Alan Webb was extremely rude to the flower girl

he seems like a nice guy he just won the biggest race of his life. He had a lot going on in his head

I would bet if it were a stack of cash that they were handing out at the finish line he wouldn't have too much going on his head to take it. I agree with previous posters that the flower thing is kind of lame. They need to change it up and different races do different things. Maybe a little trophy or something. A wad of money they can keep or throw out to the crowd would be cool. A plaque. Other ideas?

How about a tongue depressor with a number on it!!!!! it's time to bring these young gods down to our level!

i didn't get to watch the race live and kind of forgot about it till the next day. the first thing i saw were the still pictures of him winning with his hands on his head. man, those shots gave me chills.

i really don't think he knew what to do for his victory celebration. he blew some kisses to the audience that looked somewhat forced. El G did this often as he was crossing the finish line.

winning elegantly will take some practice.

obviously, webb can't do anything right in many of your eyes. you need to step back, this guy is obviously the real deal. expecting him to dominate like El G, KennyB, or Geb is unrealistic.

This thread is unintentionally hilarious ... 40 posts on whether or not Webb should have taken flowers from some chick. What a bunch of losers we are.

they should get prettier chicks in bikinis to hand out flowers.

A simply amazing thread!

I wouldn't take flowers from a french person either. Actually, I would then I'd rip them to pieces, throw them on the ground and drop a big, loose, fatty, dump on them and throw up the middle finger to the french crowd.

Maybe a BJ at the finish line would be better received?

Please, Americans, do not fight. Alan deflowered me when he was ready and it was everything I dreamed it would be.

Maybe someone should have handed him a flyer to another race...or...a 10% discount coupon at some local shoe store.

what was up with those gay kisses he slowly threw to the crowd. I mean I've seen people throw kissed to the crowd, but not in the way he did it. Kinda made him look like a freak.

I dunno. Personally, I'd have a hard time enjoying a BJ right after a race. I'd need to wait a while, have a drink, and get in the mood. Now if I was that Borchers kid who always has a huge boner poking through his shorts when he runs, then maybe a BJ would be relieving. Man, Borchers has a huge tool.

OK LetsRunners, lissin up, cuz here's everything you ever wanted to know about the "flower situation."

First, that deflowering post was hilarious--and not just by LetsRun standards. Nice job keeping hope alive on this board.

Re: "those gay kisses", I refer you to a fairly well-known phrase, "when in Rome" (or Paris, or wherever). He's never exactly been in that position before, cut him some slack. So he wasn't as fluid in the kiss-throwing portion of the contest as others have been. So what. He tried. He didn't win the fluid form contest either; didn't seem to hurt him there.

One can only imagine how pumped he was after that amazing performance, and I don't think anyone knows how they would react in that situation. Having said that, it would not have killed him to just take the frickin' flowers, already. It did appeared as if he went out of his way to NOT accept them. Not sure what's up with that.

And for the love of Pre, can you people not constantly compare GAMES such as football, basketball and wiffleball to ATHLETICS??!! Who cares what that moron Shaq does after he "dunks on someone"?

That will be all (for now).

Why must the daisies and daffodils die in the prime of their lives just for a silly race?

How many more young buds will give their life before this barbaric tradition ends?

I beseech all of you to halt this senseless slaughter of our plant friends for your bloodlust.

Thank you.

French Flowers...I wouldn't have taken them either.

Different nations have different ways of celebrating, doing what-have-you, I was once handed a piece of donkey hide after a race in West Africa. The point is, he should graciously accept whatever his hosts hand him, he's an ambassador for our country and a guest in their's -- it is only good manners, after all.

OK let him run his cooldown first.

"Lives."

You're welcome.

I think Baala should have given him a kiss like the Talledaga Nights scene. Seriously though, I was already noticing how much that Baala looks like that French guy from the movie the week before when he ran the good 1500 time.
