This has to be one of the most bizarre, inefficient races I've ever seen at this level.

Rono-esque.
Mateiko pushing the pace, on 26:31 pace currently.
Like some said to me Barega didn't age well.
When we know he ranked 5 in the 5000m World Championship 2017 at age 16.
I hope the Olympic final is as good as this.
what is this random surge at 18 min into the race?
Barega. SPRINTING.
Like a Webb or Stember backstretch move.
This is a fascinating race
Geoff Weightman is a fantastic commentator.
Get him on the TV feeds rather than stadium announcements.
Barega looks ok, but so does Gebrewet & Kejelcha and the kid.
Good announcing but someone should flag that it’s not Gebrhiwet in orange as the announcer is saying
Lots of Tigray flags in the stands. Too bad they didn't break off and start their own country yet, that would make it a lot easier for Gebrehiwet to qualify
Does he keep saying the Gebriwhat is in orange? Because he is not in orange, but black shirt wth bright yellow stripe on his shorts.

27 flat pace, Worku doing all the 'work' now. 5 still there.
Kejelcha cannot win. Barega will take him in the finish.

I assumed he was referring to his spikes.

Only mildly insensitive to the current situation there bro.

I can't figure out what ethnic group the Ethiopian government hates the most. A few years ago it was the Oromo. Now it's the Tigray.
