You are right. I guess I was just pointing out the obvious.

This is something I don't take issue with. Eritrea's had a lot of troubles over the years, and I am glad he, as just about the most promient Eritrean-American, provides the nation some exposure in a positive way. And he HAS a choice, and he's chosen to be American, to the benefit of the US.
Joe,
I agree. But that story is different than most americans. That story (although a good one) makes him different than you or I (certainly better than I). Now comes the tough part. If he is different than you or I then he can never be thought of as "the average american guy". He can not be different and expect to be treated as "the same". Americans are searching for a replacement to the Rodgers, Shorter, successes of 25 years ago. Someone that can compete with the east africans. Someone that can disprove the theory that east africans are geneticly superior when it comes to distance running. Meb or Abdi will never be qualified to do that. I respect and admire Meb and his entire family for what they have been able to overcome, but he is wrong to expect to receive the same kind of respect as Bob Kennedy or Bill Rodgers. His story is different.

Bekele's lucky El Gerrouj didn't run the 10 000 metres at Athens, El G would have *smacked* him there as well. In fact, I would have put money on El G at ANY distance over Bekele, he is just that good, a natural LONG DISTANCE runner who was so good he could dominate the mile.
So keep training and go back to English class.
i think you know nothing about athletics.
Kenenisa run olympic record time and return to 5000mr( firts round and then final).
a totla of 20000mr in less than ten day, where as EL G ( by the way i adimre him a lot and after all my intention is to talk about world class atheletes in which cas you came to my point and i do not have any problem with any of mega star like EL G, KENEISA, GEBRESELASSIE, PAUL TERGAT.)
once again please forget MEB( I DID NOT TELL YOU TAHT ENGLSH IS THID LANGUGE YOU PERVERT)
