Galen Rupp tripped and fell with three laps left in Friday's 5,000 meters at the Diamond League meet in Monaco. Here is a view of the rash on his right shoulder after the fall.
Not sure if this photo of Galen Rupp’s red shoulder comes from the crash he sustained in Friday’s race or the floor of the airport terminal he slept in. (See below).
Just kidding. This picture was definitely taken after Rupp was tripped up and fell with three laps left in the 5,000 meters at Herculis, site of Friday’s Diamond League meet in Monaco.
He was on personal record pace at the very least. Soon after Rupp left the race, Portland-based runner Chris Solinsky appeared to be shoved off the track and into some potted plants.
Oh by the way, Mo Farah broke the British record with 12:53.11 and Bernard Lagat broke the U.S. record in 12:53.60.
Where would Rupp or Solinsky finished?
Alberto Salazar, who took this picture, also texted to say:
“Scratched up and sore but upbeat, ran good hard workout after, not tired. Has to learn to stay out of trouble.”
Another hard lesson.
