Yes, the title says it all.
We took it away from him.
Too bad that the Ethiopians couldn't keep him away from the podium. I was cheering for Ayele loudly.
....and just to be clear, yes, I am blowing my own trumpet. I just can't help it.
At times, one has to blow his horn.
Rio will be a bonanza. WE WILL LAY IT SQUARELY ON MO FARAH'S DOORSTEP.
We have a road map.
Mark my words.
Just add Paul Tanui into the mix.
Which place were you in today's race? I assume you were one of the two medalists ahead of Mo? It would, of course, be ridiculous to be saying "we" and stealing others' credit otherwise.
Actually, you didn't do anything.
I'll answer you.
i was in my room infront of my lap top.
That doesn't change the facts brother.
We dropped Mo Farah.
the key word here is 'drop'!
it doesn't happen quite often.
....but we did it.
I am still elated brother. I am in great mood........
No, the key word is "we" which implies that you had some part in the outcome rather than sitting on your rear.

I can only laugh.
I am over the moon!
Congrats to you and your countrymen, NS. As a Norwegian, I feel the same when we do well at big Nordic skiing events. It is strange how many young Americans don't feel a "we" when discussing anything about The States. Certainly, it's a paradigm change from my time spent there in the early 90's.
Congrats on the win 2day
Kam n Bedan were great , Mo fought the good fight as well
p.s this is a race where both of them were favorites in this distance
Mo Farah's thresholds is the 10k

I would have been far, far more surprised to see Farah beat Kamworor and Karoki at their own game. As Cram said at the beginning of the race, if Farah beat everyone there today in a hard and fast half marathon that they have been preparing well for then they might as well not turn up in Rio. He is a track athlete, these guys specialise at running road, at a distance 4 times as far as Farah's best distance.
I'm surprised anyone here thought Farah had a shot at winning. Kamworor said effectively he will take it out hard before the race, and anyone who knows about athletics would tell you that Kamworor could have run a LOT faster than Farah managed when he ran 59:32 in pretty good conditions.
I'm sure Geoffrey will move up and have a strong career in the Marathon in future, what we saw today was one of the best half marathon performances ever.
All this means today is that Farah may want to reconsider doing the double in Rio. If Kjelcha and Kamworor both make hard races for Farah then he will struggle to win both.
Doesn't that make you a traitor for cheering for an Ethiopian? Well, Kamworor and Muchiri did what we have all been saying the Kenyans needed to do to break Farah before the kick, so a fine day for Kenya. Time to get your drug house in order, though, and don't forget about the fact that the U.S. whomped on Kenya at World Indoors.

Thanks buddy.
It's a sense of belongingness. I sat infront of my laptop cheering. Great races on both sides. I do know about Nordic countries and skiing though I am not a fan. We always identify with our own. I am sure had the US won- like they did at the world indoor, the 'we' pronoun would be all over this board.
We are all human.

Well,
Two things...
first, Kenya had no chance of getting the bronze. It was amongst Farah and the two Ethiopians. It was obvious. Cheering on the Kenyan who was going to finish fifth is frankly not wise.
secondly, the indoors doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things.
Just take that from that bro.
oh, there are three things and the third is this;
Our drugs are very efficacious.
The potency level is out of everyone else's scope. It is out of this world.
No one can deny that fact.
* I meant '....take that from ME....'.
Regardless of semantics it was great he got beat and we were spared the "stupid-face" as someone else mentioned on another thread.
I share in your joy, NativeSon. Always great to see Mo Farah lose. Or Galen Rupp lose. Or any of the Alberto Salazar's athletes to lose. I'm a hater.

At least the Kenyans are admitting to their cheating now, I suppose.

LOL....uh no, father time is taking it away from Mo. y'all have been unable to take away nothing yourselves the last 6-7 years.

Norwegians winning at skiing is like Americans winning at basketball. At first we thrilled at the prospect of the "dream teams" obliterating every other country, but that got old.
NativeSun,
Don't let the haters hate. I love how you use the word "we". True sports fans live and breathe in their fandom so we is appropriate.
Some peopleare always hating. Heck when I was coaching at Cornell, somebody got my when I used the term "we" to refer to the team I was coaching. So if they always are going to hate, you might as well use it.
