thank you. That implies I have a long way to fall.
Here are the medalists from years ago at the indoors WC. Not nearly as impressive a list as an outdoor WC, no?
800: Aman, Holusa, Osagie
1500: Iguider, Ozbilen, Gebremedhin
3000: Lagat, Choge, Soi
800: Jelimo, Lupu, Moore (moore!)
1500: Dibaba, Selsouli, Alptekin
3000: Obiri, Defar, Burka
a couple of top people there, but Erica moore? Holusa? Lupu?Osagie? fast people, but not top level.
No, it does not imply that. Your stupidity infers that.
"A couple of top people"? Are you nuts? Lagat, Soi, and Choge are as top as it gets. Look who didn't even medal in that race - Mo Farah. And Rupp couldn't even make it to the final if I recall correctly.
And in Cain's event, there's Dibaba and Alptekin who won GOLD at the Olympics that year. This year there is Aregawi in record breaking form.
And you seriously call those "not top level people"?? Moore and those others you listed are no worse than people like Centrowitz and Rupp medaling. This shows that outdoors can be just as weak or even weaker than indoors.
