The hurdles at Hayward aren't generally used at other venues, so I'm not sure what you were expecting.

He won 9th.
Clearly a typo. But you're 13, so I guess that's funny.

Agreed. Maybe they'll all catch malaria in Rio.
Hey guys, I feel you, but at least we got NASCAR and fishing to look forward this summer!
If it was she put on about 40 lbs in a month.

Allen 13.04! Was that Hannah Cunliffe he was hugging when he jumped into the stands?
Rupp would have beat that prisoner's dilemma just fine were he not coming off of already winning two Trials events. It can be done.
What were the 200m results? The live results page isn't loading for me
Gatlin, Merritt, Webb

Typical LRC response. "Prisoner's Dilemma" "Sit and kick" "You can't lead it's suicide" I've heard it all before and you know what? Only the losers keep repeating all that crap. It's just lame excuses. I'm glad the real talents won today. Mead, Lagat and Chelimo deserve that win. Overall though, that race was a sh*t stain on our sport and an indictment on why the US distance teams suck so bad at the Olympics.
Fair enough. That said, I think some of the best runners won. They may not sweep the medals, but I think all three are as good as the other runners people were hyping.

Apparently he accidentally took some kind of sleep aid before the semis:

I'm about done w/WCAP!
Didn't expect to see Rupp fade like that on the last lap. He looked like a lead balloon freefalling through the clouds. So did his last lap fade come because of his marathon training, or because he ran so hard in the 10K? I'm thinking the former.

Trollololoolll. What does that even mean?
Bernard Lagat interview should be up in a matter of seconds. Watch it here.

I was surprised to see Rupp fade that far too. He probably went a bit too hard with four laps remaining. Some will say he was doomed either way, but I think he may have had a shot if he had not forged ahead quite as much. [By the way--even Emil Zatopek would not be Emil Zatopek against the competition of our era, with no disrespect to the Czech locomotive.]
The interesting question is this--did Rupp help some guys more than others by going early, or was his gambit irrelevant to the ultimate outcome?
Chelimo seems hilarious based on his Twitter. Will we see US Army runners dominating for a while domestically and starting a new trend? Seems it may inspire other Kenyans to do it.

Glad someone agrees with me about Chelimo! I think he could be a fan favorite if everyone around here gave him a chance. As for WCAP, I'm not sure how appealing it will be for other fast runners in the future. It's a big commitment--you have to really want to be in the U.S.
