Where is this feller originally from? maybe Turkey?.

Yes, the performance by the so-called "team" allegedly

indicative of the level of performance to be expected by

Sorry Jim. "Flounder" is both an intransitive verb and a noun.
Linguists suspect that it came from "founder" but they aren't certain. It means
to struggle awkwardly or to speak or act in an awkward or confused manner. It is
slightly more appropriate in the context used below than "founder". I

My favorite was an article that appeared in the June, ?, 1970 issue of

A statistical note(s):
12 of the top 25 men & 14 of the top 25 women are listed as US athletes,
whether they are all citizens I do not know.
Not a bad performance from a nation w/o good marathoners in a race
touted as having one of the deepest fields ever.

Impressive nonetheless. I thought those names sounded too "African" to me,
they must have been listed by residence and not by nationality.

Yes, it was a good day in general for the Americans, and there were some
notable crash-and-burns among the foreigners. Americans ran more
conservatively, e.g., only Morris was with two minutes of the leaders as
early as 15k, and was a full minute back himself. Mack ran a very nice race
also.

The vast majority are U.S. citizens.
I've got to put in a plug for my friend Chris Junkermann (2:32, 7th woman in
her marathon debut). 18 months ago she was running 20 miles
Two women in the top 25. Not bad. Or just an indication that the field wasn't
quite that deep.
