Victory for the Ouma group
Manangoi tried to challenge him on the backstretch and and Cheruiyot just sprinted to keep the lead and ballgame over. It nearly did in Manangoi. That tatic of going hard with 300 to go is only going to destroy both of them if it works.
Crazy no women went under 11 in the 100.
Season is almost over. He picked up $50,000 for that win and a #1 ranking likely.

They had rabbits. How did they manage to run the 2nd k in 2:55?! That's such a disappointment. I mean 3rd place and 8:13 doesn't even get you a set of steak knives. I agree with the time trial idea. Maybe they could even use one of those pace lights like they used to on the pro circuit in the 70s. If he doesn't get under 8:00 this season it may never happen.
First rabbit did his job, 2:37 first K. Field was about 2:40, but then Kipruto slowed up (while the rabbit got farther and farther ahead) and everyone was stacking up behind him ... no one wanted to pass. That got you the crawling 2:55 second K.
Weird tactics. With perfect weather and Kipruto down a shoe (and not at 100% even before that), you think someone would have tried going to the front and keeping it fast.
Granted I didn't see much of the race ... listened on the IAAF radio broadcast. Had a livestream going but between commercials and bad connection missed actually seeing most the race.

Lyles is the future
Noah Lyles 19.66 dominant win into the win.
Before it went off I almost posted -"Does anyone doubt how this will end up?"
Kid is so good and went undefeated as I predicted at start of year.
I don't think he's ever lost a DL 200m. Even last year when he was just 19.
19.67 for Lyles. 0.01s off Bolt's MR.

Can you translate this to english?
Lyles makes it obvious. Runs at a high level all year. Constant steady drip of drug.
Nike just needs to go away.
Wow, one black shoe one white shoe. Brilliant!
Wow, everyone wear black shorts and sublimated green top. Brilliant!
ugh.
What is the grouping/spread like for the women's 5k final? I see we're over 2k in but not sure how the field is spread out.
