Why aren't people trashing Turinesh Dibaba?

Did Farah insult anyone? He may have and I simply missed it, but that seems out of character for him. I know he was over-hyped but that's out of his hands. People had a good reason to expect greatness from him but in all honesty I don't see him ever running much under 2:06:00, if at all, and it doesn't take a genius prognosticator to offer that.

I admit I was trolling a bit here because I knew that this would generate some thoughtful replies along with the superficial insults, which it did. Dibaba ran okay, but based on her track times (and she's more of a 5K/10K type than Farah, obviously), she might have been expected to simply run away from the others at 25K to 30K.

Farah can run faster than 2:08....but he must prove it. And did anyone think Farah could run 3:28??
