I thought for a split second aregawi gonna release a crazy kick like he did in the 10k but Jakob is obviously on another level.

We trashed the Ethiopians at the Olympics for not pushing the pace from 2-3k out, but I'm starting to think it wouldn't matter
What an alien! Insane stuff
Oh my goodness me, Jakob pulverized that record
I mean we knew it could happen since last year but... watching it is an entirely different thing
INHUMAN
That last 800 was one of the greatest pieces of running i've ever seen
Last 800: 1:52.93
Last 1200: 2:52.00
Last 1600: 3:51.38(!)
Last 2000: 4:50.48 (equiv. to the 13th fastest 2000m time ever run in the open event, not sure about other splits)
They have to start testing this guy more.
Our time trialist KING! Another bouquet for the vase
That last 800 was something out of a dream
Let's be realistic here
Tracks, footwear, wave lights and bicarb are making a difference
Fisher DFL in 7:49 😔
Wow!!!! How does this dude lose any championship races? My g-d he’s strong. He laid waste to the record and the best runners of the day.
What is that? A sub 3:54 pace? My word!
It’s definitely his distance. There are a lot of athletes where 3k is their sweet spot for distance. Shame it’s not a championship distance really.
I need a cigarette.
Black page?
Oh my god, that was FAST!! World record broken after 28 years!
Not a standard distance 🥱
Needed a pacer as usual 🥱Tell me that he can’t break the 5K record

Trash them for not finding a way to get Berihu in the 5,000 final. Dude is fit and running smarter than ever.
Jakob in sub 12:30 5k shape.
