Never have I seen an athlete "blow" a race like that! Hood should have won with better tactics. When are these guys going to learn(Sullivan included) you can't give world class milers a 1.5-2 second lead at the bell and expect to catch up...Sullivan has perfected covering the 1.3-1.7sec in order to medal...how about running for the win!
At 400m into the race it was totally obvious it was time to get up to the front.....if a Kenyan takes the lead(especially a "lesser" one directly followed by a faster one!) you better get on your horse and quick!
Too bad...Graham certainly deserves it, but with his luck and injuries I doubt many opportunities like that will come along again!
What says you "fast Al"...you always run to win!
