it was HOT. maybe 85 deg on the track.
you ever run a 27.2x in that kind of weather?
moe set up the ethopian and still won.
ritz in 10. very good, not great.
levins did well though not up to his ability.
anyone know if ritz likes the heat? if he does not, then he's still got a shot at the AR, an outside shot.
results would be different in cool weather but it is hard to say who would benefit most. it is not necessarily africans, thought you'd think they'd be better adapted in general.
the ruppster if he ever brings his A game and Mo is gone can certain win gold.
i think the reason why rupp ran relatively poorly in the 5k in the last olympics is that he runs harder than most. look at moe after the race bouncing around, while rupp is pissing blood.
got to think rupp not recover in time and will come in 6-9 place in the 5k.
