Must have been his attempt to honor Whitney Houston: "I wanna dance with somebody, I wanna feel the heat with somebody, YEAH I wanna dance with somebody, with somebody who loves me!"

I give it an 8.5.

Is the original footage available anywhere? Looks like it was a good race.

That jump cut stuff is a load of sh1t. I get that they want to do something different but it just makes the whole thing frustrating to try and watch.

you guys are idiots. The guy was taking still photos and decided that he had enough to piece them together to make a video. If he wanted to video the race with a video camera, he would have.

Is Gregson now the most hated runner in Track? Loser dance... looks like he is so into himself. I would rather have an Alan Webb scream or a Seb Coe double-finger salute than this tool. No intensity from this kid.

I feel like when Gregson started to dance the entire running community that saw it did a massive simultaneous face palm.

he is jerkin at the beginning then he does cam newtons superman pose ...tool be original

Just me, maybe, but I tend to find it really creepy when white guys "get down."

The dance he was doing is called the 'melbourne shuffle'.

Weaksauce.

Gregson looks like the world's biggest douche.

No wait...you guys who say running needs more sh*t like this to become popular are even bigger douches.

Gotta love the earrings... poor kid. Enjoy it while you can. I doubt he makes the Olympic 1500m final.

Here's an actual video of Gregson's finish line dance, not the photo compilation.

Not the greatest quality because it was taken with a mobile.
But it's better than the first one ... I hate jerky videos!

He should let his running do the talking and then show some real emotion when he runs well, not that lame dance he has been practicing at home in front of his mirror. Track fans love track because it's real, not rehearsed! Gregson is an awesome runner and seems like an OK guy, just needs to be himself!

Kiprop's jersey is too sweet. I really like that new Nike singlet. Good win by Gregson.

Did you guys watch the 800m video with Rudish and Symmonds and with Symmonds walking off the track in disgust? Symmonds is such a hypocrite. If it's only March, why are you racing? Why are you pulling up your roots so early? Let them grow, buddy! He has a lot of work to do, got way too out of shape and thinks just by being King of the Mountain here in the US, it is as easy as apple pie. Get to work, son!

Ryan Gregson is The Man.

Get used to it.
