What's the record now? 23-1?

Lagat is 12 years older than Rupp. When Rupp goes pro at 22ish, Lagat is 34 at that time! He had 12 years racing professionals, 12 years more experience....12!

On top of that, Rupp faces Lagat, a lot of the time, after doubling back after the 10k.

Let's take Rupp and put him up against someone who is 16 RIGHT NOW and count how many times Rupp beats him after the 16 year old does a 10k prelim, a 10k final, and a 5k prelim. Then, when the 16 year old reaches 28 and Rupp is 40, let's all bash the young one for how much Rupp beats him. That makes perfect LetsRun sense.

I'm not a fan of Rupp or the NOP because of the ethics they have, but seeing the fallacy of logic NOP haters have is amusing, especially with this stupid/out of context win/loss ratio of Rupp vs Lagat.

I agree that the Rupp vs. Lagat score is idiotic. Does anyone keep track of that kind of thing for any other pro runners? I bet Lagat would say it's stupid, too.

re: rupp-certified saladbar

Can LetsRun make "Who's you're daddy" t-shirts for Rupp? Similar to the ones that were being made for Pedro Martinez in 2004.
