We merged 4 threads into 1. The others were about Weini Kelati and Paul Chelimo. We have done a hybrid title.

There’s a thing that runners say when they see a performance like that, at an event unlikely to be circled for random testing. but in this case I’d imagine there will be testing, as it was British 10k champs. that was textbook East African mystery debut. under the radar to debut, big lag before they end up on the whereabouts testing list, crush a major championship, profit.
Maybe, always possible, but she ran 14:46 for 5000 two years ago.

Yes, spectacular run by Adame. Unfortunately, she took all the camera time away from Weni who ran a great race, new PR for second place.
This is a WA Silver label meet so Weini will pick up some points for her 2nd place as well as her fast time.
Very possible that the USA champs in July will feature Weini and Fiona O'Keefe as the 10k favorites . . . since there have been hints along the way this year that Monson & Cranny may focus on the 5k while Schweizer's fitness to race any distance at this point is unknown.
Solid run.. 29:58 for winner and 31:04 for Kelati??

Incredible form. Case study in elastic recoil.
Did anyone else look on in awe at how horrible she made the other runner's forms look? The running style of everyone she ran past looked horrendous compared to her, and they are tremendous athletes.
Paul Chelimo at the front at the 5k mark.
Abirha goes past the pacer!
Results:
Junowot?! Chelimo hits half in 13’35.
Chelimo hitting the front. 13:36 at 5k.
American dropping the hammer.
Paul looking strong. A few minutes from saying He’s Back Baby!

Wheels coming off of Chelimo.

Probably 27:30ish for him.
Oh, man. He missed it by 2 seconds.

Not quite "Paul is Back Baby!!!" but way closer to that than "PAUL CHELIMO IS DONE!!!".
Must've been hard to finish solo too.
Feel like Chelimo should have been able to break 27 with pacers. 27:12 is painful
Probably would of hit the standard if he hadn't looked over his damn shoulder so many times after he already have the race in the bag

What a pity. The 66’s cost him. Perhaps with a group, he would have had it. 58 got final lap!
