Canada ***destroys*** US in WC marathon!!!

Wait, isn't Canada part of the United States?

No, because then the US would have 18 medals in the championships instead of just 17. If Canada had earned even a single gold medal in these championships it would have put them 105 gold medals behind the US all time in WCs.

You're missing the point, dope.

This thread is about the marathon, not how many medals the two countries earned at this or any other World Championship.

Dope, you missed the point.

As I said on another thread, Young was carrying an injury that he tried to overcome to compete. He had three shots in his leg within a 3 week span, and gave it a go. He has not DNF\'d before - this being his first. And I know Young - I can tell you he wouldn\'t DNF unless he was in some injured state.

I give these guys credit. They showed up, and gave it their best. People who continually attach all their hopes on Ritz, Hall, etc. to represent their country will be continually disappointed. If the US wants to really become a contender in the marathon, you have to support ALL their athletes and develop them early and often.

People who discount Dan Browne simply don\'t know what they are talking about. He is a stud - and has been for a long time. He is virtually unbeatable on the roads when he\'s running to his abilities. He has run 13:16 5k. 27:42 10k. And nearly 20 US road championships.

SteveH.

He's just no good in the marathon anymore.

I didn't realize Sage Canaday was even in the race! Anyone know what that cat has been up to these days?

aparently getting ready to run a marathon?

Like how in the last Olympics, no Canadians even qualified and the USA had 9th, 10th, and 22nd out of 76 (not counting DNFs.)

Berlin? Yes, I know it well. I stabbed a woman in a bar in Berlin. But I am going nowhere near Berlin.

Berlin! I also sexually assaulted a horse in Berlin.

Nowhere near Berlin.

I'll drive this truck off a cliff before I ever go back to Berlin.

Incorrect. There were qualified Canadians. Their federation just chose not to send them because while like Ritz, Hall, and Sell they had no chance of medaling Canada didn't want to waste its smattering of resources on them.

As an American I have to say he is right. Team USA was a JOKE. Who the hell was that 4th guy? Never EVER heard of him. It's embarrassing as a fan of US Distance running that we put a JV team like that out. We deserved to get smoked like a blunt by the Canadians. Stop kidding yourselves guys this isn't about how Canada has done in the rest of the World Championships it's about how terrible USA did in the marathon compared to Canada.

THANK YOU, SHIZZY.

At least someone gets it.

I would bet my life that the op is an American and a troll...and a damn good one.

9.75/10 - you have beaten me at my own game.

Josh Neyhart, you have no right to talk. Your a disgrace to our country! and Your surely not the one to talk about being fast. Shit, you think you know all running, and can you break 4:15 in the mile? No. So shut up and get back to your training!

>>saucy fop>manscaping>metrosexual<<

You've gone over the edge, stalker, now I am sickened.

Works for me.

They originally wanted to call Canada the CND. But when they spelled it out they said, "C, aye? N, aye? D, aye?" And that is how Canada was named.

Then why did they send a team to worlds as none of them had a chance at a medal either?

If you send no one then your chances of winning a medal are exactly 0.

So the best Canadian marathoners beat our C team marathoners. Some accomplishment. Maybe one day Canadians will be good at a sport other than curling or have a track and field athlete known for something than the being the most famous doper of all time.
