    Centro is done as a National class 1,500m runner, total absence of presence, competitiveness. What else is sad is that if Hocker was a world class runner, which he could be but isn’t now, he would be in Europe, which is where you currently find Nuguse, our only real world class 1500m runner.

    • @heightdevil
      @heightdevil Рік тому +7

      Centro was pretty mid even in his prime, his Olympic gold was 100% just because of his sprint ability and in his prime years he didn't have great competition to be honest. Not that I could do better but still it's kinda disrespectful to put him in the title when he wasn't even in contention
