"Our champion"
BBC makes me sick a little bit.
Rupp gets abused last 200m, haha.
I really though Jeilan was playing them all..
Farah takes 1st in 27:21, Rupp in 4th
I thought Rupp could make that last 200 count like last year.
Nice run though. 2nd and 4th in the past two world level championships.
Man, it looked like Rupp kept letting guys get in front and then repass and repeat. He had to stutter too much and make too many moves. He needs to hold his place more aggressively and stay with Mo.
Commentors said 54 last lap.
Farah toyed with a strong field
That was impressive last lap by Farah!
Congrats to all the morons who were convinced Gebremeskel would beat Mo. So many idiots on this site.
Seriously? Jeilan made that as close as you could have expected. For a couple seconds it looked like he might even outkick Farah.
If anyone told you 4 years ago that Rupp would be in these things -- let alone getting OG Silver -- to the last -- no one would have believed it.
There's still more to come.
Nice run by Rupp. Really thought one of those guys would come back to him on the straight away
Commentator now REPEATING his cliches.

Jeilan made the last 200 a race after being written off by the commentators.
Tanui gets bronze after leading much of the early race.
Rupp couldn't hang with the kick.
What a boring race. The Kenyans and Ethiopians shouldn't be allowed back home.
So salty.

In fairness something was clearly wrong with Gebresemkel. Getting dropped 22 laps in @ 27:45 ish pace for a runner of Gebremeskel's caliber is not a normal result

Yeah the man who came in with the world lead had no chance at Farah.
In the close-up replay Rupp kept looking behind him. He should have been looking ahead, as the guy he should have been worried about was in front of him.
But overall I can't see that he made any errors, he just didn't have the pop in the last 100 like he had previously.
If the Kenyans had another guy lead the race instead of Tanui, maybe he'd have had a chance in the final sprint...
