Me too NativeSon. I think that 1500 flameout was just the price we had to pay to the universe to enjoy this EPICALLY historic moment.
You guy's have had your place in the sun. I hope you all enjoyed it. America is going to own you guys from here on out.
Oh,I'm so happy. Eliud Kipchoge restera le meilleur. Did you hear me? I said Eliud Kipchoge is the ðŸ GOAT ðŸ . All bow down. ðŸ‘ðŸ¿ðŸ™ðŸ¿âœŠðŸ¿ðŸ’ªðŸ¿â˜ðŸ¿ï¸ðŸ‘ðŸ¿ðŸ‡°ðŸ‡ª 🙌ðŸ¿

And again: Lo, you're great? Like it or not we come to the brain. In the marathon we have reached number five and our boy Simbu. You Kenyans have remained probably decorated with the shouting dissidents.

800- K gold, USA bronze
1500- USA gold
3kSt- K gold, USA silver
5k- USA silver
10k- K silver
Marathon- K gold, USA bronze
Difference is 2 golds vs 2 bronze and a silver. Point Kenya, but I wouldn't get too cocky, especially as doping controls will only get better from here on out.
...and your 5k silver is Kenyan...so....
Eliud and Jemima. Kenya wins both the men's and women's marathon. Has that ever happened? And both won a little road race in London too.
PS. Apologies if anyone's insulted by my OTT celebration but some of you were just plain nasty about Kenya after that disaster in the 15. We needed this and Eliud delivered. In a short time, this has actually turned into one of our best Olympics ever.
No one is in Eliud's league at the moment. All-time great who burst into prominence with that 5k WC win over El G and KB in Paris. The WR next year in London.

Sign of decline of American technology. While I travel a lot for work, I wouldn't live there if you paid me. Rift Valley is where it's at, baby 🇰🇪 â¤ï¸ ðŸ…
In Tokyo 2020 Kenyan will win 0 distance/mid distance medals. The only way they will get a medal is by entering men in women's races, which they have already started to do in desperation. The tide has turned. Just as the once-dominant Russian and Romanian gymnasts have disappeared, so will the Kenyan runners. Inferior athlete training/infrastructure and corruption/doping. But it was a great run will it lasted.
Tokyo:
Murphy - 800m GOLD
Centro - Repeat 1500m GOLD
Centro - 5000m GOLD
Jenkins or Chelimo (that hurts) - 10,000m GOLD
Rupp - Marathon GOLD

The mind is the first to go LOL. Get used to seeing Kenya's back sides ... from a DISTANCE. Yeah!

As an American fan of distance running, I spent as much time in front of the set this morning talking about what remarkable strength and fantastic form Kipchoge showed. There are many ways for a great runner to win a race; this morning I felt as though we'd been shown one more way. Rather than a big hard move, he just cranked the pace down and down until everybody fell away. And then, alone, he continued to motor on, looking fantastic.
It's no discredit to Rupp to have lost to a man like that--or to Desisa. This was Rupp's SECOND marathon. He's never raced international competition at that distance. Given that fact, and also given the less than ideal weather (95% humidity is nobody's idea of good conditions, although Kipchoge actually insisted that he liked the rain and "cool"), I don't believe that anybody could have expected a better result from Rupp. This really was about as good as he was going to do on a day like this--and he deserves congratulations for that.
I look forward to seeing Rupp and Kipchoge go at it again--in London, perhaps, or Berlin.

You are aware 2/3 of the Kenyan marathon squad didn't even finish, right?
Isn't 2:08 the slowest marathon Kipchoge has ever ran?

Am a kenyan and this stupid guy should stop insults, here at letsrun we are civilized, we can all agree usa great distance wise this olympics, appreciate other people, kipchoge did great as we expected, Rupp is phenomenal, i ran truck in college n always respected him ,
We don't insult each other here.

Just like 3:50 was the slowest 1500 Centrowitz has ever run.

Kam hasn't been fit since before the trials, Ndiku is coming off and injury but I'll give you Kiprop, ran the dumbest race in history. Should rightly hang his head in shame. But then, Eliud just came and erased those (few) hiccups and helped us to one of our best Olympics ever. Kenya completed the double in the men's and women's marathon. SURREAL!
But you work there because someone pays you right? Do you work for free?
But yeah Kipchoge was fantastic, have a good day sir ;)
