German Fernandez » M 3k (German last 3 laps)

very ballzy run by coe

Wow, thanks Ryan for setting these people straight. Now because YOU said it, they will believe what their eyes were already telling them and only a few people could figure out & that is that Coe did nothing wrong, period.
To Dear FloTrack.org...................did you really need Ryan to explain that video to you? Did you need his approval of the obvious?
If whoever called the race said a purple elephant was in third place and moving up fast, would you have believed that?

Poster #35 How dumb do you feel now? I don't THINK what happened, I know, but you obviously didn't. You failed with your short essay. Good Day!
Nice site Ryan and keep up the good work. Congrads on the recent 2:30 plus marathon.

Can you please settle this once and for all. Did you not state the facts correctly when you "Misspoke" about the race? Please tell us your version in writing what you witnessed. Thanks

Poster Number 32...........................You need new glasses! Seek immediate help. He mentioned Coe running him to the outside because of the angle and the fact that he "misspoke" and should have immediately corrected himself, but didn't. Coe was nowhere near the 2nd lane, but in the middle of the first, just as German was when Coe had passed him earlier. The lack of intelligence on this board is scary! The video doesn't lie, it tells the truth which is Coe did nothing to make German run further. Ask yourself this. Was Coe on the outside line of lane 2? No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, not even close. The commentator didn't lie, he misspoke during the heat of the race and should have retracted his statement. You guys are German wanna be's or just plain stupid! Watch the video again. Maybe after 100 times you'll get it. It only took me once.

Video doe not lie, neither does the commentator. Why else would he mention Coe running him to the outside. Coe did it because most likely he knew he could not outkick GF. They should have just named this race "Cheat to Win 3K".

I think it's kind of funny that every single anonymous poster thinks Mark does the announcing for every single video on the site.Although a seasoned traveler, he can't announce uw, iowa, bu, etc. in 24 hours.

Wow, you guys are wrong!!!

Thanks for the announcing Mark and for the great site, but you called that wrong. Look at it again. Coe did not run him wide. He was in the center of his lane, period. You should NOT have made that comment during the race and probably didn't mean to do so.
Personally, I would retrack it ASAP. Again, look at it again. Coe is running in the center of his lane all the way down the back stretch. He never pushed German wide. He was not running on the extreme inside and then jumped out to the middle of his lane. I've watched it several times and can't see what you're talking about. Sorry Mark, you called that one wrong.
They both ran great, but Coe did nothing wrong or even close to it. Look at 57 seconds into the video and German is in the center of lane one when Coe passes him. What's the difference?
Coe NEVER went wide Mark. You make great videos and a lot of great calls, but not that one.

Going wide is one thing. Coe looked over his shoulder, twice, and moved in front of German. Purposely blocking someone is a cheap ass move that deserves to be called out. Bad sportsmanship.

good to see coe back running some good 3ks (or 3200 is high school). reminds me of when he battles with forys in the 3200 at NIN, except he won that race.....

all i can say is wow

going wide is a legit tactic, anyone who says otherwise is a wuss. being able to go wide is one of the benefits of front running, I am sure Pre used it a lot (just to shut up all the high schoolers who are on his nuts and pre can do no wrong). Coe took the lead late in the race and made it an exciting one, give him some props.

thanks

8:25 for two miles.
