Formchart is not updated Fam scratched in the 10,000.

Now it is :-)

Abdi is only 4th? Any particular reason? I know we haven't seen much of him yet.

[Moura]

My pick:

Abdirhaman
Ritzenheim
Rupp

[26mi235]

I think that the younger guys (Rupp, Nelson, Ritz) will give the older ones a run for their money (but not sure of Ritz's condition).

Sunday I saw Ritz run 10x200 in about 26-27, with a jogging 200 interval. Father was coaching/timing him. Looked good.

Abdi finished 8th, lost 4 spots in final lap Moran, Meb and Smyth all passed him.

Man, Rupp has so much left in the tank.

[Jnathletics]

So, Rupp has a girlfriend? Someone just kissed him after the race and it wasn't the kissing bandit.

[EPelle]

Rupp, Ritzenhein and Nelson all 3.000m/3.200m high school state champions.

[Paul Henry]

Is this guy really the real deal?
