REAL TALK for those who thought Galen would beat Mo

Well, good thing since I don't remember you stating anywhere before the race that he would beat Rupp. Perhaps you did. Can't gloat about something you didn't predict.

Is this the same Gary Lough that proclaimed Farah's Sports Personality of the Year Award to be a "€\&*ing sham" or "€&*ing con"?

Mohammed Farah versus Galen Rupp is similar to Sugar Ray Robinson versus Jake LaMotta. Ray 5 Jake 1. Yes, it is possible Farah could have an off day and lose to Rupp. They are both older athletes so less than great performance by either will occur. 800m to Marathon, Farah is the superior runner. It does not matter if Farah beats Rupp by one second or a few minutes. Farah is without a doubt the superior runner.

Well, you gotta consider 1st that Farah is a doper. POS is the most suspicious there is. His times dont matter. Osako was the actual winner in Chicago.

What the hell is sugar brain robinson and lamott? When you reference something it should be of people that are well known enough.

What I want to understand is WHAT IS IT ABOUT RUPP that you thought would put him ahead of Farah in your mind? Not all of your a dummies so I am sure there is something to your prediction, even it it was incorrect.

Looks like Gary Lough is the better coach than Al!

Dumbest post ever. As if it couldnt have just as easily be the other way around. You could just as stupidly ask what exactly was it that made people think both Kiruis would beat Rupp.

Thank you for either checking in from your remote outpost overseas or during your juice break in grammar school. Why are not you familiar with Sugar Ray Robinson? Playing Jake LaMotta may have been Robert DeNiro's best acting role. See film, Raging Bull.

I thought Rupp had a chance based on the fact that he had more experience in the marathon and might be able to grind Mo into falling off the pace. Mo's first marathon was a disaster. His second was just him hanging on for dear life after going out in 61. So, there was reason to believe that 26.2 might not be Mo's cup of tea. Obviously, Mo figured out the marathon and looked great covering the surges and pulling away for the win. Mo v Kipchoge v KB in London would be the marathon for the ages.

Well, Mo does owe his career to Al. Al turned him into a world beater. So this is also a win for Al.

No.

Farah has improved dramatically at the marathon since LEAVING Salazar.

We all know this is an obvious troll post, but clearly Mo NEVER trained for a marathon under Salazar. He ran 2:08 at 2014 London as a cash grab off ZERO marathon training...

^^^^.

Rupp ran a 26:44 and won an Olympic medal. It was not unreasonable to think he could be stronger than Mo in a marathon. Mo only beat Rupp by a couple of seconds in the 2012 10K.

Why do you insist on posting inaccuracies like this? Did you even watch the 2012 Olympic 10000m? Mo has always been superior to Galen BUT you need to educate yourself.

He actually beat Rupp by less than 0.50 seconds in the 2012 10,000m if we're nit-picking about inaccuracies.... (27:30.42 v 27:30.90)

I don't think SDSU Aztec said Rupp ran 26:44 IN the final, you just didn't read slowly enough and assumed that, got hot-headed, and wrote some drivel.

As someone who is vastly your intellectual superior, I advise you to STFU. I corrected SDSU Aztec on his inaccuracy. I did not waste my time on the difference between .48 and .5. I NEVER assumed he meant 26:44 in the final you IMBECILE.

Of course I did not have to tell him....I felt like it due to his being too obtuse for nuance.

Nah if he was really “being too obtuse” you wouldn’t bother.

Reith was attacked by an ignorant tool and he took the tool to the woodshed. Naturally.

He beat the world of 2:06 sub-elites. He's a Rupp beater, that's all.

Champion: Kipchoge

elite: 2:03

up-and-coming: 2:04

Nobody slower than 2:03 is even in the conversation for "world beater." Kipsang, Kimetto, Bekele, Biwott, Mutai, Makau, Gebrsellasie, Mosop, Adola have breathed that rarefied air. There's a whole crowd of 2:04 guys looking to join the club. Sure, one of those 2:04 guys lost to a 2:05 guy, but the 2:05 guy doesn't get in the club because of that.

This is the brutal truth for both Farah and Rupp fans: get over your little rivalry. Most eventual 2:03 runners got to at least 2:04 within 3 or 4 tries, and those who didn't started young enough to run lots of fast marathons. You've seen the peak out of both Mo and Galen, they're not going to get any better. Go ahead with the excuses about how they choose to run on slower courses with bad weather, are running to win not for fast times, etc etc. Just don't call that a "world beater."

I am waiting for his wife to berate someone over it.
