Thanks for posting, have been trying to find the footage for this race forever.
The early pace in this race was too aggressive through the first 1600m unlike his WR the previous year where it was too slow, definitely a reminder of how much of a difference wavelight makes for today's athletes.
Still haven't seen anyone since who looks so smooth and powerful at 60s lap pace.

He didnt't he was legit. But he was way stronger than jakob and hocker. you can see it in his ethiopian eyes, it's like 2 shining jewel jades, it's mesmerizing energy from the land of origin ethiopia. rich in ores and rare earth deposits, makes for strong conduction between body and earth. jakob didnt have that so he couldnt start in 7:32 and still run 12:40. kejelcha cant do it in modern shoes. hagos too.
