Talent only determines how quickly you become good, not how good you become.
Wow, what a remarkably strange definition of talent. Did you make that up all by yourself?
Definitely not the accurate definition of talent.
deez two boys always hurt. day always hafta call a amper lamps!
I bet Dathan could beat up German.
I bet Dathan had more of an impact on running in high school than German did. I've seen at least 3 posters of him running at the world championships in the mud.
I'd give my left two lug nuts to be as fast as either.
I can't believe how close Dathan was to Bekele at world cross in high school. It made me think he could be the best in the world. After last year, I think that's still possible. He wasn't very far behind Bekele with that 12:56 performance.
Wait a minute. Aren't both of these guys Americans?
Where are all the Ritz vs. Rupp threads?
Ritz vs. Solinski?
Ritz vs. Teg?
Ritz vs.Hall?
Oh, wait, I think I just answered my own question.
Yeah they're Americans, Ritz is more talented than anyone you just mentioned.
how about all you haters n nut huggers realize that there is no agreeable notion of talent and just accept that both have their own respective places in the history books. Both are ballers n will continue to improve to place the americans higher upon the totem pole. Accept them for what they are capable of and appreciate them for what they can accomplish. Do it up GF and Ritz!!! Were all behind you.

He was about forty seconds behind at the world champs. Ritz can have a half lap head start and still not be the best in the world.
LRC has several hundreds of pages on Ritz v. Hall v. Webb. Once in a while someone will try to inject Teg into the discussion.

Ritz wasn't 40 seconds behind Bekele in that 12:56 5k he ran...
Welllllllll it appears as if Ritz is still winning. I haven't seen much lately to show German's talent.
...likes the shlong.
I have a hard time believing that, especially since his teammate hasn't mentioned anything on his well-written blog http://cowboytrack.wordpress.com

If by winning you mean DNSing every track race so far this season, as well as world xc, then yes, he is still winning.

I'm sorry to say this but please don't mention Ritz in the same sentence as Bekele. I respect Ritz but the last time I checked Bekele was 12-0 against Ritz dating back since 2001. Not in the same league.
Ritz and Bekele are fast.
SAME SENTENCE!
Also, Ritz wins because at least he didn't start the race and drop out. He ACTUALLY finishes races. Ritz is better.

Fernandez quits when the going gets tough, Ritz rolls with the punches.
German quits when the going gets tough, Ritz IS the tough.
