And then again starting around 19:40 (only 40 seconds into the race) you can see him in the background on the left hand side chasing down the leaders
Nice find. Thank you.
+1
Look at 20:03–20:11 and you can see the crash (look under the middle red banner of the starting gate)

https://youtu.be/2naortKYfsI?t=20m20sWith the gun going off at 19:00, so he caught up with the leader within 90sec?? What pace is that accounting for him being down for 10secs? Must have been an incredible pace.
Rojo figured that KAMWARRIOR dropped at 62-second quarter!

Well I figured that at a minimum.
They ran the first 5k in14:10. That's 68 pace. He was down for 7 seconds. Now I gave him credit for moving slightly forward which was 6 seconds. So I said 62. B
But in reality, you are using a lot of energy to get up, and then you have to weave a lot. That would be if there was no one between them. He had to run a lot of extra ground. I'd say 2 more seconds for sure.
I still can't believe he was able to get up there. In looking at the videos,does anyone see the Ethiopian who helped him get up?
It was genius of him to weave to the far side so there would be no one there and less traffic.

I love how Paula and the announcer are talking for a minute about how difficult it will be for Geoffrey to come back while he's already been back in the lead pack the whole time.
What a beast he is.
And we could see him moving up on the screen.
I like how all the 70-75 minute losers are fighting for position like that at the beginning of a 70-75 minute run...
Nobody 's a loser out there . They are just doing their best . They are pushing their limit as much as Kamworor .And probably more,cos they are not so talented as top runners and also dont have some kind of special fuel .......so the pain when arrives is the same or even more

You, sir, are a complete and utter fool. They are not pushing their limit more than Kamworor.

That was simply the shortest route on the curve, but just as crowded and even more dense as the rest of the field.
What helped the most was those were 1:15 runners and faster as he kept moving up, not joggers.
Big guy, I did an estimate in another thread :
According to Guardian newspaper he ran 1st mile in 4'15 whilst leaders ran 4'30 & he caught them by 80s : a handicap of 15s
However, he didn't catch them by a mile let alone 5k, he caught the pack 80s into the race !!!
Therefore he caught the pack in 80 - 15s = 65s
The pack had by 80s run ~ ( 80 / 4'30 ) * 1609.344 = 477m
His speed for this 477m was 477 / 65 = 7.34m/s
That is ~ 54.5 pace for 400 & he kept going at that pace for another 77m !!!
He was down for ~7 seconds, not 15. That comes out to 61-62 still using your method. Still extremely impressive, but not unbelievable like the 54.5 you claim.
Does that account for the zig-zagging? What about the emotional energy?
Seriously, what kind of loser trips and falls at the beginning of a race? This looks like amateur hour.

The camera suggests that some core work and form changes could help hold the torso and head more still.
Your comment suggests that you are a moran.
What's a "moran"?
A moran is someone who's been on LRC for more than two days.

It looked a lot less like amateur hour when that loser blew away the field and crossed the finish line yards ahead of the nearest runner.
what's a moran? a moron that can't spell.

"He ran the first mile in 4 minutes and 15 seconds to catch up and was soon sitting prominently in the pack"
according to this it was 15s
that's what you get if you subtract 4'15 from the elsewhere quoted 4'30 for the pack
Amateur running a race with even bigger amateurs, apparently. Last time I saw someone trip and then get up and win was in third grade P.E.
Dammit. Now I have to watch the whole race now that I have it open. There goes an hour of my life. Already over halfway through
