Does anyone even realize that Solinsky broke 12:57 THREE TIMES IN 2010!!!!!

Oh and I forgot to include the link with proof:

I always love looking at sites like this one.

Reality Check. Solinsky's last race while in great shape ended when he somehow got shoved completely off the track by a 120-lb Ethiopian. Though video replay makes it look more fake than the Italian national football team's dives in the World Cup.

Before that he dropped out of a 10k 2 miles in and called Rupp's allergies "a ploy." Since then he is almost completely unable to finish even a 3k, like the one he dropped out half-way through after being in the middle of the pack with college guys at like 8:20 pace.

Thanks, Eeyore, but what does that have to do with what the OP said? He was just fondly remembering 2010 and hoping Solinsky has a strong comeback. You're acting like he was fondly remembering the time Solinsky f*cked your girlfriend.

Ok I believe you.

Yea one hell of a season he had, a total outliner in comparission to all his other performances, yet him and his group choose to point drug accusations towards salazars.

Rupp the so called "golden boy" has broken 13 ONE TIME and he ran 12:58. Solinsky might not have the medals that Rupp has but damn it he ran with heart and balled out at every given opportunity. I really hope he can get back in shape for a half or full thon....he could do some damage on the roads with that speed.

I agree that Solinsky's 2010 season was pretty damn good.

However, I disagree that he "ran with heart and balled out at every given opportunity". He was perfectly fine when the going was good in the 2010 season and earlier, but when the going got tough, he was dropping out of races, not starting races, etc.

The episode at the 2011 Monaco Diamond League for instance, was absolutely ridiculous.

Rupp went down with 3 laps to go, but at the very least, his reason was that Rotich unpredictably went down right in front of him, and he ended up flipped over on his back.

Solinsky in contrast, was apparently "shoved" by a 110 pound Ethiopian. From the video footage, it actually appears that there was barely any body contact.

Yet somehow he goes about saying "Ethiopia's Yenew Alamirew sprinted up behind me and threw his whole body into me. I was in midair, and he shoved me right off the track":

In the same season, he DNFd at the Pre Classic after Rupp didn't start.

After that, he had his injury, but really never put his heart into his running again. He was DNFing low-key college meets, foregoing races, etc.

Solinsky may have started out great, but again, when the going got tough, he most definitely did not get going.

He isn't running on the roads with "that speed".

If he still had that speed he'd still be on the track.

I think the main reason for these drop outs was due to his injury. He didn't have the same pop that he was use to due to the strain in his hammy.

It was four years ago, a long @ss time

Okay. My point stands: you seem like a total bummer.

Yeah, it certainly doesn't appear that he "threw his whole body into him." I wish he had gotten back on the track, even if he had closed in 2:00 he would have run 13 flat.

Anyone think he can run 26:59 again?

He was Bjarne Riis of track and field.

That's great!!! but how does that matter in the world scene when Bekele, Haile once ran under 13 min in a second half of a 10k. That was in world championship 10k 1995; and running 26'49 to win-12'58 and 12'59 for the second half-Haile 26'50. And this was done off of a 13'53 first half.

He is a done deal done done and done, maybe he can go hunting and have a deer chase him with a gun-maybe then he'll run fast again-that would be a fair trade.

Didn't realize that.

What a year!

Thinking what a wall 12:58 had been.

Aouita had that as the WR for years and Kennedy the AR for years.
