Tegs looked very relaxed in coasting to win. Impressive. Now hopefully Dobson and Lagat can do likewise.
Great run by Teg..We'll have to see what he can do when its faster and for real, but he just waited in the back until it was time. I was really hoping he'd do the Bolt after he crossed the line
Was it that close, where he couldn't have done only enough to advance??
True, Bekele and Kipchoge weren't trying to win, but Teg looked so good. He looked like he could have run 52.
Next up Dobson. I have a bad feeling about this one.
SULLY SULLY SULLY
No Ramzi.
Six guys hit the final stretch together, maybe five. He was a bit boxed behind TB, EK, and one other guy with about 50 to go, but it opened up. He could have conserved a bit energy and settled for second or third. But it would have involved easing up only the last 20 meters.

He is blogging for the CBC and they aren't showing live. Ridiculous.

There were 6 runners right on top of each other with 100 meters to go... Teg's kick was just superior.

Cragg has to wait and see - tough for a guy who just closed in 55 seconds but thats the way it goes :(
Dobson, Sully in the middle. Moderate to slow pace.
