that is all.
So, unless one is a superior athlete in X sport one can not comment on another athlete in X sport? Hogwash! Ever been on sites discussing the NFL, MLB, or NBA? This is the nature of sport and if you don't like it you're an idiot.

You can comment, but nobody cares or respects what you say until you've shown it holds weight. Until then you're a loser with a big mouth on the Internet.
In London he kicked well off of a slow pace. In the other WCs the pace over the last 2+ miles is like low 13 min 5000 meter pace. He almost never has a kick off of that pace and always loses a step when the kicking starts. He even lost a few steps in London before he came back.
Also, his London accomplishment was awesome but there was some good fortune. He had a race in which both Ethiopia and Kenya had competitors who could not kick well anymore. Ethiopia had GG (fell off pace) and the Bekele - who could not close below 56 anymore.
Kenya had (1) Bedan Muchiri, who only kicked well once, (2) Kiprop (hurt) and (3) Masai - not a great kicker as far as I recall.
Me too. ; )
You are stupid ! I suppose Bolt was lucky because the other runners were slower than him ! American Letsrun haters are worse than the British press which is saying something. The British press have a go at good athletes who underperform. On here you have a go at your runners even when they have ran up to their abilities. If Rupp had been a new kid on the block you would be crowing about it . After their next race though it would be the start of the big slag off. You are not true running fans ! The headlines " So and so goes home devastated ! ". He's not going home yet you idiots . He got to run a marathon !

Especially absurd because Salazar says he concentrating on the 5K and 10K next year...and THEN going back to the marathon! How does that make sense????
Boilerplate Hudson stuff.
