re: URAC***

For the reason mentioned above (subsequent entry of Africans en masse into the sport), Rupp is already ahead of Pre, relative to other Euro/American runners. This compares apples more to apples, rather than to the entire produce section. This is particularly evident in the 10000 where Rupp is well clear of the other non-Africans.

re: B-Sample

Face it RUPP is superior than Pre in ever way. Isn't a drunk. Has a beautiful wife. Isn't short. Faster. If Rupp wins gold in London, the only question is who will be the lead actor in the Galen Rupp movies! Anyone have Ryan Gosling's number?

re: B-Sample

The whole produce section & the entire supermarket is what counts not a single bag of one variety of apples. Clue bird just landed...

re: PRE beenforgotten

There are hundreds of high school kids that have run faster than Paavo Nurmi yet none of them will ever reach his level of greatness and 9 gold medals. Times will always be beaten but championships can never be taken away.

re: Runquick

Rupp enjoys being able to focus solely on running while Pre had to hold down multiple jobs and sometimes even relay on food stamps to get by. Both wanted it very badly and are willing to do what it takes to see how good they can become and are emblematic of the best in our sport. All I know is that if Rupp wins the Trials 10,000, it will be very loud at Hayward Field and I will be one the people in that crowd.
