If you read the LRC article on the main page, it states that Bayer PRd by 5 seconds! Huge PR, and he's beating some pretty good runners. Does anybody know who is coaching him right now?
I couldnt see well because my stream was fuzzy but it looked like he was still in his Indiana uni.

Galen Rupp finished behind Augustine Choge (3:30), Ayanleh Souleiman (3:30), James Magut (3:33), and Daniel K. Komen (3:29) in that order. After him was Mohamed Moustauri (3:31). I think he'll be alright.
That gives some perspective. He got trapped inside at that critical point with around 500 to go and it took a bit to get out of it. Not ideal and I bet he could've gone at least a half second faster if not for that.
He will get rested and have some pop in his leg for worlds. My darkhorse prediction is he has his best 5k in a long time and surprises people with a medal run.
I also think centro will come around with rest. All the new guys to this program are probably super flat. It's no secret that it is an exhaustively extensive program that must take some adjustment, especially for youngsters.
He managed to pr at 800 but I'm sure his volume is much higher than he's used to.

Rupp needs to practice more boxing moves. Left, Right, Left, Right, Upper-Cut.
Really, if Rupp sits, hides and drafts off others, he has no reason complain about being "boxed." It's a situation he allows others to create. Rupp strategy vs. Boxing strategy. Boxers will usually win.

No way Rupp medals in the 5000m. He has a shot in the 10000m behind Farah and Gebremeskel

For a 26:48, 12:58, 7:30, 3:50 guy there is always a way. It may not seem highly probable right now but that is very different from impossible or no way. In fact as good as rupp has been at every other distance he is long over due for a nice 5000. People seem to forget his 5000 at pre last year. People also seem to forget that rupp peaks for championships as well or better than anyone relative to their ability. In the 10k he's a heavy medal favorite.
Sintrovich -- err, I mean Centrowitz, has always had his ups and downs, and with luck may make the Moscow finals. Can't see him medaling though.
Jordan Macnamara ran really well. 3:52 is a great time and he was right there behind Rupp. I expected Ingebrigtsen to run a little better, but as he's a racer, not a time-trialist, I'm not too worried.
