I really looked up to Chris solinsky because he was a bigger guy. Crazy that his career ended because he tripped over his dog go figure

@@chancetokubo from the wikipedia article "Beginning in 2011, Solinsky suffered a series of injuries. He developed a chronic left hamstring strain, which became an avulsion after Solinsky tripped over his dog. The injury required surgery, making it impossible for him to compete in the 2012 US Olympic Trials. In 2015, Solinsky suffered from an injury to his Achilles tendon, which led to a calf problem and a limp, and interfered with his ability to train for the 2016 US Olympic Trials."

@@chancetokubo it’s true but it’s not the whole story. It was pretty clear he was on the out. As you age you just can’t train that hard anymore. If he didn’t trip over his dog he probably would’ve competed in the Olympics that year, but it definitely didn’t end his career. He was already injured and it was bound to happen sooner or later. Still a phenomenal runner tho

I think Chris is now coaching at Oregon as an assistant coach. He was Parker Valby's cross-country coach at Florida last year (some may recall she had a great season, finishing 2nd at the national CC championship, and she was also runner-up in the NCAA 5,000 meters final).

Great video! I remember seeing Solinsky in High School Runner magazine back in the day. It was a huge shock when he didn’t make the Beijing team, but twice as big a shock when he dropped the sub-27. From a fan’s perspective that came out of absolutely nowhere. And since then we’ve had Rupp medaling and taking the US into the 26:40s, and Fisher in the 26:30s. We’ve come a long way!
