I really hope Symmonds medals

Personally, I think he has the third most heart behind our other two Americans. Still a lot of heart, but just less.

And I think you don't know your arse from your elbow.

If races like a pu$$y with that sit in the back for way too long bs he won't medal

So basically he won't medal

I think he has a very good chance given the weakness of the field this year. Last year he ran out of skin and still only managed 5th. In Moscow, I'm betting a silver medal behind Mohamed Aman.

He's the biggest baller in track and field. Self-proclaimed "ballers" like Centrowitz are lame compared to Symmonds.

I can't think of any American distance runner who deserves to more. He's qualified for four world champs and two olympics. He's a 5 time national champion. And you know he is more hungry for it than any other guy out there. He may not be the most talented guy in the 800 final field, but he's got the most heart. I think it would be a beautiful end to a stunning 800 career. After worlds are over it will be really exciting to see him move up to the 1500.

I'm rooting for Duane, but if Nick has the balls to stay close to Duane, Aman and Souliman if he runs the 800, then he will have the win there for his taking. If he runs at the back, he might still eek out a bronze, but no hope for the win if he is near the back with 400 to go.

In my constitutionally protected opinion, he has abused his 1st Amendment right by advocating infringement of everyone else's 2nd Amendment rights (see his stupid Tweets from Dec. 2012). If he is serious about track, he might wish to try shutting up, stop trying to bag celeb-trash, and figure out how to win.

The fact is, sir, that 40 to 45 million real Americans who legally own handguns probably disagree with Symmonds' viewpoint. Use that stuff to wash your own mouth; Im not calling anyone names.

OK, so this tweet offends you?

Nick Symmonds ‏@NickSymmonds 14 Dec

I own several guns, greatly value my 2nd amendment right and I'm saying, "Washington, PLEASE pass some gun control legislation." #newtown

Wanna know what that makes you in my constitutionally protected opinion? Nah, you probably don't.

800m makes you a distance runner now?

I never said I was offended; perhaps you need to larn to read more better. In my opinion it iis simply a stupid statement; there are already over 20,000 "gun control" laws. But in my opinion NS is probably really just a bubba at heart; he just spouts this P.C. crap because he thinks it'll get him some young, low-information women.

All of a sudden Symmonds has picked up on how to run closer to the front. Works on his speed a little bit, and now everyone has him penciled in for at least a bronze medal.

Not sure just which side of the argument you're complaining about.

What I am alluding to is this tendency of Symmonds to think he is the poster child for extolling political views just because he's a semi-successful middle distance runner. He's alot like those Hollywood types who think that playing a role in a movie suddenly makes them an expert on everything. In truth he only shows his ignorance on various subjects, as he simply regurgitates whatever politically correct viewpoint is out there, rather than enganging in critical thought and intelligent discourse. For a gun owner to promote anti-Constitutional "gun control" is akin to a Jewish person extolling the benefits of Naziism.

It wouldn't suprise me to find he only has a double digit IQ.

A 3:34 1500m does.
