Evan would've run 7:57-7:58. READ what I post, before replying.

Watch how many seconds **AHEAD** exactly...

He ran 8:00. Even the last hurdle counts.

Video/pause shows 1.9 seconds ahead when clearing the last hurdle.

I'd say 7:57 flat had he not fallen

I don't know how likely this is but I wonder if Birech would have closed as hard of Jager hadn't fallen?

1.9 seconds. I'll take your word for it. 7:57-low, given the winner's mad-sprint. The 7:56 "for sure" and 7:55 talk are ludicrous.

His fall lasted 3 seconds, so that's 7:57 if he would have kept the same pace. However, had he not fallen and had to start again from an unexpected dead stop at the end of such a fast race, I think he would have been able to kick harder at the end, so I say 7:56-something.

I wonder too. I think Birech would've closed serious ground, with a chance of catching Jager.

People don't want to hear it- But watch Robbie Andrews finish at USATF, nipping Manzano.... or N.Symmond's finish.... or Manzano's Silver finish. That lead has been erased before- & Birech was sprinting.

Best post in every thread about this question.

Hey, I'm giving props to tx!

Jager was 1.9 seconds ahead. The winner was 7:58.83, with a mad-sprint after the fall, that Jager's never shown. If he did- 7:56.93. But that mad-sprint would've ate up ground. 7:57-7:58.

Anyone insisting 7:55-56 needs to answer to my last post. But they haven't, because they have no answer to support their argument.

Moron. No one insists that anymore.

Agreed. All I needed to read was "ttc" before I replied.

3 threads are insisting it. Hire a tutor.

Good, then you can unknot your panties now, sit down, relax and have a toke.

Defer to Malmo on this one.He knows the race , he knows Jager ability for sure.

Let him figure it out.

He was up and running in 2.5 seconds from the time he hit the track.

The field clock as they round into the home straight is .1 ahead of video clock time. He begins his leap at 7:47.0 1.8 seconds ahead. (not 1.9 as earlier stated). I think he was fairly exhausted and would not have been able to kick any harder even if he had not fallen. No way he goes faster than sub 7:57 even with a bit of a kick off final barrier.

He is capable of 7:55 though and will need that to ensure a gold. The last 500 of the World champs will be sub 60 pace most likely.

Phew, TF for that. wrote:

A toke's not the only thing he's pulling on.

That's still pretty GDMFing fast!

7:57-high. ***Evan was 1.5 seconds ahead*** approaching the barrier. The winner was 7:58.83, & mad-sprinted the end. If Evan maintained the lead, then 7:57.3. I don't thing Evan would've mad-sprinted as fast. But if he did- 7:57.3.

READ BEFORE REPLYING:

The 7:55 talk is ignorant. Watch how many seconds exactly to the decimal Evan was when approaching the final barrier, then subtract from 7:58.83 as a starting point.
