hate to say it but I watched that video multiple times to see what happened to Solinsky...I don't see the push. Yes, the view is blocked but watch Merga, he holds form the whole time. Plus the position of Solinsky relative to Merga at that point makes an intentional push very difficult.

The idea that shoving for position with several laps to go is "part of real racing" is ludicrous. Makes me think that the commenter may have never been part of "real racing"

"was it Merga that knocked out both Rupp and Solinsky? Suprised no one is talking about this. After watching Merga's tactics (i.e. bumping) at the Prefontaine 10K I think something needs to be done about this guy."

Nothing needs to be done. Our guys need to toughen up. That's part of real racing. Hold your ground or you're going to get beat. Notice that neither Rupp nor Solinsky are making a big deal out of this. Salazar said Rupp needs better race tactics. It's part of the game.

"Legat is at least 10 years older than Farah and is still running PR's and setting AR - Amazing! "

His chemist is a great guy. One of the top in the business.
"He's immature and needs to sit out a few races until he can learn to behave himself. "
This is just stupid.

Legat is at least 10 years older than Farah and is still running PR's and setting AR - Amazing! But that race was horrible and a nasty pushing match! Merga should certainly be disqualified for his aggressive behavior. Rupp was shoved, not pushed to the ground and Solinsky got tripped and then shoved off the track by another runner. They both could have been right there at the end as well! There's nudging people and tapping others but you cant push them in that manner! Diamond League officials like the controversies that bring attention to the sport but competitors suffer. Al Sal should file a petition against Merga for unsportsmanlike conduct. I saw him push aggressively another athlete during the 5K in Paris or shortly before that meet. He's immature and needs to sit out a few races until he can learn to behave himself.

Jeremy Becraft, of course he was gonna do the test to get it ratified, that wasn't really an option, don't be silly.

shame no discussion as of yet about Rupp and Solinsky. I was really looking forward to this this race. I thought Farah would win going in, thinking something around 12:48. He seems unbeatable right now, and I'm happy for him. I also thought that Rupp would be close behind. Really think Rupp is capable of low 12:50's right now. Thought this was to be the race where it would happen. Solinsky was well on his way to another sub 13:00, but I think Rupp is the American to watch outside of Lagat of course.

They did not select him to get tested. He voluntered so he could get his record ratified. How could someone say that he did not volunteer? How someone can not put that together (James Kraft) is beyond me.

Totally deserved it.

James Kraft 2 years ago

He needed that test so it could be ratified! Wasn't voluntarily...

Congratz, Lagat. You've earned it.
