Where would Rupp have finished at world Half?

NOPE. In the DNS lists, same as Hasay. Salazar would have pulled out of Rupp beforehand.

One can't finish on the DNS list.

You seem to be unfamiliar with race results. DNS runners appear on the results list.

I didn't say otherwise. If you appear as a DNS on the results list, you did not finish the race, correct?

You can finish. You can appear on the DNS list. You cannot finish on the DNS list.

Pull out of Rupp? That sounds hot.

Maybe behind Cheroben in third place to get bronze medal. Sure it would have been a fantastic result.

It wasnt an easy race with those all out last 6 km, After 15 km at 2'57"/km. I m sure for people like Kamworor at 2"57/km

was a Marathon pace about 2 mmol. So when he started to push was at 2'35/km about 5 k pace. But to push at that pace

you need to be very confortable at 2'57/km for the first 15km. Also Cheroben I think suffered those 2km (the 15th and the

16th) where Kamworor did that incredible surge in pace. While at the end Cheroben was getting near to Kamworor.

The race it was all about who could survive that insane change in pace in the last 6 km.

If Rupp was completely game, I would say 2nd, this assumes the WHMC was his main focus for this spring. I can see Rupp running with Kam until around mile 10, but when Kam dropped that 4:15 mile around mile 10, I am not sure if anyone in the world could have gone with him. In terms of finishing outside of the top-5 as some have suggested, Rupp's Valencia performance would have placed him in 4th at the WHMC. To the numbnuts (-or trolls) who suggested Rupp would not have finished in the top-10, you need to look at some of the profiles of the athletes in the top-10. I doubt Rupp would get beaten by athletes he has a faster PR at every distance. - With that said, I am almost sure Rupp did not abandon his training to run a 4:50 marathon pace in Boston for the relatively minor Valencia half marathon. Had Rupp been training to run a 4:30 half marathon pace, I can see him fighting for one of the minor medals in the WHMC.

I find it absolutely crazy how someone could think Rupp would have been incapable of competing against the leaders at the WHMC when he has been successfully competing against the best athletes in the world for nearly a decade.

At the finish line?

You are wrong again.

It turns out that Mr. Rupp finishes... at the bottom of list.

For example:

Go Galen!!!

As if you wouldn't know already:

If Rupp had a good day, he would finish 1st. Bad day, he would finish 2nd. No one in this race that's at his level.

2nd is believable, but to claim that Galen Rupp could EVER beat Geoffrey Kamworor at the half marathon distance is nothing short of comical.

Wait a second.

I heard a rumor that Galen has been using the Coach Alberto's NikeAerodynamic-EconomySpeedSuit®...which will be available in running stores in June.

It improved running economy by 3.33 % in SecretUndergroundNikeLab™ testing:

Given that Rupp has run faster than Kamworor for 10000m, it's not so comical.

My question is NOT where would he have finished but why did he NOT RUN?

Same question for Hasey, Flanagan, and Huddle?
