#65	Michael Jaros   May 17 at 9:07am SHAM WOW SAYS WOW EVERY TIME! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO reply
#64	Anonymous Coward   March 3 at 4:10pm is there video of his 3.55 mile he just ran? reply
#63	Coe Isnt As Fast   February 25 at 10:54pm he actually just ran it again a week later for the cameras reply
#62	Michael Jaros   February 21 at 9:26pm ya what is the story of how this was found reply
#61	Anonymous Coward   February 18 at 8:43pm What's the story behind how this finally was found? reply
#60	Nick Snyder   February 18 at 11:41am Both of those guys are amazing to watch run. reply
#59	Tony Payne   February 18 at 10:36am The kid is simply amazing. He just turned 18 a couple months ago, right? This race, the Jr XC, and the 7:47 3k in Seattle. Just simply amazing. The kid is on fire right now. And in that XC race he crushed Derrick and Puskedra. I dont mean to put them down, they ran well and are both great runners, but he handed it to them. And we know Derrick is in shape after his 13:44. Wow....just wow. I'm looking forward to see what those three do at world XC. Let's hope #4 and #5 runners actually show up, too. reply
#58	Actually   February 18 at 9:48am Chris Cowden said: “It's kinda amazing to me that no one seems to even care much about the kid who ran 1 second behind German with a 3:57. And the pacer should get much of this credit for running them out nearly perfectly and doing the work for the first half.” Dorian got a lot of pub for running a second behind him. Well deserved, in fact. reply
#57	Wow   February 18 at 9:33am I split the race on my watch and if I'm not mistaken i believe he went negative: 1:59/1:57. Thats pretty impressive strength for January. reply
#56	Victor LeMay   February 18 at 8:33am Did john kosgei drop out? reply
#55	Chris Cowden   February 18 at 7:56am It's kinda amazing to me that no one seems to even care much about the kid who ran 1 second behind German with a 3:57. And the pacer should get much of this credit for running them out nearly perfectly and doing the work for the first half. reply
#54	TJ   February 18 at 7:30am What acceleration! I know everyone's been talking up Ulrey too, and with good reason given his other races, but he got smoked on the last lap. reply
#53	Wow!   February 18 at 1:38am Amazing. reply
#52	Tony Hernandez   February 18 at 12:11am Thank you-Thank you-Thank you! Go Team USA at X-C Worlds! reply
#51	Eric Moore   February 17 at 11:30pm wow so sick. reply
#50	Go German   February 17 at 11:22pm what shoes is he wearing? they look like vents 2? i almost gave up hope that their would not be a video. next to be world junior xc champ. reply
#49	Anonymous Coward   February 17 at 11:15pm yeah i know kevind i was kicking myself when i found out it was such a big deal. reply

#45	Flotrack   February 17 at 9:53pm what would we do without flotrack reply
#44	El   February 17 at 9:53pm Dan Knewitz said: “I don't know if I've ever felt so certain that someone was perfectly designed to run.” Sorry. Hicham El Guerrouj....greatest stride ever reply
#43	Dan Knewitz   February 17 at 9:39pm I don't know if I've ever felt so certain that someone was perfectly designed to run. reply
#42	O Yea   February 17 at 9:31pm They're lucky the pace went out so fast. Look what happened at the Tyson Invitatonal...what a disaster!!!!!! reply
#41	Hhahah   February 17 at 9:24pm Kevind- hahahah lmao your comment haahahah "Your claim to fame could have come much earlier if you had a video camera instead!" reply
#40	Mark_in_Oly   February 17 at 8:48pm Anonymous Coward said: “I would like to know why everyone is in such an unhealthy love affair with this kid. Yeah, he's great, but come on! I watched a vid the other day where the announcers were saying things like, "yeah, but wait until German gets going." We're playing favorites now? What if he has a bad race, are you going to throw him under the bus? He's got enough pressure on him without you all naming him the second coming of yaweh.” Have you watched the Youtube videos of Seb Coe? The British announcers seem like they're reciting love poems to the guy! reply
#39	Mark_in_Oly   February 17 at 8:45pm That's a 28 flat last 200, and he hasn't done any real speedwork yet! He was sick last Saturday and wasn't phased by the best Coe could offer! reply
#38	kevind   February 17 at 8:45pm Anonymous Coward said: “haha im in the video taking pics of it at 1:06 my claim to fame, i got to cheer on german.” Your claim to fame could have come much earlier if you had a video camera instead! reply
#37	Anonymous Coward   February 17 at 8:44pm haha im in the video taking pics of it at 1:06 my claim to fame, i got to cheer on german. reply
#36	Jmadr0216   February 17 at 6:46pm YOU ARE REDICULOUS London '12 FTW reply
#35	kevind   February 17 at 6:17pm Should be a video on how it came to be sometime this week. There is an actual story behind how it went from 'not existing' to 'there it is'. re: 'jerry' - no ... it has nothing to do with any other sites who have, or don't have the video up. heaven forbid a fascinating story be brought out into the public about the time and effort that went into finding it. reply
#34	Anonymous Coward   February 17 at 6:10pm am i the only person who is interested in how this video actually surfaced?!? reply
#33	Anonymous Coward   February 17 at 6:09pm I would like to know why everyone is in such an unhealthy love affair with this kid. Yeah, he's great, but come on! I watched a vid the other day where the announcers were saying things like, "yeah, but wait until German gets going." We're playing favorites now?

#32	WAXC   February 17 at 5:50pm thank god for technology reply
#31	D***   February 17 at 5:28pm And the gods said they shall call him German reply
#30	JLF   February 17 at 4:37pm wow...German always looks so smooth when he runs. That was an awesome finish! congrats German! reply
#29	Qsuriname   February 17 at 4:25pm looking good. I hope German gets on the podium at world cross. reply
#28	Anonymous Coward   February 17 at 3:58pm nice video. reply
#27	Okstate Fasdfnd   February 17 at 3:57pm wow unbelievably smooth! he almost reminds me of el guerrouj with how comfortable he looks simply amazing reply
#26	Yeah   February 17 at 3:41pm kevind, i get what your saying but the crowd was mostly disappointed because they thought Dorian had that one in the bag. but the PA guy should have been a little more excited about it, amazing run nonetheless. reply
#25	kevind   February 17 at 3:31pm awesome. didn't seem like the PA or crowd knew the immediate significance. reply
#24	WOW   February 17 at 3:25pm That was nuts!! What is most impressive about this kid is how smart he runs, so controlled, very very nice. I'm happy I got a chance to see this. reply
#23	Jimmy Bryant   February 17 at 3:24pm Thats ridiculous! reply
#22	MikeyB   February 17 at 3:20pm there is a higher power thanks reply
#21	Steve   February 17 at 3:19pm I told you guys I would come through, GEEEZZ reply
#20	Admire   February 17 at 3:13pm agreed with matthew schneider. his big mistake at footlocker last year was thinking he had to cover EVERY move, now he lets the race come to him reply
#19	Matthew Schneider   February 17 at 3:08pm most impressive thing about German as a freshman, despite knowing big things are expected of him and probably knowing personally he can throw down some big times, he is able to run so smart and controlled early. he doesnt make mistakes like leading early or thinking he has got to run away in order to do something big. every race I watch of him is so impressive. in highschool he was used to having such tremendous leads yet here in college already he looks so comfortable in the pack and then finishing with force. reply
#18	Run For Fun!!!   February 17 at 2:34pm Flotrack never disappoints reply
#17	Isaac Fall   February 17 at 2:29pm That was an awesome race! reply
#16	M V   February 17 at 2:23pm updated with a higher quality video, watch it full screen for better quality reply

#12	SteveB   February 17 at 1:39pm He is too smooth...56 second last quarter on the 200m track! Thats sick reply
#11	I Spy   February 17 at 1:37pm Ulrey now that I have had the opportunity to see 2 of his mile races, is quite the front runner. He led Willis for a while there at tyson. reply
#10	David Golub   February 17 at 1:29pm sickkk reply
#9	How Does   February 17 at 1:27pm So, in the first month of 2009, the best race of the entire year may already have occurred. No? reply

#4	Jambo Cabao   February 17 at 1:07pm Unbelieveable run too! The way he made those moves around people was effortless, and that last 200 was blazing! He owned! Can't wait to see him in a 5000. reply
#3	Hooray!   February 17 at 1:04pm My prayers have been answered! reply
#2	Karl   February 17 at 1:00pm HOLY CRAPOLY!! I knew it would show up some time! reply
#1	Jambo Cabao   February 17 at 12:59pm NOOOOO WAYYYYY!!!!! And just about everyone had given up hope! reply
