Lmao, official results say Chelimo got 2nd. An American running 12:41... imagine that
What a Great Run by Paul Chelimo, I did not see that coming, This is Great , Amazing
Ruh roh! The results briefly had mismapped the time and the place for Kiplimo and Chelimo, if I saw and recall correctly.

Great shot of Kejelchas left shoulder. I wonder where Kiplimo’s right shoulder is.

I seriously think every race (at least every other race) is a new stadium record. It must be an incredible setting for running fast to day.

According to the Live Results API --
Kejelcha = 12:41.725 (see ATHM5000M---DIAMOND---FNL-000100---114073)
Chelimo = 12:41.728 (see ATHM5000M---DIAMOND---FNL-000100---127501)
Wonder if they mixed up their two chips because the names are vaguely similar sounding?

Klecker and Grijalva with two sub-13's in two weeks. Pretty awesome! Definitely a step up this year for both of them
Solid, but Grijalva stuck his nose in it and just could not handle the 3rd km, I'll take his effort every time, though Klecker got him at the end. Only one of the two ran to get top 3 in this race.

4:54.2 is a wild last 2K. Cheptegei and Kiplimo have to think that will be the blueprint to beating Jakob in Budapest. Will be a slower first 3k surely of course.
I think Jakob would relish a last 2K burn-up like this given his 7:54. Especially if he doesn't have to do any of the work.

I thought they measured by chest not shoulders.
Torso actually. But shoulder is not actually part of the torso.
I don't think the photo is clear at all. Kiplimo's closest shoulder is faced away from the camera, hidden behind his head. My understanding is FAT timing is basically subjective because you have to click to place the lines, and whoever clicked could have easily decided that Kiplimo's hidden shoulder was an inch farther.

You're an idiot...the top 4 in that race all ran season bests. She went a second slower.
In fact the only ones she beat were the two Ukrainians who haven't been able to train properly and the token Norwegian.

I'd be interested to see the splits. Klecker did seem like he was well back at a certain point

here is the of the 5000m, if anyone's interested. that must be the closest finish ever.I wish they had an image from the other side too. I feel that Kiplimo is disadvantaged by the fact it is his left shoulder vs Kejelcha's right shoulder. It is also dropped down and partially obscured by his head. But I have full trust in the Diamond League to make the right decisions!

So... with these fast times, is Jakob going for it? Will he get it?

Interesting to see another Norwegian beat Henrik (and beat Henrik's PR).
Henrik will just have his baby brother beat this guy.
In all honesty though, Henrik should focus move on from the track more on coaching and maybe try to run a good marathon while he’s young. Nothing crazy, but maybe drop a 2:12-2:14 marathon after a solid block before he retires. He’s just been left behind on the track and he’s probably not gonna run under 3:35/13:10 again.

I can’t think of one but if there has been it was in a MUCH slower race.
That last 2k was within 2 seconds of Jim Spivey’s 2k American record.
Hard to imagine anyone else closing in 60/60/60/58/55 in such a fast race
Jakob?

Agreed. Almost seems like the least likely way to beat him, as opposed to a super fast race start to finish or a 51-52 last lap.
Edit: assuming the first 3k is slow. If it were a repeat of today…well, that’s nearly impossible for anyone to beat.

Very strong run by Kiplimo, but he and Kejelcha are not dropping Jakob and then what do you think is going to happen over the last 400? Jakob is winning this race, no sweat.

Ta Lou The Gills!
Why is every good performance tagged as being to the gills?
Nobody should ever run fast, jump or throw far, or jump high if they don’t want to be denoted with “to the gills.”
