First three ran faster than Farah's PB. His sit and kick won't help him this summer
I've seen these early Doha/Shanghai winners wilt when they get on the WC stage before. For some reason (see Rio 1500) they freak out and want to sit and kick too?

SIMBINE BEATS GATLIN AND DEGRASSE! AFRICA'S DOMINATION OF RUNNING COMPLETE! MUAHAHAHAHA!
The important meets are later in the season. I think we will be okay.
Where does Chelimo rank on the US 3k list all time?
4th behind Hill

Jeez has no one really taken note of the 9:05 WJR in the womens steeple?
Because she's not a junior so therefore she's a cheat.
I have no problem believing that blatant age cheaters have no problem with doping either.
12 sec pr for Aisha Praught-Leer of Jamaica! Training with Coburn helps.
9:14 for Coburn. Running that fast in early May is still impressive even if she was far out of contention. At the moment, it does not look like the coaching change is going to be disastrous this year, but who knows? It is next year where one might think that the Wetmore base is gone and she is running on Bosshard's coaching entirely. Hope it goes well.

Impressive and also expected from Chelimo, despite his having pr'd by something like five or six seconds. Kwemoi is back and healthy and looks to be very strong, but we can't say that Canova was the reason we'd know he was tough. He ran 3:28 a few years back and just needed to get back into health. Ndiku is clearly healthy at 7:33, not too far off. He has a shot still to be his old self in a few months. But right now, Farah has got to be considering the fact that at 5000m, he might be racing another 3:28 guy for once and one who has genuine ability at 3k/5k, unlike Iguider to this point. Surprised that True was so far back after his 13:20 on the roads. Still, this is a much faster tempo, at 60 per lap until the last one. With a 55 close, Kwemoi was probably good for 7:27-28 with consistent 60s instead of a few 61s.

Big Guy
Analysing race :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4bu6afEOUsClock error is ~ 0.3s
-> his last 100 was
13.0
( or 52.0 pace )
But that was lot of looking around & lot of kicking in 20 - 30m part of latter part of stretch
I think he couda gone 12-mid/high if flat-out last 100 in a 7'28
That woud destroy mo, even at his peak in a fast 3k, but 5k is another beast
Canova is right, Kwemoi is currently in possible 1500WR shape
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.
What is more important :
Whupping mo or the 1500 record ?

Sir Mo Farah is not pudgy now.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BTLQiIKg3JT/?taken-by=gomofarahhttps://www.instagram.com/p/BTf35Lpg8VQ/?taken-by=gomofarahThis is bad news for Ronald Kwemoi and pudgy Centro.
The only way Ronald Kwemoi gets beaten at either the 1500m or 5k is if he's tripped like at the Olympics final in Rio.

Update Pudgy Centro:
1) Pudgy Centro is still easily distracted and has now completely lost his focus on training.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BTr5g2elTpR/?taken-by=mgcentroThis is why Pudgy Centro is now in the slow, out-of-shape, and pudgy B section of the 5000m.
Centro has let himself get lazy and pudgy.
It is pathetic.
Hey Centro.
Please stop it.

Yeah you say that now, and we've all hoped someone would beat farah for years...but come championship they all run like morons. Why do so f*cking many africans have no brain for tactical running? Its incredible. I've seen it so many times in europe as well. They are clearly the best runner but keeps accelerating, runs in lane 2 etc and eventually looses barely to someone who just stays cool and waits.
i just got off work. Is this meet still going on? All the streams i keep trying are either on tennis or cycling

I have no problem believing that blatant age cheaters have no problem with doping either.
Kenyan juniors do not exist. The country is void of teenagers. Kenyans are actual insects transforming directly from puberty to adulthood like caterpillars in larval stage metamorphoses into butterflies. Blatant specieal cheating.
once again a track meet that doesnt pass the smell test .
and the problem in athletics is the old records..........
once again no mention of dope that is giving all these athletes the speed
javelin , both german when where was last german javelin throwers
to
a south african sprinter winning well in 100m when was last time saw that
to a closer neighbouring sprinter from zambia running fastest time so far
every single one in 100m with out doubt on this peptide at very least
kim collins at 41 running elite times still must be the biggest red flag ever
scene in track throughout its doping history
but problem is these old records , iaaf are a disgusting bunch of liars .
to
the women's steeplechase that in past 2 years resembles a different event
where is speed coming from .
this peptide flooded kenya track , all thanks to satanist at nike with help of iaaf

Good one.
The NBC commentators and coverage were actually decent for once. Helped they didn't have that tool bag butchering the distance events.
