What's with the lapped men in this race?
Damn, Mead was in perfect position.
Mo took Mead out - I bet they put Mead into the final. Mead was there, ready to go.
Leading results for heat #1.
Ndiku will have to wait to see if he gets in. With his injuries of late, it's clear he isn't medalling. SUch a shame. He looked like the one guy that might be able to challenge Farah over 5k.

Since they've been placing everyone in the final, let's see if Mead gets in. He may not however as he may have been the guy to run up on Mo Farah, causing his own fall.
Mo was tripped from behind
Was Mo responsible for mead's fall? Didn't see it well. It was, might see a protest. Mo tripped on top of mead and they clipped and Mead fell. Wow.
Feed I'm watching is making no mention of Mo being the cause of the fall
very pro mo
No chance of advancing on time for Mead, but they have been very willing to let people advance on protests after falls here.

jama aden is shouting instructions at mo
Oh you mean the guy who Mo says only ever asked him for a selfie?
Brits who are denying Mo's association with Jama "EPO room" Aden are appalling.
And now Farah completely cut off Mead and Farah. What a PoS.

Sort out being a thug?
Hopefully Mead makes it on time or gets reinstated.
There will definatly be a protest, they just replayed it, it was completely Mo's fault, Mo took mead out, it was an accident, but he still tripped him.
Peru is bringing a torrential pace to the next 5000m heat. Get ready.

will be an ALL African final.....no pale shins
It looked like Mo cut in without room, and his left leg flung wide to the inside lane. The video wasn't clear, but it looked like Mead must have stepped down on that or perhaps Mo's leg kicked Mead's out from under him? I'm not sure, but he went down immediately - no stumbling. Hope he gets in, as that seemed like it wasn't his fault at all.

Why isn't there a chance? Yesterday in the women's 5000 - they put Nikki Hamblin in the final even though she hit the legs of the runner in front of her and fell.
That's what Mead did here. Yes they weren't lapping anyone but where does it say if someone is getting lapped, the rules are differnet.
PS.
Mead admitted on NBC that he was moving in on the turn but it seems so far at this games that they aren't following the rules so let's hope he gets in.
If Abbey was the embodiment of what the olympics is all about, should the crowd boo Mo in the final?
2nd heat, if top 10 run faster than 13:26 there will be NO Kenyans in the final

I'm pretty sure that he said there's no chance of advancing on TIME for Mead, but they have been willing to let people advance on protests after falls here...
