....and WHAT A RACE!
I don't think anyone is saying he didn't have good pacing. Sambu was perfect for 8k in Rupp's record (sambu ran like 26:55 i think...).
All i'm saying is I think Rupp could have gone faster with the shoes and wavelight and a training partner like Fisher has tonight.
But why not perfect pacing for 8k then have Mo Farah to push with to the end with? Farah and Rupp were training partners and got gold-silver in 2012. Racing teammates makes you go faster, it's a thing.
total hypothetical
3:03 last 1200
wow big congrats all around, top 2 obv huge results, but tons of fast times out there. would have been fun to see it in person.
That was worth the $6.
The online production is pretty bush league (aside from the pretty good drone shots), but hey, at least there's authenticity.
Shoutout to the man Jack Rayner 27:16 Aussie record 🍻 sub 2:10 soon
Rayner 3rd with 27:15 (National Record)
Anyone get the final 200? I think I had it in 30.4 but not sure if that was leader to leader or not?
Ya those might be the two worst commentators i've ever listened to.
How about they race Cheptegei and go for the win.
Agreed.
Fisher made a whopping $2600 for that performance too!
Damn Fisher has to be considered a serious threat to win a medal at both 5/10 now. 26:33 with a 55(?) second close. Doubt anyone can run away from him in a championship race, can he kick with the big boys? Seems like maybe he can.
It was poor. The woman’s incessant nervous laughter really bugged me.
But Jesus Christ what a performance by Fisher and Ahmed. 26:33.8 with a 57.x? last lap, ~2:32 last K?
One really must wonder what Jerry has them doing.
Jack Rayner ran great with 27:15!!! Takes the Oceania record form Tiernan not as hot 27:45. Hell even Lawi Lalang ran 27:52 that's great to see him PRing
Plus maybe ~$50k-100k bonus for AR
I didn't see Fisher do much of the 'work' at all. Laid back almost the entire race. Led maybe 2 laps of 25?
Too bad Jager dropped out. Would have liked to see what he could have done here
And now we know why BTC skipped indoors . . . with no regrets . . .
