Some of the men will ask questions about the pacing. They were on 2:09 pace through halfway and only Thommo recognised this and dropped off to run his own race

Thompson looks really good. 30 seconds under the standard with 2 km. to go. PLEASE show the race for 2nd!!
"As the battle for 2nd rages" says Hutchings but zero coverage. UGH!
YESS! I could cry.
Now that's a victory celebration! Good for Chris!
Fantastic, so happy for him!
lol, stopped at the line!! yes.
Bloody marvelllous!
Ben Connor nabs 2nd and has the standard already so he's in along with Griffiths (Dewi).
Thommo, man! Showing you what it means to him. What a run. PB at age 39 and an Olympian again

Dewi hasn't made it.
The team will be Thompson, Connor and Hawkins.
Callum Hawkins pre-selected
yep
Does Ben Connor's London 2:11.20 time count?
That was October 4th and the window was closed until December 1st?
Would mean Johnny Mellor would get the 3rd spot?
Hawkins, of course, my bad. These Brits all look alike!

Yep, this. Hindsight for sure.
Thompson coached by the guy who couldn't get Mo Farah to get near the medals....imagine what Chris would have done under Salazar. After all Alberto said Mo's training was amateurish before they hooked up. ; )

Thommo being dropped.
Hardly! What a smart run for the 'old man'.
So Steph Davies will take this and will be the only one here today under the standard.

I thought you were British! Are there Americans awake watching this!?
