Still reeling. Faith had the perfect pacer in that race. Gidey should've tried to drop her instead of letting her by and maybe the record would've been hers. But something tells she Faith would've still caught her with her 200 close.
Faith Kipyegon dethrones Tirunesh Dibaba as women's distance GOAT 🐐
She ran 14:07 though. How much faster could she have gone? There must be no scarier feeling than coming into the last couple of laps without having put away Kipyegon. It's like being run down down by a cheetah.
I was sure Hassan was not going to lose the 5000 this year, but I’m going to have to say I was mistaken. No, she’s NOT the favorite any longer. Pains me because Hassan is my favorite athlete of all because of her general insanity, but Kipyegon is amazing, amazing, amazing.
This stunned everyone. BBC announcer: "You cannot be serious."
This is Kipyegon's day, but Hassan's not done yet.

Yeah Gidey ran a great race. That’s just a near-impossible task.

We will get to watch Hassan die trying to take the kick out of her, or she is going to belly flop trying to keep up with her kick.. Kipyegon is now at a super human level, she can win regardless of others' tactics.
Yes, Hassan will literally die trying. She was about to die after her Tokyo 10000. It will be epic. I hope they both are entered.
It's up there, def best non-champ distance meet ever
Funny, I predicted Girma would run 7:49 in the Steeple, Manty think he will get the Record, but not go under 7:50 I think he DOES BREAK the 7:50.00 barrier today and runs 7:49
He must be thoroughly pumped and ready to go for it

Gidey could not have done better. She will truly need to be in 13:59 shape to have a chance. Is that possible for her? In a championship race with no pacing or lights, she has zero chance. Only Hassan or Tsegay might put up a fight in Budapest, Hassan most of all. What will be Hassan’s next race? Can she respond in a way that makes one think she can challenge Faith. I do think Hassan has the 10000 locked up (unless Faith moves up, ha ha).
