      • Pretty incredible he won the Olympics but his performances internationally are heading south.

        Manzano looked respectable for a few years after his silver and then faded into oblivion.

        Centro looks to be on that path. May win another US title or two but that's it. Definitely not win a DL, won't got sub 3:50 or sub 3:33 either.

        He'll at least have a short, decent 5k career, maybe 2-3 years

        I think he'll time things just right for 2020

        He meant Anne Diamond. A rather fetching British newscaster from the ‘80s

        What she has to do with 1500m racing, though, remains a mystery.

        A few people do... but his son, Patrick, was announced as the "son of the legendary Henry Rono" on multiple occasions during his collegiate career.

      • World Indoor championship gold, World Outdoor championship silver and bronze , Olympic gold.

        Dude, please.

        Centro is a legend, and he is good. DL does not factor into a runner's legacy. It's purely for the loot.

        DL factors into the new IAAF ranking system.
