The lack of back kick Kincaid has at this pace is staggering. Quite impressive how quick he is without much hip extension.

Thanks for the Russian link!

I predict that O'Gorman will fade in the last laps like Brandt did in 2021.

The glasses are off!

last k 3:02, 5000m split 14:54. Drew Bosley throws his sunglasses off as he goes to the lead. Not sure he's doing much with it yet, though.

Actually, we had a good long close-up of those sunglasses, and while we watched them remain in the grass with no further motion, James Mwaura took over the lead.

I like it too. The bunching! Wish Drew Hunter were here.

Is someone gonna pick it up at some point?

why would he wear a hat on a warm night with no sun? traps in heat

Sunset in Eugene, OR will be at 8:37 PM today. It's still shining.

Nope. This is shaping up well for Woody.

this is terrorism

I always get stressed that they're too boxed in!

3:58 last mile?

I would go to this race if it was in a major city with plenty of hotels and close to airport. Eugene is just too expensive to get there for like 99% of the country, plus you have to be a track fan.

He's looking for some Dave Wottle energy

Is blanks gonna hand this to woody? or maybe he just doesn't have it tonight.

Fisher sucks, why doesn't he go to the lead

WHY ARE NICO AND GRAHAM AT THE BACK

Nico looking awfully boxed...

Going to be a 2:19 last 1000m.
