They missed the sprint for first to show third place!

The camera missed Kiprop making the decisive move past Hadis because it was focused on the white boy in fourth?! Mother f*******

They missed the gd pass in the last 100. How do you f that up.

Can't believe the cameras found a way to miss the last 100m of the race leaders though, smh.

Nice job Julien!!! Watched on the treadmill and was finishing my tempo just as the men finished.

Who cares about 48 year old Kiprop. Wanders is 22. He'll be at 58 flat in a couple of years.

Kiprop is 20.

Well I'm surprised Kiprop took the win, I thought Hadis in the bag. I would love to go back and watch those last 200 meters. Awesome running from Wanders for the Euro Record. The last couple months of races showed a time like that was possible. 11 men under 60. Great depth though the slow (relative) first 5K probably helped everyone keep the tempo in the 2nd half of the race.

Horrible coverage. Missed Kiprop kicking past Hadis because the crew thought the race for third is more interesting.

Televised race. The finish is all important. You had one thing to do. And you missed it. Unbelievable.

Kiprop is 20 lol, I guess by your logic that means he'll be at 57:30.https://www.iaaf.org/athletes/kenya/stephen-kiprop-384055

Lol.

My goodness. You are a bunch of whiners. Be glad we had shy type of coverage at all.

They just showed it.

Calm down everybody--they showed the finish again. Whoever said it was brutal coverage is an idiot. Overall, that was the best coverage of a race I have ever seen....amazing times all around.

Good to see the false Euro record go down. Thank you Julien!

In the replay of the finish, you can see the flag guy holding the Ethiopian flag and then quickly switch to the Kenyan flag :)
