All three under the women only WR.

Would like to see a replay but looked like she tripped on the carpet.
Ethiopian Ethiopian loses to German Ethiopian and Kenyan! Devastated. Justice. German Ethiopian didn't lead either though. Kenyan led throughout and was the one who motioned the Ethiopian to share the leading.
Top six in 65 must be the dopedest female HM ever. I'm not sticking around to see Cheptegei run a 57.
Wonder if we can start talking less about shoes now. Our sport has always been dominated by Nike/Adidas. 2 of 3 on this podium in Adidas in a loaded field. Hall took 2nd in London in Asics. Hopefully we can just talk about the athletes and the races now.
This one was pretty great. Big pack at 15k. Big move in the final 150m with 3 finishing right after one another.
Adidas 1-2 and Nike athlete twists ankle ... yeah, it's a bust :)
They're not showing the front replay view of the carpet problem.
Neat touch having a world record finish tape.

Oh boy. The pro doping crowd will start trolling you in 3...2...
Btw, I'd love to see a 57.
That was a very physical race... lots of heel clipping, crowding, and bumping. I wonder if the men's race will be so wild?
One thing is for sure... the conditions are good enough for world record times for the men. This is going to be awesome!
I am super interested in seeing what Kiplimo can do here. He has nearly unlimited upside in this race, but could also be a non-factor.

Front replay, Yehualaw rolled her left ankle I think where the carpet covered a change of surface. She also wasn't sure which way to turn near the finish.

122 in the men's race, course very narrow in places, I predict more falls.
Basically no Alphaflys in the men's race ... they're a bust ...
Ngeno early leader, Cheptegei in long sleeves, first fall already. Wanders up front early too.
Wanders looks like he plans to run in the lead pack or die trying.

Dude. We need way more data points. Halll took 2nd in a major where only 1 woman managed to break 2:22.
Looks to be going much slower than women's, no gaps to slower runners.
Lead pack of 60 plus through 2k.
Smith from the UK next to Ngeno, must be slow.
Hall's shoes were some Frankenstein mash up that she got a TUE for. Complete sham.
