This is one of the funnier threads I've read for awhile - although I doubt BTC would see the humour in it. But when your reputation has gone it's gone - they are now a subject of derision.
Joe Klecker is a fine runner. Mad respect for him actually. The guy gets nothing but better. In a world of Drew Hunters, this is great to see. He has the best coach in the business so that helps.
Having said that, Joe Klecker is basically Ben True (Not a DIS..Ben True was/is was great).
Grant Fisher just broke the American Record. He is faster than Joe Klecker by 30 seconds in this event.
Can anyone ever imagine Galen Rupp losing to Ben True in the 10K in his prime? Of course not! Rupp went nearly 9 years without losing to another American in this event.
Winning was a priority for him domestically. He raced that way!!
This is why it's so disappointing to see Grant Fisher run 28 whatever and lose.
This is sooooooooooo BOWERMAN. Run a time trail to set the US record in front of hardly anyone and no TV.
Also, Get embarrassed running 28 and taking second at the PRE Classic in front of Hayward fans and TV.

1.) Klecker has made an Olympic team, True has (sadly) not. 2.) Fisher has never won a national championship (let alone a global medal). Outside of the probable doping, comparing him to Rupp is laughable.

I try to emphasize this point constantly. You race to WIN. These perfect time trials are useless. Win in USAs, Worlds, Olympics. I don't care, WIN.
Joe Klecker is a gamer and when it came down to actually racing, Klecker was more of a man than Grant.

Why so angry? More of a man - what is that about other than you being mad.
I think this was the first race that Klecker has ever beaten Fisher and the win was a tenth of a second. To your thought process all of Kleckers losses to Fisher in High School, University, and as a pro would that mean Klecker is less of a man? Of course not, that would a dumb think to say then just as it is now.
Klecker ran a good race and came out on top. Fisher, as he said in his interview after the race, didn’t run a smart race.
Both made the team and so did McGorty. Cheer these guys on. They and others in the race wanted to win but in a race on a given day there is only one such slot.
I think you and many others just don’t like BTC or Nike and pump your chest while slamming on a key board. Get a life. You know nothing about these runners, their training, lead up to events, focus on events during their season.
Fisher wasn’t happy on how he executed his race, surely Bor and others weren’t either. Klecker ran smarter and was better ready for a sit and kick at this time. None of them could be happy about the times they ran. The three that made the WC team are happy about that because that was their primary focus. Not winning the race Fisher is not happy with himself. Klecker winning the race is happy about himself.

Move on.
Cheering everyone on like a participation award bring me no joy. So instead I have decided to cheer against the group who supports the proven doper. That brings me joy.
