Jakob looks a little chunky. Too much luggage to carry for 1500m let alone 5K.
Yep. It was very noticeable.

Centro gold medal favourite - what are you on????
Defending gold medalist. Went from running 1:50 to almost winning US champs in a month. People are seriously sleeping on him. He's healthy and ready.
You think that the other runners are going to let Centro pull the same "first 3 laps really slow" crap he pulled in the last Olympics? No way!
Major guffaw!!!
These "last" lap barriers are going to feel very high.

Katir takes 5 seconds off his PB in one race after coming out of nowhere this year... I find his 3:28 hard to believe.
He’s a 1500/5000 runner having a huge breakthrough year. He is not old or anything. I have no idea if he’s doping or not but this is not a 26-year-old or a guy being coached by Jama Aden.
No, but he is a Spanish Moroccan and you'd have to believe in Father Christmas not to be skeptical. There's a reason nobody shakes his hand after races.
What the f*ck just happened???
LMAO you always have to expect some shenanigans like this. Between this and the 54 pacer in the W800 what a joke

There's a decent chance the race is very slow without Tim. Now I think he might just go for it.
Mohamed Katir's progression is pretty incredulous. A 3:40/13:50 man three years ago, Covid-era training seems to have helped him leap beyond imagination.
Jfc they rang the bell a lap early....
Wtf
Girma's eyes looked like they were gonna pop out of his head after sprinting 2 last laps!
Oh no.

He just ran 3:29 at 95%. He was looking like he was going to be in 3:27 shape until he fell ill. What would he be running if he lost a few pounds? 3:20?

Centro is probably in 3:30.xx shape now and form will only improve. Dude's a top tier gamer.
A gold medal buys you a LOT of benefit of the doubt.
what the hell has just happened in the3000 sc
THis might be the strangest race I have ever seen.
Muir - monster performance. Possible 1500 win in Tokyo? Not certain. Medallist - good chance.
