Awww, sad to see Rupp have a bad race. He must still be hurting from the 10k. He never looked good to me. At 100%, I think he easily medals in a race like that.
Lagat got tripped up with 100m to go right where he likes to wind up his sprint. I think he coulda gotten bronze, but he stuck with it for 4th and was all smiles. Gotta love Lagat!
I thought Lomong was kind of being a jerk. He shoved Farah from behind with 2 laps to go.
Had Lagat not been tripped, he might have medaled.

DID RUPP GET BRONZE OR DID HE NOT?
no
the results were posted.
someone should have pushed with 5 to go instead of waiting to the last lap and think they could outsprint everyone
looked like rupp was making a move with 400 to go then just disappeared
Anyone have splits for the last 2k/1600m?. I know they did a bunch of 61s and then mo did a 52high... So sub 4 last mile?
WTF?!? That is ridiculously slow for a 5k final.
I am glad Mo won and Isguider didn't get anything!
BBC announcers still firmly lodged inside Mo's as.shole.

Rupp was boxed pretty badly throughout.

yea.. Galen must have only ran a 55 second last lap after a string of 60-62s
What is your point? This proves the 10k was obviously weak.
Totally disagree!!! I love championship type races!! Save the time trials for the european circuit. Lets see who can really race, lets see who has the guts for waiting and the balls to kick home!! Too many races are boring time trials. We know the all can run sub 13, but we don't know who has real guts.
Slow pace set up nicely for Cam MF Levins, but he finished in 14th place? WTF? Is he overrated?
9:44 with 4 laps to go.
it is obvious the ethiopians were paid to through this race.. lots of money being generated...by mo farah win.
What spikes are they all wearing? Victory 2?
"Real guts"? Throw a good 800m or 1500m runner in that race and they would have creamed everyone.
Leader was 8:42 at 3k so sub 5:00 last 2k
Ha ha. Kenyans and Ethiopians are so unorganized right now.
