Kiprop waited until the final 100 to make his move but once he went there was no doubt who was best as he quickly accelerated away from the field and was looking back with 15 meters to go to win in 3:51.89. Ayanleh Souleiman was second while little-known Kenyan Vincent Kibet was a surprising third.

BBC Sport:
Yes Farah had a rough marathon debut and then some health issues, but his track season has been a joke as he hasn't raced anyone.
The Guardian:
“I’d love to go back through my Twitter and pull out some of the tweets that have been sent to me even this year and give people an idea of what’s been written to me. Because at times it’s not nice to say the least. I think when you can go out there and win a few more major competitions it’s nice to rub it in slightly to those sorts of people, because they are not nice people. For me it’s become a bit of a campaign to shut them up a bit.”
“The long jump defines me as it currently stands,” Rutherford said. “I don’t expect it to define me for the rest of my life and building a family is hugely important. In 20 years’ time my career will be finished, done and forgotten but, all being well, my children will still be there.”
