Good lord, Cragg is LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAN. If she can maintain that figure for Rio she's got a shot at a medal.

can we agree that was good coverage of the 2nd half of the race? they caught everything. Although they caught on real late that desi had a chance.
great drama with cragg and shalane with desi closing fast - that was serious stuff.
so in the end ward was the only surprise.
Weren't Desi and Amy Cragg roommates in college?

Rupp destroys the field, and 6'4" LP runs great and ends up 4th, while loads of little tiny guys, and lots of Africans, completely blow up.
Rupp is 5'11'' and like 130 lbs
Big guy?
Yep, by marathon standards, he's on the big side, and lots of people here told us he'd have problems with the heat because of it.

I've always been crying at least once after 22 miles in every marathon.
It's generally the realization that after devoting 4 months of my life I've left everything out there on the course that day.
Watching Meb is making me think... I'm gonna be 40 in 2020 - might have one last crack at qualifying for my (British) Olympic Trial (a much easier 2:45).
Can you get an IV after the race?
How long has Cragg been training with Schumacher?

Looks like Amy and Desi are holding her up at the interview.
Rupp's performance shows Salazar CAN coach the marathon, so no more threads on Salazar can"t coach the marathon.
Oh and Rupp will win the Olympic Marathon.
Anyone have news on Hadley?

Meb is more American than you are. American is a state of mind as much as it is a birthright. I'd take him in my corner every time compared to some keyboard warrior troll.
Yep. Meb is about a million times the American as any of the LR a-holes who constantly run him down for 'not being American.'
You want an athlete as role-model? Meb is it.
