He already beat all Rupp's records. The only thing missing was olympic medals, and now he has one.
Yes, silver > bronze, but arguably the field was much better this year than in 2012. And Fisher was a whisker away from silver.
3k PR: Fisher 7:25, Rupp 7:30
2mi PR: Fisher 8:03, Rupp 8:07
5k PR: Fisher 12:46, Rupp 12:58
10k PR: Fisher 26:33, Rupp 26:44
Olympic finishes:
10k: Fisher 3rd & 5th, Rupp 2nd & 5th
5k: Rupp 6th, Fisher 9thIt is close - if Fisher can place in top 5 in the 5k next week, he has an even better case as GOAT.
The only track results from Rupp that should be acknowledged are from High School - PRE Salazar involvement.
From the "TUE" point in HS through the current results/records DO NOT count.
See: Mark McGuire and Sammy Sosa of MLB infamy. Everyone knows their home run "records" but they are not acknowledged as legit.
