London 2012 - silver medal.
2013 - 4th WC 10,000. 6-time U.S. champ in the 10,000, won both 10 and 5 in '12 Olympic Trials. Yeah, he only runs well in paced time-trials. Yes, he did run well against college guys too... 6x NCAA champion.
Ask an international agent what they think of NCAA or USATF wins in distance events. Yawn. Most of these weren't sub-28 or 27:30, let alone sub-27.
Thanks for illustrating what a FLUKE the slowest 10,000 silver since 1992 was.
Please, give me ONE example of Rupp WINNING A MAJOR INTERNATIONAL RACE.
