What a disappointment of a race. Mickey Mouse championship. It didnt look like anyone was even trying. They just let Yakob take the lead and then jogged it in.
Incredible how good Jakob must be to make it look it like others weren't even trying. World has never seen a talent like this. Oomaz boy is absolutely devastated it's not an African that won. And they won't if Jakob is running.
It might not have come through on TV, but Jakob was clowning during the second half of the race. Looking around at the crowd, the occasional gesture, changing speeds. I said to myself, "Either he think he owns these guys, or he knows he has no chance and is pretending like he doesn't care." Well, we know which one it was. He had no respect for his 5k competition, not when the pace was that slow.
He would have won that 5000 even if it was beer they were passing out instead of water. I’ve never seen anything like the eventual champion take water x 2 in a 5000. I ran the SF 1/2 marathon today (slowly) and did not grab water so as not to upset my rhythm (haha!). No, but the 5000 m world champion did twice. That’s legendary.

The Ethiopians WEREN'T even trying. This might be the first 5000 in two generations where none of them ever took the lead ONCE!
I guess their top talents are going straight to the HM and Marathon circuit these days - same thing that happened to Kenya on the male side one generation ago.

The only devastated were the one alike you all these past 40 years.
The events are organized by your wealthy countries and serve your countries.
Paradoxal, the only country in a third world region your accepted is Qatar. Because of money!
Your world is harsh, material, greedy of wealth and seek for consuming only.
I have no respect for your world and your fake champions.
I have even less respect for your even more fake champions of the past. And that's in the fake past. You're devastated for at least the next two years, at which point you'll be even further devu.
