Seriously. How many athletes has he worked with in the past four years? 20? And how many will make the team this summer? 2?
Terrible record for the best recruiter but single WORST developer of elite athletes in the US. (Honestly, tell me who has a worse record with elites than old "dream-wrecker." The only man alive who could somehow keep Dathan Ritzenhein and Mary Cain OFF of the Olympic team!)
You seem to have lost your counting abilities.
NOP will likely send at least 4 athletes to Rio:
Farah
Rupp
Centowitz
Rowbury
A few others who may well be in Rio
Jenkins
Levins
Osako
You are an idiot. You post is just proving how FEW NOPers improve significantly or show sustained high performance under Salazar, the greatest RECRUITER and worst DELIVERER in track and field.
Farah will not be "sent by NOP to Rio." He has nothing to do with them. He is embarrassed by any association with the group, deeply concerned about the allegations and only remains connected (and in name only) for contractual rea$ons. The fact he doesn't even wear the skull, the shallowest and easiest way to show any allegiance, says it all.
Levins has had the last four years of his career written off thanks to training with NOP. He isn't even the top distance runner in Canada now, which really takes some massive screwing up for a guy now wallowing through his prime years after being on top as a college junior. Osako's story is equally bad.
Ritz? Write-off. Wasted his prime years with Salazar.
Cain? Write-off. Most promising junior outside of Africa until Salazar got his hands on her, now won't even make the Olympics.
Moser? Hasay?
Maybe Pappas will break 32 this year?
