McSweyn to the front as usual. Easy guy to root for.

Thompson could run 10.4 wind illegal.
And I'd be ok with that. If the clock reads 10.4x, regardless of wind, would be amazing.
McSweyn, Kipsang, Barega, Wale in line
"Spot on" 60 sec. pace so far. Jakob up there with McSweyn.
Crazy the africans can't follow the pace!!!!

Still WAY out front these 2
Quite windy on the back
NEVER count out Barega.
Two rabbits gone, one rabbit remains (McSweyn) for Yakob
McSweyn pacing Jakob the whole way, nudges the pacer Kibet out of the way.
Kibet brings them through 1900m, McSweyn 5:02 at 2000m
I have a feeling Jakob will crush this last lap
Aregawi trying to close the gap, in no mans land between the leaders n Barega
400 to go, McSweyn looking bushed, Aregawi closes the gap, passes Jakob.
Jakob easily in 7:33 but the time is disappointing.
Aregawi came back like a racing car. McSweyn can't finish as always.
Barega is in a bad shape, that's the confirmation after his disappointing loss in Eugene.
He probably has not trained since his win at the Olympics.
Its incredible how set-up Jakob always seems to be. He literally is never in the lead until the last 100. Tactically perfect every time.
That surge from Aregawi was unreal! Great tactical response from Jakob, glad they went for it even if the wind prevented any sub 7:30s. Gotta feel bad for McSweyn for taking it out hard again but not having that kick at the end
Aregawi did what he had to, Jakob just too strong.

Don't think it was easy...
would like to apologize for my excessive predictions
seems like the wind HAS picked up quite stiffly
Duplantis LOST !!!!!!!!!!
