It's been so weird watching the Kenyans be so unsuccessful in the mens distance events. These drug busts have done a number on their depth huh
The results have been the same as last year pretty much. Silver/Bronze in 10k/steeple is identical. 4th and 8th in 1500 I think they were 6th and 7th last year? The 5k for Krop and 800 for Wanyonyi/Kipngetich will be a test as those were strong events last year.

btw - "Offal" Day 6 - was this a brilliant reference to the contents of the infamous Shelby Burrito - you know, the one that tastes like sh-t that she didn't actually order but ate anyway and was 3 times the size of a regular one and sadly was tainted with nandrolone?
If it was, well played :-D
Something looks different about Chelimo, he looks really thin in the face, maybe its just age setting in idk. Hoping its the side effects of crazy mileage/fitness.

Kara is awful. She just says absurd things. He might be worse but she is bad.
Kara seems like she forgets she is a commentator sometimes. She gets too excited and starts yelling non-sensical stuff. I can't listen to her talk about how relaxed somebody is on the last lap anymore

Was Nordas tired or did he miscount? 😄
He told Norwegian television that he miscounted.
stewie in the final. parsons goes home devastated
I enjoy that we know exactly who made the final immediately now with no little qs. No waiting around to see if the 2nd heat runs marginally faster

Ben Flanagan in his post-race interview when asked if he was paying attention to Jakob, who was beside him going into the last lap (I'm not quite getting it verbatim): "It was all a blur. There was a lot of red and blue. Every time someone went by me, I assumed it was Ingebrigtsen. It happened three or four times. I think I ran out of Ingebrigtsens."

Big one for me that jumped out from that first heat - Kemboi and Kipkorir absolutely destroyed. What the f--- is going on there? Kipkorir especially should be cantering home in a race like that?
They weren't even close - they both were beaten by Ben Flanagan, Mike Foppen, Jon Heymans? Huh?
No question Kipkorir must’ve been feeling the 10K. But Kemboi is not some massive talent. 13-flat guys are now a dime a dozen especially if they’re not huge finishers/tactically strong (he is not).
luis grivalia
Is this Shelby posting?
There's a race going on but let's cut to some human interest story about a hammer thrower
anyone know where i can watch the 5k prelims?
Oh my god get back to the race
nvm

This is a bummer for the 5000 -- after the 10,000, I thought it'd be a battle of the last two global champions (Cheptegei & Inge). Both dropped for what appear to be minor reasons. Chep is somewhat understand, if he is really wants to get to the Valencia starting line healthy, but c'mon Jakob. Nothing is wrong with you. Run sick -- probably still gold given the field without Chep, but at least a medal.
Did anyone actually think Jakob wouldn't run? If it's a head cold he'll be fine in the heats and over it by the final.
Kejelca looks like he's been living off burritos without the offal
