27:11 - I think Geb was 7th, couldn't hang on the last lap.
lol for a second I tough Biru was actually in the mix
Geb in roughly 27:20. he was in mix until 500m to go. good race, but old man doesnt have same wheels. to be expected.
troll would say: rupp would;ve destroyed these punks!!!//11
What a bad 10k for this level of comp , way to many runners , lapping etc.
Jos needs to rethink this one.
27:11 in a tactical race. Americans (with one exception) need 4 pacers and a perfect night at Stanford to even get close to that!
Behind Bekele were Benti??? and Sihine
Last lap of about 53-54.
Haile's last lap must have been 61-62 as he was 9 seconds back but with the leaders at the bell.
The splits were 25:11, 26:26, 27:11, so 65-55 the last 2 laps.
I didn't see Ritz finish.
That's right. A freaking 2:00 last 800. You gotta be kidding me, with that level of talent! Sheez, I could almost run that. Seriously, a 1:56 for the Ethiopian-freaking-gosh-darned-trials-for-lands-sakes-are-you-kidding-me-27:11?! 1:56 should have been the minimum. These guys should be running Palau or Samoa. What an embarrassment for Ethiopia!

Ritz ran 27:50 according to results
*26:16
"Dathan Ritzenhein, running by himself, ran 27:50.82, for 12th, not hitting Olympic A of 27:45,"
Lol interviewer for Haile was such a dick.

Welcome to the new world of improved doping control. Get used to these under-whelming performances

Oh my god hahah... wow.
and a 27:50 is exactly what 'just run for the A standard' kind of limp thinking gets you. shoulda been running for a freaking 25:59. yeah, it's a little aggressive but you wouldn't miss the A by 5 freakin' seconds. now how many quality 10ks are left for Ritz to qualify?

Haile Interview just now.
He said something along the lines of "Everything was fine, I just can't sprint like that anymore."
At the end of the interview the sportscaster said "No London"
And Haile replied "No problem"
A little resigned in his voice. End of an era
