TUCSON (USA): 41-year-old Bernard Lagat will make history next month in Rio as the oldest American ever to run at an Olympic Games but he confessed that never felt old. “I train with young guys. They push me every single day and at the end of the day, they tell me, ‘Man you make us really feel bad,’ because I don’t give up. If you believe that you’re old, you’re going to run like an old man,” Lagat said.
