Hope it's ok to start an Olympic thread (didn't see another, except a specific thread on the Russians); but go ahead and merge if necessary.
Did you all see some of the track & field trials last night? Keep you eye on this U of Oregon runner - Galen Rupp. Holy crap; he's a beast in the 10K as laps about 1/3 of the field. They said his training program consists of running 145-miles per week @?@!!

Qualifying for the Marathon + 10K and 5K is insane; if he even medals in all three will be astounding; gold would be unbelievable.

In February, Rupp qualified for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games in the marathon in his very first attempt at the distance. Then on Friday night, Rupp won the 10,000-meter at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Track and Field. And on Monday, he’ll run the first round of the 5,000, another event in which he is a favorite to qualify for the Olympic team
