Pacer slowed down way too much with 450m to go and Kiprop ran into the back of him - guy didn't even swing wide. It was like he started running 6min pace but just stayed in lane 1. Kiprop totally out of it mentally after the collision.

That's what I saw too. The second pacer was just awful. I won't say it totally took Kiprop out of it but it should be some of the blame. He tripped over the pacer and the 3rd lap was a 59 because of him slowing down.

Yep. Second pacer struggled from the time the first pacer dropped. Kiprop looked fine until he ran into the second pacer and then he lost his momentum and never regained it.

Lol, I don't think that El Kenny was implying that Kwemoi IS a junior, just that his 3:28 is the current World Junior record. But Ronald is Renato's athlete, and I got to watch a few of his workouts over the past three weeks. The guy is the real deal, he did a 1200m-5X200m, 800m-5x200m that rivaled the Kiprop workout I wrote about in May. He also spent most of the Diamond league season in Japan, which is why most people haven't heard of him this year.

He's not a fluke, so don't count this kid out at Rio.

LOL, think about the phrase wrote:

None of these human being runners have gills

gills are meant for breathing underwater

a gill is a respiratory organ found in many aquatic organisms that extracts dissolved oxygen from water and excretes carbon dioxide.

get a clue

Please go to English class. Literally.

lol you guys are adorable. And my 3-year-old just aced Calc III.

Glad your kid caught up. Honestly, Calc III is congenital.

Mackey ran a PB...

Mobot or Kiprop = more devestated? There aren't medals for 5/6th place fellas

The doping cheater brit farah and the doping cheater brit grice were both allowed to run.

This is a good meet for the Norwegians.

Nice to see Phillip Ingebrigtsen getting a chance in a good heat. Henrik is getting there.

Caroline got a new PB on 3,000.

What a big upset in the high jump. Barshim who had the highest PB and the world #1 is out at 2.34. Bondarenko and 2 others cleared 2.34.

nice PRs for fillip and grice. Manangoi as well.

Would really like to see Bondarenko get back into 2013-14 shape, 1 miss and a clearance 2.37. Tamberi has cleared 2.37 to equal his best. Barshim went out with three misses at 2.34. Big suprise. Meets been a bit disappointing so far.

Each DL meet is getting more disappointing. Time to re-vamp?!

Women's 800m up now. how fast will Semenya go to win?
