  1. it was nice to see the americans meb keflexighi and abdirahman abdihaikem
    being competitive in the men's 10,000 meters final at the world
    championships.

  2. is it fair to say Meb was "competitive" in the men's 10K final when he
    dropped out of the race with 10 laps remaining with a sore right
    quadriceps muscle?

    I'm a big Meb fan....but don't you have to be in the race in the final
    stages before you can be characterized as "competitive" in the race?

    10 laps just strikes as an awful long way out......heck...I gotta think
    many of the other runners had not yet even employed their strategy,
    mounted their challenge, etc....in other words...Meb DNF'ed prior to
    answering the challenges of much of the field....

    he's an unbelievable superstar but his early departure left a lot
    unknown on how he would have faired in the final 10 laps....no? he
    might not have been competitive...just as Radcliffe was not in coming
    in 9th.

    Are you being facetious? Meb DNFed and Abdi was so far back he was
    practically in Sweden.
