You know who our Person of the Decade was but below to read about US and World Runners of the Decade, our Upset of the Decade, Doping Excuse of the Decade and more. Then tell us what you think about it all.

congrats on being the Skip Bayless of our sport and helping to ruin it
Why are you doing Decade awards a year early? Or is any arbitrary shift welcome?
Seriously, F*** the brojos and this stupid ppor excuse for a website. I stopped reading a month ago. This thread is why
I agree with every pick.
At the same time, it's also an "asterisk list of the decade," either literally in the article or effectively so.
Men's runner of the decade: Eliud Kipchoge* [*It must be the shoes; literal asterisk]
Women’s Distance Runner of the Decade: Caster Semenya* [*Some controversy about 'woman' part; literal asterisk]
US Men’s Distance Runner of the Decade: Matthew Centrowitz* [*I know, winning is what counts, but 3:50?]
US Women’s Distance Runner of the Decade: Jenny Simpson* [*The only award that doesn't come with an asterisk]
Upset of the Decade: Yuki Kawauchi Wins the 2018 Boston Marathon* [*The weather may have played a role.]
“What If” of the Decade: Evan Jager’s 8:00 in Paris* [*This award is pure asterisk; what if he didn't trip?]
Doping Bust of the Decade: Asbel Kiprop* [*This puts an asterisk next to his Olympic and WC medals forever.]
Person of the Decade: Alberto Salazar* [*In recognition of his putting asterisks next to the careers of Mo Farah, Galen Rupp, and many others.]
"US Men’s Distance Runner of the Decade: Matthew Centrowitz"
Ummmm ever heard of Bernard Lagat?
Sub-53 final 400m for the win at age 41?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNUEO-kjZe4Lol. I take the Salazar pick was inspired by Time magazine naming Hitler and Stalin their Time Magazine persons of the year in the late 30s and early 1940s.

You’ll want an asterisk next to Jenny for her non-answer about Dr. Brown this year.
Great coach who took it too far

You had LetsRun Derangement Syndrome and just like the Dems and Trump Derangement Syndrome you have to keep coming back and whinge and whine.
Gabe grunewald , is an inspiring figure who brought the sport up , not some Jerkoff who tried to get her dqed this is some sensationalist bs if I’ve ever read it and to think I was starting to think you guys were better then flotrack looks like runnerworld is #1 by default

Meh, tragic sob story but absolutely insignificant as a runner on world class level.

In my opinion Sage should have received a trophy too. He basically invented the social media runner category.

Yes, some very questionable, if not outright disgusting choices:
Women’s Distance Runner of the Decade: Caster Semenya - isn't allowed anymore to compete as she is
US Men’s Distance Runner of the Decade: Matthew Centrowitz - cheater coach Salazar
US Women’s Distance Runner of the Decade: Jenny Simpson - cheater doc Brown
“What If” of the Decade: Evan Jager’s 8:00 in Paris - comical 5 out of 3 stars on the infamous likely doping list
Person of the Decade: Alberto Salazar - banned drug cheat
And giving out doping awards like for Shawn Barber and Asbel Kiprop? Oh boy.
Brojos, how about you come up with a clean list of decade awards?
You know this is only going to stroke his not inconsiderable ego more, don’t you?
is this slightly controversial opinion just a way to get some more traffic coming to this dead site? how about fixing this site? this site looks like it was made in the year 1999
