Cheptegei is such a beast! Tactical master, incredible last lap. And thrilled for Ebenyo who only was in the 10K squad through injury. Fantastic story (he grew up in a region with awful violence).
Remember he was cut from Doha after he placed in the trials because he wasn't in the testing pool?

Cheptegei: the king. Again. A worthy entry in the line of Geb, Bekele, and Farah
Is he the 10000m GOAT if he wins in Paris? Or does the tactical error in Tokyo do too much damage to his legacy.
I think it depends on how he stacks up against Kiplimo. But in any case, Bekele is still the GOAT.

It's crazy to me how un-tired these guys look after running ~65-second 400s for 25 laps.
Go down to your local track…
Canada won hammer 😳
21 year old Ethan Katzberg from Canada pulls off the upset in the Hammer Throw with a 81.25m National Record!

Maybe. Two more global medals and he's matching Farah's tally, and he has the WR. He's certainly in the conversation if he gets that Olympic gold
Americans finish 11th, 16th and 20th ..... ugh!

Yes that too. Seems like a completely determined individual.
it's a bummer. american distance running has fallen off a cliff.
This quoted post has been removed.
Almost like they are to separate people from different cultures with wide different expectations for this championship.

Except for Alicia Monson.
Through injury? How
He was second in the Kenyan trials
how does that kenyan guy run 9.71 yoked like that. holy.
Credit to Klecker for finishing on what was obviously an awful day for him, it would have been really easy to join the DNFs.
Kincaid had the 3rd fastest final 100m at 13.62, behind Cheptegei at 13.45 and REN TAZAWA 13.28! Goat!!

I am on fence but there is a good chance that Jakob is juicing. With that in mind it makes the act even worse.

He is not, because Bekele has 4 WC titles to go with the 2 Olympic titles.
I agree but I can disagree on the fact Chep beat his WR by 6 seconds. But it’s so hard to compare.
FFS 🤢
