you are a 'tard. get the tampon(s) out of your ear. he said it was a hamstring issue.

Ps. idk if you are aware but Galen ran a 10k less than 24hrs ago closing in 1:52.

You forgot to put quotation marks around 'injured.'

Great job. He almost beat a 40 year old african. Whoohoo.

SOLINSKY > RUPP.

AT ALL ASPECTS OF RUNNING AND LIFE.

IT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS.

Remind me, how many times has Solinsky been to the Olympic championships?

Solinsky gets second in a 5k.

Rupp gets 1st in a 10k, then 3rd in the 5k.

Rupp > Solinski.

And injured? What? He is coming back from a severe case of vaginitis?

Should add, if this meet were scored like a traditional track meet, Rupp would have scored twice as many points as Solinsky.

No reason Solinsky shouldn't have done both. He is the AR holder in an event he didn't even run.

that's the most slanted description of the race you could possibly make.

A better one would be:

"After a pedestrian 4:39, Teg takes the lead and picks up the pace so Solinsky does not have to do any work. Then Teg drops back intentionally, finishing his pacing duties. Solinsky leads Lagat and Rupp for a few laps, and then gets out kicked by Lagat. Rupp stays somewhat close for 3rd, less than 2 seconds behind Solinsky."

WITH NO MEDALS FOR EITHER TO SPEAK OF YOU HAVE TO GO TO PRS.REMIND ME, WHAT ARE THEIR 5K AND 10K PRS?

Solinsky's season over since he decided to drop out of 10,000, his best event. "I'm a competitor, as long as I don't compete in my event."

You could go by

US Championships: advantage Rupp

NCAA titles: advantage Rupp

WC/OC appearances: advantage Rupp

All through college, Rupp had better PRs than Solinsky but Solinsky had more titles, and the Solinsky fanboys said that titles are the only thing that matter. Now that Solinsky has better PRs and Rupp has more titles and major race accomplishments, they want it the other way around.

Anyone find it strange Rupp's agent in Michael Johnson? Probably the most doped guy in track history who actually got away with it

Sure Lagat is old, but he is doped up too. So, does it really matter that he beat up on Solinsky? no

Solinsky has better PRs. The watch doesn't lie.

Solinsky is the best white distance runner in the world that is currently active. Last year, he destroyed Rupp in both a sub 27 10k and also broke 13 numerous times. He has the same 5k PR as Mottram and was #2 in the world at 10k. I'm pretty sure Rupp has to actually beat him before you can say that he is "better".

When you show up at the starting line at worlds nobody is going to give a f*** you won a championship in college or a tempo run against a WEAK group of american distance runners. If you have never proved yourself with a PR, there is nothing.

Not sure I saw it the same way...

Teg was pacing Solinsy, Lagat was just cruising and could have gone at any point for the win.
