WOW!!!! Have never seen a guy attack a 5,000 RACE like that. Laid waste to the field and rocked the WR holder!

Tough job for Ingebrigtsen. It will take sub 12:40 ability to win at the WC.
Another epic race!
Not suprising though. Aregawi has shown top shape earlier this year.
Good effort by Cheptegei!
Jakob, Kiplimo, Kejelcha, Aregawi are all around WR shape. I hope we see a WR attempt later this year with a faster start.
55 last lap.

Interesting how a lot more 5k races have someone willing to push the pace in the last 2k now
I cant even tell you how many times from 2013-2017 they would hit similar splits to these races and then the 4th K would be like 2:50. These dudes have no fear
Kiplimo and Kejelcha ran the last 2k in 4:54 for their 12:41
WOWIE AREGAWI!!!!!! 😗🇪🇹
Like I said, 5k conditions are perfect imo. I am here.
Ta Lou’s 10.88 (-0.8) was nuts. I should convert it. Yeah there is a little bit of elevation here

Gonna be crazy if Gebrhiwet runs under 12:50.
That was his 4th time!

WR attempt between the 4 of them could be an all-timer. We really could see the first sub 12:30.
This was Ky Robinson’s welcome to the nba moment
Encouraging for Cheptegei especially as it relates to the 10k
A personal best for collegian Ky Robinson - 13:20.96.

We don’t know that. That will be an entirely different ballgame.
Gebrhiwet 12:49 - he ran 12:47 in 2012.
Barega at 13:00 looking like he might be left off the 5k team.
Edris 13:29…he’ll probably win Worlds though.
Ky Robinson 13:20, rather disappointing. Raess 13:22, Almgren DNF.
17 year old little bro Girma 13:03.

Mo Farah got in and out at he right times
Btw those guys were MOVING.
Chep did all he could. Aregawi looking fresh and invincible. And there it is.

Maybe not in 2023 but sub 12:30 will come in the next years
This was the most amazing run by aregawi... for once someone that leads breaks someone that is drafting from the back...
Much respect for aregawi ... hope he get the WR

Times seem a little slower than expected so far. I wonder if the chilly temps are slowing things down a bit, especially in the sprints and middle distances.
Not overly optimistic for a fast time from Jakob later.
So much for the chilly temps slowing things down a bit!
