Silver MF Medal! What an inspiring run -- looooooved he pumped he was crossing the finish line. Not a bad Olympics for the U.S. distance squad, methinks

Nice run!
GREAT RUN!!!!
Showboating Kipruto showboating a bit.
Kemboi with a bald spot shaved in??
Amazing! He ran for the win unlike the other Americans who ran for bronze!
So sick
Truly deserves, he pushes the pace hard enough and his kick also shows in the final lap.
Under the old Olympic record as well!
Great run. Wish he would've challenger for gold. I'm sure he just wanted to solidify silver that last lap.

Did Kemboi let him beat him though? Dogged it the last 80m.
An American in the steeplechase says, "no, lets run 8 minutes", take control of the race, forces it under Olympic record time, and wins silver.
Remember Fam? Remember when he acted like a badasss for leading ONE lap of the final?
Smart run to take it out from the gun. Kenyans were ready and no on else went with. Wish Kipruto would have tripped at the end showboating.
How about the guy going face first into the barrier? Hope he's ok.
I'm shaking right now that race was so exciting. Glad to see Jager run for gold, even if he couldn't quite match Kipruto's kick. What a champ.
Fantastic run and 2 medals for the USA in the chase. Starting to show that its not just the East Africans that can medal.

Would have been interesting to see him go with kipruto. I think he knew he had bronze locked up and was going to just settle for that but then realized kemboi didn't have his usual kick.
HUGE RACE! HUGE!
64 years since USA has had a gold or silver in steeple.
I'd love to see Jager get in a fast DL race soon and get that sub-8. He just ran 8:04 in 97 F heat.
HUGE RACE! HUGE!
Jäger did well. Changing of the guard. Zeke, 34 and Brimin, 40(?) are old men. Conseslus, 21and Jarius, 22 are the future.
What a run.
To all the US haters on this board.. lick his big nut sack!
He only got silver because the track is short ;)
