RIO DE JANEIRO -- After winning the 1,500-meter race Saturday night, Matthew Centrowitz went to the TV interview area, took off his jersey and wrapped the American flag around his upper body. Hidden underneath that flag was a tattoo across his chest that reads, Like Father Like Son.Centrowitz has the tattoo because his father, Matt Sr., also was a 1,500 runner in the 1976 Olympics. The younger Centrowitz said his father now will get a tattoo across his chest as well because of a bet they made based on how well he did in the Olympics.Depending on the color of the medal, the more say I have, Centrowitz said. I would say it should be Like Son Like Father. That would be a good tattoo but there arent many American 1,500 runners who can say they are like the younger Centrowitz. Certainly none in the past century. His victory made him the first American since Mel Sheppard to win gold in the 1,500 at the London Olympics in 1908. Thats not only 108 years ago, it also was the last time the Cubs won the World Series.Hmmm, maybe this is the year the Cubs will win the World Series.It hasnt sunk in. Nineteen oh-eight -- I dont know if anyone still is alive who was born then at this point, Centrowitz said. Its just an honor to represent the United States, an honor to bring this medal back home. Middle-distance runners for the U.S. -- there are so many guys Im honored to be mentioned with.Jim Ryun sent me an email before the race wishing me luck and saying he and his wife were praying for me. Hes a guy that got a silver medal (in the 1972 Olympics), and being mentioned with him and being part of history? Seeing guys like Sebastian Coe and him saying, Welcome to the club, Im like, Dude, is this real right now? It is real. American runner Leonel Manzano took silver in 2012, the highest previous U.S. finish since Ryun was second at the 1968 Olympics. Centrowitz finished fourth in the London Games but was determined to finish better in Rio.I dreamed about winning gold the last couple days, Centrowitz said. Then I thought if I got silver that I would be pleased. But at the end of the day, if I got silver, I would be a little disappointed. I just didnt know gold was attainable. Asbel Kiprop is one of the greatest milers ever. Watching him in the first heat galloping round the whole field, I was thinking, Damn, this will be a hard guy to beat in the final. Instead, it was Centrowitz who was the hard guy to beat.Those Cubs who also are trying to do something this year that has not been done since 1908 have been in first place virtually every day this season. Centrowitz was like that as well Saturday, leading almost the entire race. He so determinedly maintained his first-place position that any time a competitor, such as Ayanleh Souleiman, attempted to pass him or possibly passed him by perhaps a step, he would force himself back into the lead.Forget it pal, you are not beating me.After winning with a time of 3:50.0, just .11 seconds ahead of Algerias Taoufik Makhloufi, Centrowitz circled the track, proudly carrying the U.S. flag in his raised arms. While doing so, he saw his father in the stands.I yelled at him, Are you kidding me? Centrowitz said, and he yelled back at me, Are you f---ing kidding me? And we went back and forth.An American gold in the 1,500. No, the Centrowitzs were not kidding anyone. Although the Cubs still have a challenge ahead before their fans are not kidding each other.
