At least he has good reason for the braces...

Are we really sure Jakob's the heavy favorite at 5k in Paris after going through the 1500 rounds? That was an incredible run

6 second PB at 30. Faster than Berkele. Man what did I say earlier about the Ethiopian in the 3000m - they have stepped up this year! Go ethidopia!

wow. could be a big challenge for jakob in paris
Yihune running 12:49 after leading out so much also impressive. Also reminder he lost to two Kenyans not named Krop in Xiamen. Lot of sub-12:50 capable guys right now.

I swear to god if the olympics is won in a race slower than 13 minutes Im going to lose it. These guys can run 12:40 and even faster. No way it is slower than 12:50 come on man.

Decent run for Grijalva after some early season misfires: 12:50.58 for 5th.

54.99 last lap of a 12:36…he was obviously capable of running low 12:30s today.
Grijalva and Almgren both with 12:50.xx national records. Should assuage any concerns about Grijalva’s early season form.

The pacer stayed in the race and ran 12:49. s/o to him

Bekele is now 3rd fastest at 5000m. We are getting old

Gonna be hilarious at the Olympics when these same guys think their best bet against Jakob is a 13:05 race with last 1,600 burn up

Do you think this gives credit to some peoples theories that Jakob can run under 12:35, I mean Gebrihwet closed that fast he had to be in that shape if he had paced it perfectly?

Would have loved to have seen Grant Fisher in that race.

Bad news for Grant Fisher??
In all seriousness, wish he’d been in this race. I don’t really see a compelling reason he wasn’t.93 -
That 5K winner is really hot.Yum.

If Almgren can do 12:50 then Jakob can rip a sub 12:30.

Not if they run like that!
So yes, he’s the favorite, because they never run like that.

Somehow he'll magic it into an even race at like 12:50 pace going into the last lap and then outkick everyone else just like last time. Kejelcha 4th for good measure
