Its dumb on my end, but that made me dislike him more.
Ha! Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's pretty worried about that. Let me call the wambumlance for you.

It's the one who's so full of himself.
So the guy who missed watching the stream out of spite? Got it.
Its' a shame molly huddle wasn't in this race. I wish the NYC half would be held after this race. Or invite the champions. Or something so they don't water down the field.
Huddle could have been medalling.

Same. One of the best races I've ever seen.
Agreed. Tremendous effort from the top 3 finishers in rough conditions. I think all 3 of them will walk away feeling good about their day, even those who didn't win.
Janet Cherebon-Bawcom top American in 1:10:46 (11th overall)
Sara Hall next in 1:10:58 (15th)
Kellyn Taylor 1:12:42 (25th)
Ireland's Pollock top non-african, in 62:46. Tim Ritchie top american in 63:49, Jared Ward 64:06 in 23rd and 26th respectively.
US 6th overall
kenyan women 1 - 2 - 3
kenyan men 1 - 2 - 5
Now, again, where are all those threads about the white people winning world indoors?
sparse crowd at finish?

Oh boo hoo, I'm sure that's what Mo was thinking/worried about when he was sprinting for a medal.
Oooooooh who cares about Farah's bronze. He picked off runners who actually raced to WIN and gets no respect for "just doing his best" like a hobby-jogger.

She'd need more arms then she had at NY.

Karoki and Kamworor are using Rojo's strategy! They split apart to drop Tola and then got back together. Wow!
That was great. Well done, Rojo.

I watched it live again and he was down for about 7 seconds. He caught up to the leaders with 3:30.
I figured his race was done. Kudos to the Ethiopia guy who was behind him and fell on him and stayed with him and helped him. AMazing sportsmanship.
I for one cannot wait to see ventolin^3 factor in that fall to say that his performance today was intrinsically a world record. That and his super-special formulas for wind and rain, and calculating the extra distance he covered at every bend.
Do you NOT think he is in world record shape?? With a fall and the crazy rain and wind at the end?? No doubt in my mind he could run under the current world record right now. I'm glad you wrote this early as he kinda proved you wrong.

Is this a thread of things Mo Farah doesn't care about?
Its a thread about what is happening in the race. And if Farah's going to act like a doofus in the last 100m then I'll comment on it.
They showed the race in China on CCTV 9 but the quality of the commentary left much to be desired, but at least it was available on free TV.
Ghost in China,
Apply today
is there a replay of this race somewhere? would love to watch killa kam beat Mo

You're kidding, right? Farah was clearly the 3rd best half marathon runner in the field today, which I'm sure he would acknowledge. He placed as high as he could hope to place in this field. If Ryan Hill entered a 10k and didn't race from the front, would you call him a hobby jogger? No, because that would be the only sane thing to do in that scenario. GTFO with your BS.

You had the feed, and didn't even watch it HAHAHAHA
Given the conditions and how he ran today, there is no question that Kam is in world record shape. Making up all that time lost when he fell would have taken something out of him and yet he finished so strong. He is definitely better than when he got the silver at the last WC for 10k. I know it's early but I like Kam for gold in Rio. Love the way he runs with no fear. So glad I watched this today.
