MY GOD!!! Kwemoir guaranteed Kwemoi would be the Olympic 5000 champ in 2020 and now I see why. That was unreal. His last 100 was unreal. I don't think Farah could handle that.

Oh, Kwemoi, please run the 5k at the Worlds this year. It would be quite good for the sport to see Farah lose at home.

Kwemoi's last 100 m was fast, but Chelimo also died really badly.

Stand outs:

Barshim, Rohler, Simbine, Kiyeng and Kwemoi.

Is Gardiner the future of the event? Just 21.

Men are getting after it in 1500. 55 first 400 and 153.10.

You think a 19 year old who runs 45.32 then 45.12 a week later may also be considered the future of 400m in US?

Ronald Kwemoi's 7:28.73 is the 22nd-fastest time ever, I believe.

The streaming is live on YouTube. Why all the links to all those not free channels?

This is working great AND without the spam.

Are all Diamond League meets going to be streamed on Youtube?

Full 5k results with lap by lap splits. The only split that is missing in the first 200 was about 28.2 for the rabbit.

Remember when people were saying that Mo Farah was afraid of Butchart? LOLZ.

Maybe sub 7:30s will become a bit more common again

First running 3000s would need to become a bit more common again.

Are Kejelcha's bones starting to creak with age?

Jeez has no one really taken note of the 9:05 WJR in the womens steeple?

Röhler's 93.90 is the longest in javelin in 20 years. Only Zelezný has thrown better.

Look at the position of the camera! How can you place a camera like this, in the middle, within a few meters of the WR? This guy seems not very impressed - some people are really mad (or just stupid)

From 5:45:

Even as a track fan, this event stood out for me. Watching that throw, it looked mid-way that it was going to be a big one, and it just kept going..

Unbelievable that they planted a cameraman in the middle around the 100 meter mark. The javelin was headed in his direction. Just a few more meters and we would have had a cameraman shish kabob...

First three ran faster than Farah's PB. His sit and kick won't help him this summer

Balls said the queen, if I had them I'd be caster semenya
