Rupp would have crushed these guys head to head.
No wave light, no perfect weather, no super spikes.
26:44 with a better close.
You can't compare two entirely different races and say how one athlete would have done in the other. Well not accurately anyway. Way too many variables! Also whose to say Fisher was even running at capacity with his 26:33.. Also the old super spike advantage argument is greatly flawed I believe. People will try to say that with super spikes it's worth 1-1.5 seconds per lap. That would mean Rupp with super spikes would have run a 26:06-26:19 wearing them. Just no lol.
