the 3,000 meters isn't even that far, one of these days they'll put a mixed distance runner and jumper and it'll be the end of it. take a 6'4 high school kid in the US that can run a 8:40 2 mile and can dunk.

Way to stay classy.
Kipruto is an absolute disgrace. He celebrated 40m out right in the face of a fellow competitor, lied about his training in his interviews, and ducked competition to get on a solid doping regime to get ready for the World Champs. His behavior is disrespectful, unlike Jager, who acts with class, gives level headed, honest interviews, and most importantly, is drug tested constantly. What a disappointing World Steeplechase and a world wide embarrassment to Kenya.
You do not deserve to win a world title when you don't do a track workout in the month leading up to the champs. Either he's lying or is cheating.
Never Say Never
Steeple is just for second tier athletes that can't compete at 1500/5000

Just ain't happening. Your golden boy Jäger got beaten by a guy with a busted ankle. This was his last chance at a global title because there's a new bunch of Kenyan kids coming through set to bloom by 2019.
Bow Down to Kenya's Greatness.
kenyans dont even waste their time on hurdle form. if you can t just naturally hop over the hurdle you are not going to beat a middle distance kenyan runner.
Kenya can NEVER win a war.Kenya can NEVER have a GDP above $1,750/person/yr.Kenya can NEVER cure a single disease.Kenya can NEVER build a car. Or a computer. Or even a toaster oven.Kenya can NEVER have paved roads. Yep, 90% of them, unpavedBow down to Kenya's "Greatness"!

Anyone who refers to Jager as "Jäger" (Wigins) or "Yager" (as Brendan Foster kept doing) is a certified moran.

Huh? Only as classy as this whole site was in the build up.
Americans should stop worrying about the hurdles. Just get clear run in front and accelerate with short steps befor a two foot hop like the kenyans do. It's not lik milliseconds matter in a 3k.

Two Kenyans did lose the steeple.

The Kenyan's look like stick figures....Doesn't take as much energy to propel a body like that.
Who is the skinny one
I believe it has something to do with the ability to accelerate. Hurdle makes you loose some momentum. Almost all of them got the RR version of the actn3 gene and they got other favorable genes
Title should clarify "men's steeple"
Doped up Americans go 1-2 , with the second one having a massive PB.
Was that one Kenyan on drugs? I don't mean PEDs, just like crack cocaine or something? Never seen such bizarre behavior.
Just saying Kenyan dominance is still much simpler than everyone wants to make it.
They are crazy lean and pull from a large group of motivated individuals.
It's simple math. All of the other science is a waste of time. Those 2 variables explain it best.
If you give me only a small group of Kenyan babies... let's say 20.... and raise them here in America... my guess is you don't get a gold medal...
There is no way you could legally be that lean in America... your parents would be put in jail.

A good point I've never heard in the discussion before.

I've been explaining that for years, but everyone's always desperate for me to be wrong about something so they refuse to believe it.
The Horn of Africa is the most food-impoverished area of the planet by far.
