Racist. His dad is British. You horrible racist. Please get cancer, please.

Britain isn't a race you idiot. Nor is Somalia

GALEN RUPP LITERALLY DIES

HIS WIFE HAS LEFT HIM

HIS CHILDREN ARE CRYING

I think we have to remember that Rupp is one of the highest paid runners in the world. I'm not sure he justifies he price tag.

There's no way I just read someone try to argue that Ryan Hall was a better marathoner than Rupp. Even by LRC standards, that's daft.

Did you watch the race? When did Farah dictate the pace? He did his usual thing - stayed behind everybody until he made his move.

Ha ha - did you watch the race? Because he was certainly dictating the pace over the last 2/3 miles. First there were 10. Then there were 6. Then Galen was dropped. Then 4, then 2, then just Mo. He BLEW THEM ALL AWAY!!

It's was awesome. Burst out laughing every single time, these guys got spit out the back of the pack. Honestly, "when did Farah dictate the pace"...

Kennesa Bekele is the GOAT. He still holds both 5k and 10k world records. He won multiple Olympic gold medals, owns a 2:03:03 marathon pr and is probably the greatest XC runner ever. Mo is great but not this great.

Hall was great, but his pr for 10k was 28+, no way a 2:02 off that.

Osako ran well. Dude could run off into the sunset right now, methinks.

Prancy-boy Galen has so much left to learn. Even Parker's urgent form has a greater upside. Prancy boy better do some underwater running and learn efficiency for this distance. (At least he didn't barf this time around.)

Bekele was probably sitting at home laughing as he watched Chicago

In 2020 Bekele and mo will be too old to win anything. 37 and 38.

Im not sure why we are are down on Galens performance.

His time today is the 3rd fastest ever by an American. Only Khalid and Ryan have run faster, note Khalid has two 2:05's one being a world record to put Galen's performance into perspective. Khalid and Ryan do not have an Olympic medal in the marathon event.

Today's run clearly makes him the greatest American marathoner of all time.

I think Frank Shorter would like a word

Frank would admit that the quality and depth of field are far greater today than when he was running. Medals are far harder won today.

Never mind him! I was laughing and laughing and laughing.

Rupp is mediocre. He’s a waste of oxygen and doesn’t race enough to warrant the label of athlete. He’s a disgrace and not even American born.
