Go to Asia, Japan in particular with a dark sinned friend and a Translator to hear what's said. Germany and Belgium are worse, too.

Racism isn't that big of a deal anymore. It's just the way it is. It was only bad in the 1960's.

Lol. How's your kiswahili?
He probably doesn't live in Kenya.
The Aussie drank his milkshake.
Ed is the GOAT but even GOAT's lose occasionally. Can't recall anyone ever retiring undefeated.
Regarding Tiernan, you are a 13:20 guy on the track and then end up running your last 5k close to 14 flat on turf and in frigid weather with 25 MPH winds. That wins every time.
I actually give Chez loads of credit. As DEVASTATING as that had to be, he gutted it out and held off a charging Futsum for 3rd. Could've folded when the title was out of reach but he showed some kahunas by digging deep in the homestretch for his team.
Congrats to Tiernan for running a perfect race and doing something no one else has been able to accomplish
Nevermind I thought he just had a terrible race but he was running on a bum hamstring to still take 3rd running injured shows heart congrats to the King 3 tittles in 4 years is awesome GO DUCKS

Needs repeated
Ches should of been Pro after his freshman year but he wanted to stay in his "safe zone" glad it wasn't so safe. It's not easy to be a man and go Pro. BTW. ..how old is he now?

He won this thing as a freshman 3 years ago and every year since. He crushed Tiernan last year.
Do you think he's been coasting on his training this year, thinking it would be easy, or did Tiernan really step it up?
The dude just FLAGPOLED. He FLAGPOLED big time.
Oh, and F da mods.

Where did you get this information?

To win NCAAs, even if you are King Chese you need to be close to 100%. I don't think it's anything to be worried about.
Surprised there aren't more big upsets on the track when you think about it with guys being off etc. I think cross is even more unforgiving.
Age has caught up with Ches.
All kidding aside, Ches is closer to 30 than 20. Sure Ches is talented, but he has been racing kids his entire collegiate career. Ches was likely 18 as a HS soph. LOL
That said, he was also due for a loss like this.
Kiprop would have thrashed d1 today

He was likely 18 as a HS soph, but is closer to 30 than 20 as a collegiate senior? That doesn't work out mathematically. At all.
Fact is Ches is 23 right now, only a year older than most college seniors. If you ever met him face to face, you would think he is 19 or 20 cause he really does look younger than his age. I found him to be a classy guy who decided to stay in school to get his degree, rather than try the professional route. Good on him for this decision because an education will take him further than running will.

Couldn't of said it better myself. At least I didn't have to see him flap his stupid little arms and fiddle with his shorts at the end.
What of you said?

Oh, so he can't speak another language and probably never traveled out of the country as well? Sounds like a Trump voter.

So? Travelling people don't actually learn other languages just for travel purposes.

Logically the only explanation is, Patrick Tiernan and all Australians are racist. White privledge allowed him to beat Justyn Knight and Cheserek. I'm going to alert the ACLU about this injustice!
