Moen in his ridiculous clown shoes gets lapped! I was sort of a fan after Fukuoka but what is going on now?

He and Wanders need to go back to Kenya asap for more EPOtatoes.

Thrilling last lap. Will we finally admit, a kick doesn't come down to the fastest runner in the mile. The indoor mile WR holder just lost in a kick.

“We” never said anything about this

Second best in the workd in the 10k is not success? That us one of the dumbest statements ever.

Any link to a replay?

As Rojo would say, "If you ain't first, you're last!!!"

It was not Kejelcha’s first 10000m.

Opps...his first was in the Etio trials in Hengelo, where he also ran 26:49 for third.

Hagos Gebriwet raced way too hard too early this year. Proof at this meet.

Pumped that Ahmed got under 27:00 though.

Can we give a shoutout to Yeman Crippa, who ran 27'10" for eight, a PB of 34" and finally broke Antibo's national record after 30 or so years.... and he's only 23

Sure, but being of Ethiopian heritage, we can just assume he’s buying EPO OTC in Italy, right?

Go crawl under a rock John..... he moved to Italy when he was 7 year old, as an orphan

Definitely agree, but I also suspect that Cheptegei is just way better than anyone realizes at this point. There is a non-zero chance that he is a sub-3:30 1500 guy who can break 26:30 in a rabbited 10k.
