@blinkmefx centrowitz bronze at worlds that year, thats not too bad progress. but yes these races have to get quicker
-
@blinkmefx did you watch worlds? matt centro got third right behind two kenyans
-
embarrassing race. no wonder mens US distance running has been a joke for so long. doesn't look to be changing anytime soon either.
-
@mamowolde eh, possibly. Lagat has very, very efficient form. The best runners never look tired, even when they are flat out sprint. Hes probably just more efficient than Centro at this point in their careers, thus him looking more relaxed.

It clearly looks like Lagat didnt give it his all. He knew Centro is american..oregon based and a young gun. He knew the win would have more meaning over just another kenyan transfer winning. Look at him...centro is straining and grimacing on the kick and lagat just seems to coast it in. After all Lagat has 1500m medals to show for it...he knew he had nothing to prove

I understand that rounds can play a roll in planning a strategy for a champion style race but beyond that, this type of pussy-footin' around really pisses me off. That is not what middle-distance and distance runners are supposed to do. We are trained to step to the line each and every time planning to run until our legs fill with acid, our lungs burn begging for oxygen, and our eyes fog over. This sport needs distance runners to push themselves; not ones that pretend to be sprinters.

How about some love for Leo Manzano? Finished 3rd
You guys are idiots. Lagat is peaking for August and ran rounds and a 5000m the night before, and he still kicked everyone's ass but one. Lagat is still one of the best 1500m runners in the world, and he's training for the 5000m. Just because he's not a 3:26 guy any more doesn't mean he's done.

What a slow ass race. A 2:11 at the 800! High school kids can do that.
