Last year he got behind with 800 to go. This year he gets behind with 400 togo, Next year the adjustment will be complete and he make the podium.
Easier said than done. Both Krop and Grijalva struggled to get the position they wanted. Non-factor that he was, Gressier was running brilliantly tactically. Jakob and Katir maneuvered well and the Ethiopians were fighting hard for position.
People called it and I just didn't believe they would be so stupid to again run the race right into Jakob's hands like that.
In the end it was Katir (kind of out of nowhere) that at least made the race as interesting as it was because otherwise Jakob would have been Steve Ovetting up the home straight again like he did in Eugene.
I just can't believe with all those guys have run in the low 12.40's this year that they wouldn't really hammer it from 2400-2000m out. Stunning
When Kipkirui went, he was extending a perfect opportunity for Aregawi. Instead they played into the game and worst of all never made it ridiculously hard, just hard.
They are stupid. We have to start saying it openly. And justice for Telahun Haile Bekele
