Congratulations!
Congratulations!
Now onto gold in London
WOW!
Better than Pre!
Game, set, balls.
legit.
That man is a competitor. Rupp. Huge balls.
that was probably the most brilliant feint i've ever seen in all of track and field and soooo risky with 50 to go. won't happen again, though.
brilliant. but, the reason i don't like rupp, and the reason many others don't. what's with the narrowed eyes, the elbows, the puffed chest / pumping, and the turning around and yelling? rupp, what are you? justin gatlin, carmaleta jeter? rupp is straight up classless!
he did it....he did it...he did it....etc
Hate Rupp, but great race!!!!! Didn't think he could do it!
Details.
How did he beat him. Was Lagat close coming into the homestretch?
Lagat tries to laugh it away but it stings. Bad.
RUPP IS A GOD!!!!!!
Me the last 100m: "Hooooooollllllyyyyy shiiiiiiiitttt!!!!"
Finally a chapter in US distance running can be closed and we can look to the future!

Other than a winner?
I big F**K you from Galen Rupp to every single one of you message board monkeys who like to look for any negative thing to say about his running. America has a shot at a distance medal for the love of Bill Mills SUPPORT this damn guy. Im blown away at what we just witnessed. I feel like a little kid, that was unbelievable.

Led the last 400 until lagat passed him with 100 to go and then came back 50m to go to outkick him
Gotta confess a twinge of sadness to see such a legendary record as Pre's go down. I mean, yeah he's been dead now for 35+ years, but there's a finality to it now.
But hell, props to Rupp. I confess I had my doubts about him in the past, but the dude has done some nice training. If he trains smart and races smarter, he just might have a shot at a medal. I hope he does well!

rupp and lagat side by side at the bell, rupp takes it alone till the 200. lagat makes his move and completes the pass coming down the straight starts to pull on rupp who doesn't back off and throws it down gets him 5 meters before the line. 52 last lap i think.
