I don't get it. Why are people happy that Webb doesn't medal. I mean, great for Lagat, but Webb has put it out there this year and has been racing great. Webb put it out there in this race as well. The difference between 1st and 8th in a race like this is just being a little more "on" or "off" on this day (less than 1 second). Why be happy he was just a little off for the sprint. Lagat was a little more on. Look how long it took him to get a gold in a WC or Olympics. Give Webb a couple more years of experience and he'll race the big races as well as he has been racing all year. I'm sure he learned a few things and will use it the rest of the year and next year in China.
