k. You aren't going to burn off any of the decentr steeplers in the race. What is crazy though is that I believe he made $8000 for that crud!

What an assinine comment.

I can't do what Kurt Warner can do but he played like crap against the Patriots in last year's Super Bowl.

The guy is making a comment. It has absolutely nothing to do with whether he can run with Fam or not.
