It was a marathon. Nothin to do with discus.
Making the Olympic team only for an Olympics not existing this year.
Nothing like getting off the grid in Ethiopia to get yourself right. When I saw him training with Mo I knew he'd show up full of beans.
This is bad, really bad.
It is bad for the country but great for the man.
THe Ethiopians and the Kenyans will wreck Abdi.
The women's team is good. Molly surprised me.
No faith in clean cactus representing the US.
Anyone ever make 5 Olympic track teams? I can think of at least one with 4 (George Young), but not 5. Amazing!

Al Oerter won 4 Olympics in the discus but was 4th in the 1980 Trials
Merlene Ottey made 7 olympics
LOVE IT!!! The best was when he would fall back and get dropped late in the race(several times), but then seemingly USE SHEER WILL POWER AND GUT HIMSELF BACK INTO TOP 3!!! INSPIRING!!!!
If he can be TOP 3 AT U.S. O.T. ‘THON NATTIES and GET THAT OLY Q maybe this basement dweller can finally GO SUB 3 FULL MARY or at least GRIND OUT a few more SUB 20 5k SPRINTS!!!
GO BLACK CACTUS!!!!
He went to Ethiopia to train. Can anyone tell me how many times he was drug tested over there? No chance he can produce a 2:08 effort at 43 with the destruction he has done to his body over the 20 years. This is total garbage

Yeah, very similar to 2008. Still Ward, Fauble, Mock and Bumby all had a great chance to make the team but none of them could put together a good race like Riley.
Armstronglivs will be here shortly to explain how everyone should become old and withered at 30 like he did.
Lagat did NOT make it at the similar age of 45, because he is not a marathoner.
Now Lagat will run the 45 year old sub 4 mile!
