Men's Marathon

I'm team Meb!!!!!

It will be interesting to see how Rupp does after doing the double.

[clseale]

I just freaked in the other thread because NBC was all screwed up, but it's fixed & we're watching!

[clseale]

Swooning over Nike's track. I would have no issue doing my speed work there!

[clseale]

That teamwork! From people not even on the same teams. <3 (Yes, I'm just talking to myself in here.)

[katinthehat]

Just woke up. Didn't think it started until 9 for some reason.

[sweetiesparkles]

Go Meb!

I'm supposed to be up and out right now but watching in the couch is too much fun 😄. I'll go out after they finish.

We had to rewind it to watch that, I was impressed. It probably helps them all to have less jostling at the stations.

[katinthehat]

What was up with that back off motion? Rupp is going to bump a lot more coming from the track.

[cole]

Go Meb!

I still don't like Rupp.

My deep thoughts this morning.

[mrshandy]

Something happened with Meb. I don't think it's his day.

[gt7301b]

Nooooo... Come on Meb!

[katinthehat]

No Meb

[keweenawlove]

Poor Meb. No!!!!

I wanted to work there so bad. My resume made it to a hiring manager for an opening a few years ago. We had a phone interview set up but they never called. I could never get a hold of her after that. I'm still bitter at them for getting my hopes up and not even doing the interview.

I'm surrounded by people who work or worked there. It's really not as great as you'd think it would be.

They have a beautiful gym and track, and you do see elite athletes around constantly, but other than that, not so awesome for actually working.

[clseale]

These commentators are the WORST. Desisa isn't even competiting, assholes. FFS, get their names right.

[chw57]

Can Galen move up into 2nd? He ditched the hat so it's go time!

He's closing a bit!!

[keweenawlove]

Down to 6 second gap!

[chw57]

Does it seem like there is a ton more security for this race than the women's?

[clseale]

Nice fight!! I want to see Meb!

[clseale]

Go Ward!!!!!!!

[chw57]

Ahhhh so close. And OMG Jared ward!!

I thought they said that it was that because a spectator tried to jump on the course toward the end of the woman's race.

[taratru]

Ahhh, Meb!!!!!

[keweenawlove]

Could Rupp say "you know" any more in this interview.

Granted I can't be too critical of him. I can't imagine having to string together coherent words after a marathon.

[taratru]

While thrilled for the medal, I do not like Rupp. Like, at all. Ward, though! He did so well!

He just seems so smug. All the other guys are congratulating each other and he's just like, "Whatever"

Ohhh Ok good, because that was ridiculous that people kept jumping onto the women's course
