Farah and the water station during the 5000m World Champs Final

Mo plays games with his opponents and he gas them all psyched out. That's why no one pushed in the 5000. They agreed to jog 4k and then race the last km - exactly what Farah wanted. I was astonished at the passivity of the Ethiopians.

Getting water on the run (I think he was the only one) - was Mo's way of telling the field - "hey I can drink, lose metres and still come back and win"

I am really convinced Farah psyches out the Ethiopians and Kenyans. If he wins the double next year he can retire as the most successful Championship runner of all time and his Champs record will probably never be equaled.

Good run by Rupp in 5th. Admirable.

Agreed. It was wonderful. If I was to sum up that race to anyone I would show them that little video clip. I wonder what it's like to know you can't lose?

He needed to cool himself off slightly by dumping it on his head. He was the only one to do it, and he won. Seems like a smart decision.

Yup. If you watch that bit again, you immediately see Kejelcha and Ndiku at the back instantly reacting to it by looking at him thinking "WTF???!!!"

Ummm, you are responding to A Duck (Eric L), for you're [sic] information.

You think that is impressive ? The winner of the 50K race walk stopped and took a dump in a Porta Potty at 35K and still came out with a 2 minute lead. He completed the entire pit stop in 25 seconds. Now that's impressive. Talk about intimidation - how would you feel if you lost a race to a guy who stopped mid-race to take a dump ?

I once had 6 dumps in various portaloos round the London marathon course. Teach me for eating dried apricots all the way there on the coach. Still ran 2.38, which I like to think stands as a 6 dump record!

You should get that certified. Do you have pics?

Mo was obviously inspired by Kiprop's toying with the field a few weeks ago.

Disclaimer: I've begun to like Mo.

That was badass. I'd like to see Bolt try that.

Clearly, the cup was full of adrenaline.

Just curious, are there big screens at each end of the stadium where the runners can see themselves on the screen? If not, then only the last 2 runners knew Mo even did it since Mo was in last place at the time.

I think Mo did it to entertain the crowds with his superiority. He was only 1100m into the race when he did it. I mean who needs water after three minutes into a race?

What would have been funny is if the pack knew he was doing this and took off and reeled off a couple of 60 second laps to make him think about it.
