Here's the last 1k... wow!
Video is here:
Check the middle of the video. It's not the entire 5000, but you can see the middle and the end.

Magisterial. I now think Bekele gets that Marathon World Record over Kipchoge. Motivation is going to be through the roof now.
Cheptegei made it look easy. Well-paced and then he took off.
Nah, that's just the nail in the coffin. Bekele can retire now, as he will never get the 5000m, 10000m and marathon WRs at the same time.
Nah Bekele will just run 12:34 and then get marathon WR
Damn Timothy and Jakob both went 3:28

Incredible performance by Joshua Cheptegei at the Monaco Diamond League
Judging by how he looked at the last lap, I think he can still go much faster than that
Wow, that's totally awesome!
Thanks for sharing the news. Now to find the video!
How in the name of bejesus can anyone look so casual after crossing the line
Thank you. He looked so smooth. Great result.
Loved it. What a race. He looked so smooth.

Splash page warranted
Also set the world best for 1000m workout
5 x 1000m in 2:31.07 each with 0 seconds rest
What a run!

Nah, I think Gerry Lindgren had a better workout once.

This meet is just a who’s who of doping.
Ha!
I love how you only jump to doping after your first prediction made you look like an idiot.
Lots of microdosing going on in 2020? And do we know how many seconds faster these new "Dragonfly" spikes are? (Not just here - I have my doubts about BTC as well). Hard to know what a record means these days.
Obviously a great run, but its hard to put in context. Honestly making me less of a track fan these days.
Congrats Cheptegei! wrote:
Where were you able to find coverage? Could you insert s link? I just saw the result on Wikipedia, incredible!!
There’s a website called let’s run, they cover the event and have links to the TV and streaming information. It’s a horribly designed site but has good info
Jakob does not microdose. He has a pint of Norwegian Nectar with every meal.
