Assuming you're talking about the NOP twins, I'm with you. After Farah dodging Bekele and the hot 10k pace I hope Lagat let's him know that he too is still worth dodging.
I want to see Rupp and Lagat beat Farah. So sick of Farah. I hate that stupid mobot.

I just REALLLLY want to see Lagat go back to Kenya and compete against his own countrymen for spots on national teams. Unlike most of you Lagat sycophants, it has always been obvious to me that he pursued U.S. citizenship only because the path to the Olympics and WC's was easier.
He might be a wonderful guy on a personal level, but love of country had nothing to do with Lagat becoming a naturalized citizen.
That damn fool trains in Kenya all year and keeps a residence in the US just for citizenship but is never in America except for select races.
Yup, I'm sick of Farah always winning. I'd like to see him staring at some one else's azz while he's sprinting up the home stretch for once (in a while).

I don't know whether that's true or you're simply being sarcastic, nor do I care either way. Few people agree with my poing of view when it comes to the likes of Lagat, Lamong, dual citizenship guys (such as Manzano), etc.
I believe that's almost completely false. I don't disagree that ease of olympic qualification was a motivator and I would also guess that the move here has certainly prolonged his career.

"Love of country"? WTF R U talking about? People move to different countries for better opportunities. Not because they up and decide "You know, I really LOVE (country name)".
You will all eat your words when Mo sprints the last 400 to win the 5k and outkicks overhyped Rupp and the kenyan Lagat.
Why do you folks care so much about the order of finish after Garrett Heath runs away from everyone for the win?
You mean alan webb?
