      • Always make sure to lean

        Rupp was boxed in deep that whole last lap+ but he wasn't gaining the last stretch. Good run anyways

      • Memo to Tim Hutchings. There is something called the DL title. Kiplagat was celebrating winning $40,000.

        The lean didn't cost him. I think Makhloufi was coming back on him no matter what.

        Good run??

        Rupp's fan boys have been saying he could break 3:30. He gets his doors totally blown off in a slown race and you say a good run. He was awful.

        Kinda looked like he was celebrating a win. Isn't that why he got the flowers?

        PRs and beat Kiprop. Can't ask for much more than that.

      • By standard conversion factor of 1.0798, Rupp's 3:34.15 converts to a 3:51.23 mile.

        Three tenths off his PB. No reason to expect him to run much faster.

        Yeah, he set several ARs this year indoor and outdoor, was WL in 10k and just got a pb in 1500. Truly awful.

        Can always count on the idiots and haters to puke up stupidity on this site.

        It doesn't matter. Rupp could win the Oly GM, set a WR and some A-hole on here would say he didn't do it right.

      • Kiprop was 12th place in this race. Finishing just ahead of him means Rupp was 11th place for this race. BFD.

        Tell that to the 8% of people who said he'd break 3:30.00. They honestly shouldn't be allowed to post on here.

        Rupp got a PR. Not bad, but not competitive in the last 200 which was to be expected given he's a 10k guy. But some just couldn't understand that coming in.

        Weldon gave me permission to offer $3,330 as a guarantee that wasn't going to happen but I was on a train this morning and forgot to post it.

        it is funny though that he 'beat' both Kiprop and Manzano.

      • Gatlin may be a damn dirty doper, but at least he's out there destroying the competition this year. Pretty weak for Bolt and Blake to just sit this season out.

      • Gatlin blew away the field in the 200 with a 19.71 win.

        He only needed to run 19.90 to have the best 100-200 combined time in a single day.

        Gatlin the best 100-200 day EVER in the sport.
