    LOL. That's like saying some guy from Eldoret is the finest Kenyan born cross-country skier of the past 30 years. Not exactly a high standard.

    Remind me how many OG medals US-born distance men have taken since 1971?

    More than Kenyan cross-country skiers have, that's for sure.

    The USA is the 3rd best distance running country on the planet right now. Sorry, you had to come back to reality at some point.

    After his 10k this weekend, I have to think he's considering 10k for the Olympics and not the marathon.

    Man another funny thread haha

    Why Galen Will Not Medal wrote:

    -second-rate finishing speed (56sec last 400 off 14:00 pace might win NCAAs but isn't going to turn any heads on the world scale)

    -not fit enough to run with top runners

    -he won't be sniffing top-5 until he's in sub-13/sub-27 shape at least. 12:50/26:50 for the medals.

    -not tough enough to handle it
