Although we as Americans have brought it on and it would be close...we have yet to see the new breed of u.s. distance runners create performances that rival "the mullet" at World Champs/World cup/ Grand Prix etc. Granted Ritz at world half was huge... but that is not stacked the way aforementioned events were.
Any opinions on what the results will be when he gets fully in shape again and goes head to head with the new crowd...word is that he will try a marathon /10km move up in distance...He seems to big for that ...comments on how he'd fare in the ever changing realm of Developed country's elite runners?
