Was at the Olympic Trials in ‘16 and I asked him for a handshake/high five on his victory lap and he said “ next time around “ them proceeded to run out of the stadium. Lost all respect for him after that. He does owe something to the sport and people that love it.
Nobody in the world owes you a high five, much less an Olympian. Stop projecting your insecurities from all the times you got snubbed by the cool kids in hs
Was it a kids race that he skipped appearing at after the trials? If it was a kids race, he probably should’ve been there to support the kids.
If it was a race for adults that he didn’t appear at, I think the adult runners are going to be OK. If you’re an adult and you’re feelings are hurt because a professional athlete didn’t show up to give high fives, you probably have issues.

if you get offended that the winner of the olympic marathon trials is not there in the morning to kick off the for-fun marathon you need to spend less time being upset at galen and more time working on running faster
That event isn't going to hurt his training.
But events like that boost the sport and help people like him make a decent living.
He owes something back for that.

Adults - 2,000 in the full; 6,000 in the half; and 3,000 in the 5K.

Yeah, but you know adults have kids, right? And they go home after the race and fill their kids heads with their little stories about how they ran a marathon and got a high-5 from a US Olympian. Those kids go on to be the future of the sport. Being a top level athlete comes with responsibilities that go beyond what you do on the track or field. Again, how much of an inconvenience would it have been for Rupp to spend 20 minutes waving at the rec runners at the start of the race? He's was just being an ass

Is this a real comment? Do you actually tell your kids stories about all the people you've ever high-fived? Buy a Harry Potter book or something because I don't think telling your life stories are cutting it.

Well, she took her time getting to the finish.
Some times is amazing how you hobby joggers think
I just saw this thread but don't have time to read through it.
I know for a fact that Rupp was on a 7:30 pm flight out of Atlanta on Saturday night. So he was already back in Oregon the next day.
His name has been cleared once more
Even Craig Virgin was $hittin on him earlier on twitter
I'm so offended that Galen Rupp didn't stand around for hours on his aching feet, legs, and back in the chill after Saturday's men's marathon win and sign autograph after autograph after autograph after autograph.
I'm so offended when I hear of a pro athlete who doesn't spend hours doing what some idiot on a message board said he or she OWES the public, because it's the public that makes the athlete, you know.
And how DARE Galen Rupp go home to something which, for most of us, is the focus of our lives: F-A-M-I-L-Y!
Good thing he left. Turns out two people in Atlanta are known to have the Coronavirus. He probably looks like a genius.
this only makes rupp the smartest of the bunch.

Maybe Rupp was the one who took the picture.
???? Makes sense to me
Remember when Rupp got crushed in Sacremento in the 10k finishing 5th and not making the 10k team for London after giving up his marathon spot?
He stormed through the media zone refusing to answer the media's questions.
He's a deck when he wins.
He's a deck when he loses.
And now he an't even look his competitors in the eye because they see him as a cheat

Please , I wouldn't want anything to do with you . Keep your kids away from me , my family and friend . If I saw your kid coming towards me , I would call the police .

You remember everything about him because you are fascinated by his greatness . Most people watch , then get on with their lives .
