The 27-year-old Centrowitz, who has "Like father, like son" tattooed across his chest and "CITIUS" (Latin for "faster") on the back of his shoulder, had lobbied the four-time national 5,000 meters champion to get inked if he won Rio gold. "My dad is getting one this weekend, his first," Centrowitz told Reuters in a telephone interview. Centrowitz, winner of the last two Wanamaker Mile races at the Millrose Games, is doubling his distance this weekend, competing in the two-mile race with an eye toward his future when he might shift to longer distances. Centrowitz, who is coached by Alberto Salazar, said the Millrose event would a good challenge. "I think that would be a pretty cool way to end my running career," he said.
