MENS 5000 IN LONDON

12:55 for Bekele, Mottram less then a second behind!

12:56.13 for Mottram...

mottram 12:56.13

?????

looked like hall and broe were right there...further than 10seconds it looked like though...

what did broe run>?

good race - but it looked as if both guys could have run quicker. Mottram waited for Bekele to kick - which he did with 200 to go - but I reckon Mottram could have tried a run for home earlier.

Brits ran crap.

I was just counting, but I counted right around 13:10ish, maybe 13:09?

KB in 12:55.55 .... about 3-5 m ahead of Mottram....nice run.....55 sec last lap.....looked like KB was running just hard enough to win....did Broe get 3rd?

Sounds like 13:05 for Broe

the rest of the field was almost 100m back, make your judgement

13:05? WOW! I couldn't see shit on that video screen.

i think it was closer to 13:10...looked like he was 4th perhaps, it was hard to tell as they didn't cut back from mott/bekele 'til the last second...

last 200m for Bekele 25s and Mottram 26s

very nice for Abdi, if a bit disappointing from Broe.

Abdi!!!!!!

hall must've had a tough last kilometer...
