Yeah man, RACE TO SEE WHO HAS THE MOST GUTS, BECAUSE TO NOT 'JUST DO IT' IS TO SACRIFICE THE GIFT! It's not like Lagat has a PR of say, ten seconds faster in the 5000. He'll break the bastard or die trying, and get the gold like Pre in Munich! Go Preeeee.....

I just wonder why Rupp didn't goes balls to wall from the gun. Figure it would have given him a better chance at winning than trying to outkick one of the greatest tactical racers of all time, even if only a marginally better chance.
Completely agree. The only way Rupp was to have a chance of winning was to take it out from the gun and put the pedal to the metal until he broke everyone or he died. He has to have better endurance than Lagat at this point (assuming he was going to take a crack at the 10k AR today in NZ). I would have much more respect for Rupp if he took it from the gun and faded big time/ DFL while trying to break Lagat but everyone knew that if Lagat was in the race with 400m to go the race was his.
