What a joke.
---------------------------
Actually, I thought I saw Rupp shove Farah backwards. Farah seemed upset and then went out to lane 2 and shoved Abera Kuma.
Some perspective: it's 81 degrees/61 dew point right now in Moscow. Not terrible, but hot enough to slow things down. If that last lap was really only 54, that just goes to show how much the heat was affecting them.

Love reading these threads after another Mo victory - so many bitter Americans can't face up to reality.
He's too good. Deal with it.
Has nothing to do with Farah winning. It's the way he's winning. These sit and kick races are just lame. It's the same result every time. It's just dumb to sit and kick against a sprinter.
Another boring and predictable 10k. Viren, Gebreselassie, and Bekele would all teach Mo a lesson. I know it's easier to sit on the couch and call the shots, rather than being out there running the race, but is this all we have to look forward to in the next few years? If so, pretty sad for our sport
Where were the English in this race? Noticeably absent.
and what does "there or thereabouts" MEAN???
Mo was acting up the home straight. letting on that he was tired. He could have run another lap.
Daaaaaayyyyummm, that blonde commentator (not Radcliffe, although she's not looking too bad herself) is fine! If I were Mo, I'd be all over dat a.ss
Viren was a blood doper.
Wonder why Gebrsemeskel was never in it.
10 Ritz 27:37.90
12 Merga 27:42.02
14 Levins 27:47.89
16 Gebremeskel 27:51.88
18 Derrick 28:04.54

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.
He made the mistake of not running fast enough.

Buy your shoes from LetsRun and save 20% everday
what a waste of 27 and a half minutes that was. They handed it to farah on a silver platter.
That race needed a BEKELE to be interesting. Gebremeskel didn't even show up.

Nobody was able to take it out fast, i.e. sub-27 pace.
Relatively slow. Shows that the bio passports have an impact.
We won't see people running 26:30 left and right in quite some time no matter
what Canova says.
You realize it was 81 degrees and 50% humidity when they finished the race right? That's 20 degrees Fahrenheit above optimal conditions for a fast 10k, so I would say that a 27:22 is a very respectable time. At least a sub-27 effort in the heat.
You guys lost it and spammed 10 different threads when Hall finished 4th in Boston.
I really don't understand all the complaints about the BBC stream. Steve Cram & Brendan Foster do a fine job. Then again this is LetsRun so maybe I shouldn't be surprised.
