Nico’s form is a night and day improvement over what it was a few years ago. Brilliant performance for being so young (no pun intended) and I’m looking forward to seeing what he can do in his junior and senior years

[@cber5077]

Agreed; stride and tactics/positioning in this race were excellent. He was beaten by much older guys with better kicks, but even so, his last lap speed has improved.

[@DancewithLorelie]

@@cber5077 yes! Nico's form is so much better, maybe perfect? He did great!

[@bethanymclean2136]

@@cber5077 Yeah, I'm glad that the level in the NCAA is so high right now but at the same time it feels a little wrong that I'm the same age as Olin (5 years older than Nico) and I graduated undergrad 3 years ago. Overall it'll prepare him better for when/if he goes pro but it feels a little ridiculous that there's so many 24-26 year old guys in the NCAA.

[@JohnDoe-dn8yh]

You guys are on here acting like the kid is 30. He's 25. Not much difference between a 22 year old and a 25 year old. Blame the NCAA for shutting down for a year and a half for covid if you're that upset. BYU's average age on their XC squad is older than Olin....

[@TheBowman5]

Lot of weird Nico comments here. Underclassmen very very rarely win these kind of races - he ran fantastic, and will be winning for years to come. The fact Olin is a 7th year is a testament to him sticking with it for this long. That means he had to deal with a regular year of redshirting + injuries + Covid year. Coming from another 25 year old, it's very hard to keep a fire burning for 7 years. Side note : every NCAA athlete runs against 25/26 year olds from BYU / Southern Utah every year - after 20, it's a pretty even playing field anyway.

it's one thing to cut away from a 5K on live TV but on KZbin you're posting for people who are passionate about distance running and want to see the whole thing uncut. Even if there's no commentary I'd rather see the whole race than see discuss and have random cuts partway through.

@@kanehiro4635 This comment is so dumb it hurts my brain. The Olympics are for professionals, they can be whatever age they want nobody cares. 7th year seniors have no place in the NCAA, move on already its an amateur competition. What a moronic comparison.

@@Whale15 doesnt really matter in running tbh. Jacob inge- is a prime example. You think he cares whether his competition is ‘his age’? Running is running, after high-school its ‘Men’s’ category, no longer ‘boys’. I think its well deserved for the guy that won. Its not like he’s won 7 years in a row. It took him 7 years to win imagine the disappointment of losing to someone that just entered sheesh; there its not a problem right?
