So excited for Jeilan!! He definitely proved me wrong.
I believe it's first time under 27 for him. He has a good chance of making the Oly team!
Thanks for the updates, Letsrunners!!
Yep, his previous personal best was 27:02 in 2006 when he was 17 the World Youth Record.
Paced the first 5 Laps at slower than his HS 2 mile time and dropped out.

I love you, sweet thang!
It was an enjoyable race to watch, however I'm concerned about how Sitonik let up at the end to seemingly allow Farah to go by and win, as if perhaps for whatever reason he knew he had to let Farah win, even though he clearly could have beaten him.
I don't think Sitonik tired at all -- in fact quite the opposite, especially after watching the replay several times. You'll notice that Sitonik had all the momentum and easily passed Farah on the final lap, but realizing he would actually win, he started looking around, put on the brakes on purpose, and tried to make it look as real as possible as Farah passed him.
It may be only may opinion, but did anyone else notice how Sitonik appeared to give the race to Farah when he clearly could have won?
Possible reasons that come to mind include an agreement with Farah's camp or management, with Nike, with Pre, or -- more nefariously -- a monetary payoff agreeing to challenge Farah but not beat him.
It looked to me like Sitonik shut it down and gave the race to Farah for some reason other than being tired or unable to run faster.
All the looking around and his facial expressions, along with how he and Farah interacted after the race, have left me honestly believing that Sitonik let Farah win, for whatever reason.
I'd love to hear from any others who watched the race and feel the same concerns.

My thought is: Sitonik didn't care about winning this race. He was testing Mo and didn't care to win. Why? To let Mo become complacent. The real race is coming at the Olympics. Mo will see the real Sitonik then.

Never gonna happen unless he finds a pack of runners to drag him 9400m at WR pace against his will and slow-down attempts
He is getting there, 40 more seconds, he will break the record soon
Rupp still has better PR than Mo at 10000m
What in the world in going on with Chris Derrick? I know he was injured, but he has been back running for 6 months now. Also, he looks very old and worn out/down, not good.

Here we go again,...Mo cheating in every way he can....
Your thinking is absolutely correct, brother! I've caught Mo Farah doing this so many times.....I mean, just watch this:
https://youtu.be/jpC7kSNTXvc?t=3m44sThis guy nailed it!
I caught Farah doing the same thing during the one indoor 3k he did. It really looked like Augustine Choge let Farah win that day...they were talking a lot before the race! Choge was sooo dominant at the moment, beating the likes of Kejelcha and Ndku every time they compete.
Mo Farah's doing all this to look like a champ to his other competitors.....
Liar
just watched the last 200M , Mo just used his 1500M speed to overtake him down the stretch
U can hate the man but don't make stories and lie about him
here is the last 200M folks
thx man.

Nonsense, you can see clearly Sitonik makes a strong surge right at 200m to go and then just sits while Mo hangs on. Nobody looking that strong with 200 left would be dead and unable to respond at 100m, unless he meant to.
Besides, that pack Jenkins was in smoked them both.
nice race Sambu!!!

Rop is a 12:51 guy, why would he be the rabbit?
Mo did to Sitnoik what he did to Kejelcha in Lausanne 5k
Mo farah has devastating last lap that can't be matched by no one at the moment
look at this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4vklTeilxQ

You mo farah haters are pathetic

I thought the same thing...Sitonik had lots left at 150 to go and either was intimidated when Farah got on his shoulder, didn't want to win or was told not to win.
I think you should stop typing this bullshit from your mum's basement.

HUddle struggling now in back of pack.
Obiri leads at 11:12.8 with 3 to go
Americans just are not prepared for the surges.
Lexi just learned that is not a watered down american road race, its international track and field.
