Rupp is definitely one of the best American Distance runners of the last 20 years. He has medaled in big tactical races. He has set records.

Today might have been that day.
Not sure what he was missing. He beat that guy at the Olympics and his 10k PR is 10 seconds faster.

Next time.
Rupp struggled with plantar fasciitis earlier this year, so there's a possibility that he wasn't really 100%.
Lots of TUEs you can get for plantar fasciitis. I think he probably was at a 100%...
