John Utah, this is a great point. No one, or very few, in the US care at all about the accomplishments of Paul Chelimo or any other number of Kenyan transplants who are currently whipping our home grown athletes. Maybe GB was down for so long in the distances they needed to pin their hopes on someone - anyone. But we (the US) were down for a long time too. Perhaps their love for Mo comes from the fact that he came up through their athletics system. That's a lot more than we can say about the WCAP, etc. ringers.
