Mods, is there anything you can do to stop this weirdo from somehow making this site worse and less readable than it already is? And also request a wellness check for the individual?
I think that's very disrespectful and demeaning towards me. I think the mods know my history, my morality and ethics, they know how good of a man and intelligence I am, not a schizoid like some pricks on LRC have called me while hiding behind anonymity.
The quality of my insights, knowledge and understanding, my spirituality with an emphasis on reverence of God, my fierce passion of course for real clean distance sport and doing it the right way with no anthropogenic RF or electricity around, are all plus points for not only LRC, but actually the whole world. It never gets irrelevant, just as God never forsakes his flock!!!!
So please please please, INDULGE IN ME!!!!!!!! You will not be disappointed!!! I don't bring calamity to any organization or institution!!!
I swear this websites user base has gotten stupider over the past 8 years. No sh!t it was a slow race, it was a tactical trials final in the heat of the summer. No sh!t Nico is probably fatigued he’s been racing since g*ddamn January. Someone look up How many races he’s started this calendar year and compare that to fisher’s, what, 4-5 races total? Give him 5 weeks to sharpen up and rest and he’ll do fine. He won’t win a medal but he’ll race his best and get valuable experience. He’s like 21 and I t’s his first time competing at the games. Most people don’t double up in events unless they’re a true generation talent who’s at the peak of the powers- a la Rupp, Lagat, etc. Nico is a young guy who is competing in his best event at the games for the first time. The 5k was his backup event. I’m not surprised he scratched. If anything I’m more surprised that Hocker is staying in. But that’s another discussion. Wishing our US team nothing but the best.
Not in the heat sheets or live results page. Makes sense since he already qualified in the 10.
.,..
Smart move, his bread and butter event is the 10000m. No need for another yard race after the long collegiate season he endured. Expect great things from him in the near future if he stays healthy.
Damn shame he is a long distance runner and posted more non collegiate races than Athing My🥺.
Sorry I don't mix myself with stupid AI stuff like ChatGPT. I prefer raw human intelligence, strength and restraint. ChatGPT can never beat a sophisticated being like me!!!! It might beat me to quite a number of details but in those details that matter to the intangible soul and heart it will not do so.

Agree. Still can’t believe Hocker is in the 5k. Is trying to help Teare? It makes absolutely no sense for him to run unless he is planning on scratching the final if he makes it through the first round. Seems very strange

As crazy as it sounds, Hocker could have a shot at a medal in a tactical Olympic 5K. He's ran 8:05 and 12:58, so the strength is close enough, and in a 13:20 race, I like his finish better than almost anyone besides Jakob.

Is a runner not allowed to like racing anymore? He can't just go out because its what he enjoys doing? He has to have some weird motivation for doing a second event?
Yes I know that, your points are very reasonable and acceptable. But I believe Nico Young had the trials race on his radar since January right????
He must have planned for it and made that insertion into his running calendar, so would have done Mike Smith his coach right????
He didn't abruptly decide to run the trials 10k like yesterday or week before right????
A runner of his caliber and status would foresee what races he might run on the horizon from 1, 2, 3, 6 months out right???
It's the same for everybody who applied to run the trials 10k race, they all had the same preparation time and were warned of its date of happening which is end June right???
So you are a little off to say that Nico is tired and all because you are then accusing him of poor planning, poor peaking, poor scheduling and just downright reckless and haphazard???? Can't be right????
The same can be said of Grant Fisher, this race on penciled in for him long ago and he was exactly planning on readying and peaking himself for this race, or even if not peaking to the max, at least a half-peak or 3/4 peak or something so that he still closes the final 400m in the sort of times and splits that are world class like Kejelcha, Aregawi, Barega etc righit?
So I don't think there is excuse for Nico and Grant to say any of them is not ready or fatigued for the race. The only issue I see may be the weather for Nico and Grant, they went from cold winter to cooler spring to hotter summer. Nico was running much better in the winter and spring but it really shouldn't matter the temps and weather. Bekele had no such problem, so did Haile, Kejelcha, Aregawi, Barega and used to be Cheptegei in the past. All the greats at 5 and 10k exhibited no such excuses about anything.
They were always ready, Even if they weren't ready, they were still always winning. Bekele ran his 2005 10k WR with half baked training. If you are good you are good, if you have it you have it, otherwise you get washed up very fast at this level.

Oh so now you do see something strange with Hocker bruh????
Read my 20 posts prior, subscribe to my channel, I will show you all the strange af stuff about Hocker. You will like it a lot!!!!!! Hocker is a filthy cheat!!!! Period!
He still has the energy and strength to do 2 rounds of the 5k and think he can win it and qualify or something??? That's why he has to be on drugs duh!!!! This guy is a quack.
Agree, Nico Young seems overcooked during the 10k trials race. Surprised he couldn't rein in and outkick a misfiring and washed up Grant Fisher who only ran 58.1 in the final 400m. Just shocking poor!!!!!
Nico Young has kicked 55/56 so he definitely can beat Grant that day.
A lot of people down voting you but I kind of agree with some of what you're saying... Like was he as strong as the trials as he was at the 10 where he ran sub 27? Probably not, I think he's probably holding on a bit better than you're implying but fitness/racing form probably isn't anything near peak on this cycle.... another couple races are probably the last thing he needs right now.
If you don’t love the same troll coming into every thread and spamming 10 posts at a time and instantly making the thread unreadable, you don’t love LetsRun.

It may be tactical, but not "tactical". It won't be a 13:20 race, 12:45-12:50 to win. I'll bump this after the Olympic 5k has been ran.

Yes both Nico and Grant, and I feel bad saying this because they are both right now clean athletes not doping, seem way too far off both the closing speed they are known for in the final 400m at least, if not also the last mile, and endurance for which brought them a sub 26:5x 10000m. Today they are both not only 1min off that endurance, but in terms of closing speed even way worse for the 1min of endurance they forgo.
With the cheat shoes they have compared to the days of Bekele at 2004 Athens closing in 3:57/58 and still jogging it in (probably could have gone 3:55 or faster if somebody pushed him from 1mile out) while on crappy shoes, it's really profligate and unacceptable of Nico and Grant in certain ways. Again I'm not trying to be mean like I'm mean to Hocker and Jerry Schumacher right now since Nico and Grant are today real clean athletes. But this is the reality but sometimes I know I'm also kidding myself when I try to call out athletes who are performing like trash because I myself already know that such trash standards are the norm in the era of too intense anthropogenic RF pollution.
Can I expect differently???? The answer in reality is that I really can't. I can't expect Nico and Grant to train harder and push faster in training, nor can I expect them to go alter their training and do more tempos, thresholds, hill repeats or long runs because in actual reality their high performance standards are not one single percentage point governed by any training but by RECOVERY FULLY AND TOTALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What do I mean by recovery???? Of course I'm referring to anthropogenic RF pollution. It interferes with all human biological functions, from physiologic, neurologic, endocrine, hormonal, endothelium, blood-brain, gut-brain, gut, lung, liver, spleen or adrenal, reproductive, SLEEP AND REST AND REPAIR, immune everything bruh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You need all of these aspects of human biology to do recovery from training but you can't do any proper recovery like El G, Bekele used to do up in their unradiated mountain highland training bases and living quarters 20 years ago. So your training HAS NO BENEFIT and so IT NEVER WAS TRAINING THAT EVER MATTERED TO HIGH PERFORMANCE SPORT BUT THE ANTHROPOGENIC RF ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION WHICH IMPLIES ONLY YOUR RECOVERY FROM TRAINING, NOT TRAINING, THAT REALLY MAKES YOU STRONGER AND FASTER!!!!
Therefore, the only thing that would work immediately with no time delay for Nico and Grant, without drugs and cheating, would be pack up and ship themselves to highland Ethiopia where it's far more backward and unradiated, much more protected from anthropogenic RF. 5G hasn't arrived in Ethiopia, it probably never will as the government would have no use for it anyway. There is 4G/3G but that's only in cities of Ethiopia while Kejelcha and Aregawi are stuck in a rural hole very far from the city so 4G/3G gradually decreases to negligible levels. Then now the recovery is going to be very good for high performance sport.
Even Renato Canova, all the best coaches all emphasized recovery recovery recovery BUT they didn't truly understand to the extent and magnitude that I Khamis the RF King understands what recovery truly entails and means!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even Renato has got no inkling how far deep and profound the meaning of recovery brings until he broaches the subject of you guess it right----anthropogenic RF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Renato probably doesn't even know what's 'anthropogenic' and what's 'RF' or ever heard of it in his life. It's so exclusive to the very best of human minds and characters to study and understand it's not for the pricks and perverts on the side-street.
That's why I'm far and away the most perspicacious, most ground-breaking, most advanced, most futuristic, most superior knowledge pillar on LRC and know that I am so!!!! I know I'm the difference, I make the difference for all you human beings and sports persons and that's why I'm on LRC proselytizing!!!!!!!!!
Cheers :)

I don’t think of Nike as a woke company (is abusing women woke? Example: Salazar). so I’m not a fan of Nike but if they bring back the waffle racer I would reconsider.
