Thanks for that.

Class race. The guy who got third Christian Smith must be on cloud nine. That's what I love about the US trials if you finish in the top 3 and have the qualifying time you go. Helps get rid of some of the politics involved in selecting a team.

Great race. Oregon clean sweep. Symmonds is a medal threat in Beijing.

Wow, what a race. Had been in the states last week and they're building the 1500m like an olympic final. I see all the big guys made the final. Hope it's as good as the 800.

Great race, Though Smith was in a bad spot with about 300 m to go, But everyone just parted to give him an easy run to the line( if you can have an easy run) .
