Systemic weakness? Please give us further explanation, or else you will look like a moron, and we wouldn't want that.
Secondly, you call others lazy about this topic, but you were exactly the same with Solinsky, pure lazy.

Wariner was done already last year. I called it on this board.
Sprint Geezer calls everything....well at least in his mind he does.

I think he still has an outside shot--a FAR outside shot--at making the team, if he really takes care of himself this year.
Now you have your predictions covered. He is completely done -- as you predicted last year -- but he still might make the team.
(Bump)
What in the world happened to Wariner? How could someone with so much talent, who is still relatively young, with a great coach...run that poorly?
worst thing that Wariner did was leave Clyde Hart
I am disappointed to see Wariner not make the team. However, this might be the only website in the world where a person can finish 6th in their country's national championship and have it called a poor race. It looked to me like he was too timid early on, his style has always been to hammer the first 200 and today he did not do that. He has had a great career, and we are sending a great 400 team to London.

What do you think the British Press, not the message board trolls, the press, would say if Farah placed sixth in the British 5k champs.

You'd better not let Merlene Ottey hear you say that shiz. VCB too.
Farah is ranked #1 in the world. Wariner had his time in that position and it has passed. Farah is England's biggest star for these Olympics, the US has much brighter stars than Wariner now. Think Felix, Lolo, Gay, Gatlin, Merritt. These athletes all have a shot at a medal and possibly an Olympic title, that is a more accurate comparison to Farah. Farah will have his time in the limelight fade away either by 2016 or 2020 just like every great athlete does. That is why we call them former champions. Wariner has nothing to be ashamed of, he is the 3rd fastest 400 runner of all time, and has won his share of medals. It is just time for some one else to step up and represent the US in the 400. The past was bright, and so are the present and future of US 400 meter running.
