You have to learn how to watch races- there were tactics and maneuvering- getting into position. Very exciting race.

This is why you have 3 streams going at once, duh.

this is why you use sopcast
voice of more experience who just recorded the event
Watchathletics seems to be back up. But hesitant to watch it again for the 800... sportlemon is too laggy for me and coolsport isn't in English.
NBC bites a$$ for not doing a live broadcast, but bites bigger a$$ for making us wait AND then listen to some drunk imbecile like Tom Hammond talk about it. Pissed.
his stream works:

Oh and the Al Sal sauce seems to be working for Centro. No 800 speed but he's able to medal at 1500?... Shades of Lagat/el G...
Ignorant post. Centro has great 800 speed. As did lagat and El G. Everyone who has followed EL G knows he could run a very competitive 800 and just choose not too. He what...closed in like 1:46ish one time? He's been reported to have run 1:42 in training. Lagat only ran like an 800 here and there for sharpening. Never at his peak. Centro took one crack and went 1:45.8 this year. You'd have to be an F'tard (which you are) to think he's not even more sharp now. Centro is probably low 1:44.
mo would have finished second again
people here have short memories
kiprop had plenty in the tank

There were five athletes within half a second of Centro: are they on "the sauce". And, if you have even a hint of interest in the facts, only one of those athletes has a faster PR at 800 than Centro, and that by .09. In fact, apart from Kiprop who is a league of his own, only two runners in the field have a faster PR at 800 (the second by .43). Ignorance is fine and human, but not when you use it to excoriate another.

Yeah, buddy. Everyone hates HIS type. Mom keeps telling you that?

While I'm usually one of those that hates a slow race, this one actually had tension and was more exciting than a race where Kiprop completely dusts the field from the gun because he's that much better than everybody else. For a little bit I thought Chepseba might run away with the race when he had a 3-4m lead after a 61 second seceond lap.
I'm sick of seeing people complain about every race. If you hate everything, please just stop watching and commenting. Go watch the NFL and whine about the refs.

I think Mo ran a faster last K in his 5k than these guys did in their last k...

smoked? after Kiprop's initial burst, Centro didn't lose any ground and held off the rest of the field.
Kiprop was by far the best of the field. The time gap between Kiprop and Centro was 0.5 seconds. The gap between Centro and 7th was just less than 0.5. In other words, Centro did well to stay at the front of the second pack. Kiprop was alone in the front pack. The second pack got smoked.
Centro is brilliant at "cycling" - if you know what I mean.
Gets destroyed at the Diamond League all year (he has NEVER won an international race), but is able to step up at championship races. He and Saladbar have the perfect doping regimen down.
The full race, but I don't hear sound:
