SAINT-DENIS, France -- For so much of his career, Grant Fisher has felt like an outsider in his own sport.But now, as a bronze medalist, the American is as much a 10,000-meter insider as anybody.
"There's a handful of guys that have made it to the top 3, but they're few and far between," Fisher said."The narrative when I was a kid was the U.S., you just can't run with the East African guys. You can't run with the best European guys. And I hope I showed that I'm capable of that.""It sets the standard of what Americans can do at this event going forward," Young said.
Lately, Fisher has started feeling like he can have an impact on his sport similar to the one Mills had. "That was one piece of the puzzle that bumped me up one second over the course of a 10k, and I think it was a big piece," Fisher said."You look at everyone that medals in the 10k year after year, pretty much everyone lives at altitude."
