Wow. The meet has started and the 400m has been run but NBCSN hasn't shown it. It has now on it's 2nd commmercial break.

Really bizarre. The Gold pay package is supposed to give you the international ad free version of the meet but it's not working.

Fools gold?

well True did PR by a full second

Edris finishing kick seemed god-like

He sure did. Leader to leader split was 54 so Edris was probably 53 mid. Pretty damn fast close for a 7:32 race

Forgot to mention - he didn't even really turn the jets on until the final 70-80m. He is in very good shape.

I figured Kwemoi had it once he took the lead but Edris was tremendous the final 100. 54 final lap. PB for Ben True.

Had to laugh. On the NBCSN TV broadcast, they just came back and said because of technical difficulty they couldn't show the women's 400. They clearly have it taped and could show it. I don't know why NBCSN just doesn't show the international feed.

Was Edris officially 54? I know leader to leader was 54, but I thought edris was about 1 second back at the bell. I could easily be wrong though.

Nice 7:39 PB for Pat Tiernan. That's #3 all time for Australians at 3000

Maybe Canova has gone wrong in Kwemoi`s upload to a peak for WC? Or maybe Kwemoi is in heavy training right now to find the peak at time?

Oops. 5th, 10th -- somewhere in that ballpark.

Tiernan now has run 27:2x, 13:13, and 7:39 all in the last few months. Great running for his year as a pro. Does he still train under Marcus at Nova or with Nic Bideau and MTC?

also afterwards there should be highlight clips here for free in HD

anything under a few minutes is usually the full event

Is Biwott wearing boxer shorts?

AMOS 1:44.26

Came back nicely on over the last 150 on Bett and held off Rotich.

Nicely done.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Paris track is slow. They all look as if they are hammering the track and keeping pace but the times just aren't great. This might just be because the track that the PB's were set on were very fast?

So the Eithiopian 5000 team will be?

Kejelcha, Edris, and Gebremeskal?

Nice finish by Amos, hopefully he can make it back to the final in London.

Side note, NBC is butchering this broadcast. Skipping the 400, cutting Thompsons interview off, and the commentators seem to have little to no knowledge of most competitors. I want the international broadcast!

You can watch on Youtube though no commentary and no interviews. PURE T&F.

So how long until the resident unhinged aspie Indian tells us that the top 5 of this race are all in world record shape and this performance was worth 3:23/7:15/12:25 if only one accounts for synchronous gas expulsion of the athletes?
