Andrew Wheating is in trouble

I thought you were gonna say he's pregnant. Nothing to see here, just your standard 0/10.

Unfortunately, this is history repeating itself. Wheating has done this every year recently. Wasn't it after a pretty good run at Mt Sac or Oxy last season when he went off about how great Rowland is and how he was ready to roll and finally healthy, blah blah. I think he scratched from a race like 5 days later and may not have competed again.

Sadly, I think Andy is scared to hurt because he's scared to get hurt. Terrible situation to be in for such a stud.

I just wish his coaches would put a muzzle on him. It's like he gets in front of a camera and just takes a big steaming, dump and says everything that he thinks he's supposed to say.

0/10.

Wheating just ran a race, Friday eveining, where he beat everyone except for an Olympic Medalist (Centrowitz). Seems like he is doing just fine, now.

Yeah but it was really slow. And who did he beat that was noteworthy? Colby and a few unsponsored guys? He also didn't have his tactics down right cause he should've beaten centro. He's like those guys in the NBA and NFL that claim that "i'm in the shape of my life" after every offseason, no matter what. It's kind of annoying.

10/10. I was thinking the same. He is running well, two races in a row now.

What event would he go in? Before I ever knew about his running history, I thought he looked like an 800m guy.

Is that his event in 2016? Or the mile?

When did Centowitz medal at the Olympic Games?

Oh yeah, that is right...never.

“… I was trying to be this goofy, 20-year-old kid from 2008, but that’s not who I am anymore. Everyone has to grow up. I’m still a child at heart, but I’m an adult now. I have to adjust to a different form of running.”

He is lost! trying to define himself and thinking too much. No more Olympic rings for this guy.

Who?

No need to be obtuse; he has two World Championship medals.

And?

Olympics > WC's.

Centrowitz does not have an Olympic Medal. That is not obtuse, it is a FACT.

Maybe he changes that next year in Rio? Until then, get your facts straight.

You need a new shtick. You go from thread to thread picking fights, the when someone disagrees with you you call them 'obtuse', even when it's clear that you don't understand what obtuse is.

Everyone knows he should be the bronze medalist. Makloufi is doped to the gills and faked/cheated his way into the final. Just like Willis was bumped because of Rashid, so too should Centrowitz be bumped.

Oh the irony...

FFS, why is this thread on the front page...

It's an angle greater than 90 degrees. Not sure what that has to do with Matt Centrowitz.

No it's not. It's an irregular calcified whitish structure found in the mouths of many vertebrates.

This is a fine indicator for Wheating. If he stays healthy, he just has this one thing to learn, the race distance is never another, say, six meters from where the actual finish is, so you have to get closer to the lead and start your kick earlier. There are a number of incredibly talented runners in this country who never quite realize their potential (Andrews (who looks like he has it together again this year), Wheating, Fernandez), because of injury or other issues. For Wheating it is both, the injuries and the need to always reserve something and never go to the well.

Didn't race again the entire year. He should just stick to his social media and stay off the track. About the only thing he is suited for anymore.
