Leo ran his last quarter slower than I used to run my last quarter in high school when I was struggling to break 5:00. That is just not cool.

I laughed out loud in a meeting when I read the thread title. Probably because only a true moran would think he died April 21st of 1992. Hard to imagine he was dead when winning a silver in 2012.
That being said he has a pretty sweet website and online store!

Glad to see he was helping out his 7 year old niece and let her draw up a logo for him to use.

when he realizes he isn't going to be in contention for the win or top 3 or whatever his goal is he gives up. i personally have no problem with that, but it has pretty clearly been the case over the last decade or so. like any runner, he has good days and bad days. and when he has a bad day he just decides it isn't worth it to run hard and lose anyway.
he may or may not return to the same level of success he had before, but this type of result isn't really anything new.
^^^^.
Leo is very competitive. If he's in it for the win, he's dangerous. If he's not, he's awful. I remember when Vig was still coaching him way back and he said something about "If he's got a shot to win it.....He's real dangerous" Manzano had never won a medal or anyuthing.
I was like, "Wait, are we talking about the same thing. Win the world championship?" This was before americans were medalling in anything. Vig said, "Yes. You don't understand how good he is if he feels he's in the hunt."
I about fell out of my chair but Leo had the last laugh with that silver medal.
Along those lines, after the race last night a buddy of mine texted me last night and said, "I know Manzano ran 4:21 but he had a better shot of winning that race at the start than did Kyle Merber."
I laughed but almost agree with him and certainly get what he's saying (and I love Merber (fellow Ivy Leaguer)).

Can we make this "so and so RIP and then their time" a thing like the "so and so is DONE" or "so and so goes home DEVASTATED."
Let's go ahead and keep things fresh!

Leo Manzano Indoor Mile PRANK In the Hood (Gone wrong) (Gone USATF) (Cops Called) (Gone SEXUAAAAAAAL).
That is pathetic. I can run 4:25 from muscle memory. No self respecting runner that can't perform to a minimum respectable standard should show up to a championship meet.
I am not sure that he tries to run fast until he is ready to run fast.
I doubt any of you weekend warriors think that way, but I believe he has earned the right to take the money, and run as slow as he wishes, until he thinks to do otherwise.
I wonder if he's binging on Taco Bell, watching a Kardashians marathon, and reading these comments. After a 3:57 performance probably like 3%, but after a 4:22 I'm guessing like 93-94%.
Leo if you're reading this I'd like to extend a personal invite to next year's husky classic! I'll save you a spot in the fast heat!
I wonder if Laura Muir would have beaten him in this race.
