Americans are never going to be good until we can get our most talented athletes healthy. Something is seriously wrong as our most talented athletes...webb, german, ritz, goucher, teg (until recently) are constantly hurt. I am sure the list goes on and on. There are a few exceptions but I feel as though our MOST talented athletes are constantly injured which keeps them on the same level as the slightly less talented athletes who don't get injured like solinsky, nelson, leer, fam, etc. I mean those are great runners, but I don't believe they are as talented as the guys listed above them.
It seems our most talented guys are often hurt, while the slightly less talented guys are able to stay in contention because they are healthy and can train hard. Do we have any durable, top talent guys?
What is your take?
