Jakob Krop has to be the most underrated distance runner out there. Two global medals and I never hear him talked about.
He hasn't done as well since 2023 - 10th in the olympic final and 14th here

What's up with Grijalva? I know he had injuries but whatever they were, they're persisting. I'd like to see him come around.

Gebrhiwet with the EXACT SAME mistake as the olympic final lmao
only mistake was being out of shape. Kicking from 300m out normally works for him.
big mistake he stopped running 10m out though, and got passed by 2 or 3 guys. Dumb!91 -
Kimeli closing in 12.8 then 12.6 damn
Fisher 13.5 then 13.1

Ethiopia should dump Hagos off their 5000 team immediately. His last 200 is completely broken! Tefera has a clue at least:
From 12.36.73 in May of last season he's just been going backwards. Strange that.

Gebrhiwet has absolutely abysmal tactics... sprints with like 300 to go and gasses himself with the last 100 left. Fisher has a good kick, but it's not world beating. He'll have to go earlier if he wants to win at worlds.

Isaac Kimeli ftw???? Not much form to speak of this year before beating Fisher
if you are listening to the international feed, even Cram was very subtly like "hmmm, that's an interesting final 100 - wink wink"
Am I missing something? His results are good…he ran 13:01 in Leuven winning by a country mile.

he ran 12:58 like 2 weeks ago so he’s getting back into it. Should see him at world champs

Caught him by surprise!? Kimeli had just much more in the legs the last 150m.

Not sure I’d say that: his last 5k a month ago was a 13:01 to win by 7 seconds; he just hadn’t raced a DL-caliber field yet. He was 8th in Paris and has won a DL 5k before (albeit back in 2019).
That said, the pacing and weather conditions did make the outcome a lot more “random.”

Blanks is in the DL final

pretty much a non remarkable meet...obvious some are beyond their peak for the year and some are going thru the motions and some just biding their time until Tokyo

Hope Grant can fine tune his kick AND keep his strength before WCs

Yes, 9th place w/9 points.
Which means Nico also made Zurich with his 10 points.

Did anyone else lose the stream?

Hoppel sharing a lane. Oh the insult

given that W800 was decently quick, I wonder if the 800 is the perfect event for the rain? Long enough to avoid the technical issues from sprints / hurdles, shorter than a 5000 or even a mile where the downpour could get annoying
well, if this 800 is won in sub-1:42.5...

Another overloaded 800.

Hoey wins!
