Great performance, Coe! Any insight! Out of this world performance... can't wait for the video, because he is one big guy.. must've had German scared.

Are you kidding me!? Michael Coe finally stepping up and above his talent level with a jaw-dropping 7:48, racing Fernandez to the line (no one mentioned this, not even his teammates!).

Can't wait for the video, eh? Then don't...

Forcing a runner out on the last straight is a bitch move; doing it on the last turn is just stupid.
-
Coe was trying to push GF further outside. I am glad he got second. German ran his stupid butt down.
-
Michael coe is a little bitch, tries to push him out and still loses. This isn't nascar. He should have at least won if he was going to do that.
-
It didn't look that bad, but German did seem to be happy he got the win...
Here is a up close view of the finish - http://www.runnerspace.com/video.php?do=view&video_id=8591 -
If Rupp was caught doing that little celebration he'd be shot on sight!
-
You know, it's really fun to be coaching D1 middle distance right now because of all these guys doing great.
For a guy who doesn't have any basic speed (just ask German's old high school coach--ha ha) that was quite a kick in the last 200 or so. -

Rupp doesn't win track races so it doesn't matter. -
watching the runnerspace finish shot, is it just me or is fernandez starting to look cocky?
-
No he was just pissed off at Coe who ran him wide. You can't be that stupid can you?

That's called endurance.. -
i'd be making the same celebration too if some asshole took me out wide for no reason and i STILL beat him. theres no point in that, german would have run maybe a second faster or two if that didnt happen, and coe probably would have too

yo idiot, watch the race again, Coe was in lane 1 the entire way. flotrac dunce just said that because he was looking throuh his handycam and was assuming fernandez should be blowing by him, but he wasn't.
figure it out before you mouth off. he acted cocky because he thought he had an easy victory (despite gritting down the stretch) and then looked over to see coe right up his ass. -

seriously, stop listening to the commentary with the small view and watch it yourself, Coe DOES NOT take him out wide. Fernandez just takes a while to get around him. -

Agreed. When did runners become a bunch of whiny braindead twits? -

True. Coe has come on all of a sudden. You can bet that if a race occurs wherein Fernandez actually does try to take someone out wide the goofs here would call it keen tactics. They're dorks and they also seem to be brainwashed into falling over each other to show who can attack a white, any white, first. Dorks. PC weenies. -
I see he didn't take him wide but even if he did why would it matter, it's called strategy on trying to hold someone off. Look at any Olympic 1500m finish or even some of the closer 5ks, those guys finish in lane 3
