Great Job Bernard!! It was an awesome race to watch. I love the positive attitude.
I'm thinking he's going to prove something next year. He's finished second to two of the greatest long distance/mid distance runners (Bekele/Hicham El Geroujj). His time is still coming. He's going to do something big.
That was a close one Bernard. Great job today... 2nd place with stitches...unreal and true warrior... Great way to represent the US and distance running period.Third in the 1,500 and Second in the 5,000. Still deserves a hand of applause...

If their size difference were reversed, and Berke were much bigger than the Spaniard, the Spaniard would have been sprawled on the infield and Berke would have been DQ'd. That is the facts!”
I bet she wouldn't try that in the 800. She pushed her war through because she was bigger.

The next time you pass Bekele in the homestretch at the World Championships, report back, and we'll determine how valid that staement is.
Kenyan / Kenyan American, he is running for us. We are proud of him. We all came from different places. He is a great role model along with our other amazing 5k guys. We are getting there!
I am proud to watch him represent us! I just wish a was a minute and ten seconds faster at 5000m, so I could hang near him today! HAHA ... In my dreams!!! I go one speed, no kick!!! But watchin him makes me wanna be better!
@bad: 'decisively' passing bekele isn't a good idea. as bekele has repeatedly demonstrated, there is no good way to pass him, as he can match you at any speed and then drop a kick from it
He's such a great guy, heads always high and a good role model as well. He still has more to come, I can't wait he makes races so exciting. Great Job USA!
