Probably the best we got

800m in 2:01 for rabbit

2:03.7 for Rupp. Farah, Lagat behind him.

2:32 for the 1000k the rabbit is not 15 yards in front. Not doing the best job

1600 Mbishi 4:06 4:08 for main pack, Rupp 1st American in 3rd

5:11.01 Mbishei still leading. RUpp 2nd Chris Thompson 3rd. Lagat, Mottram all right there.

about 5:45 with 2 to go

Rupp leading now with 600 to go but everyone is there. Slow pace now.

Everyone a tthe bell 6:45 61.93 for that lap. about 10 guys together.

Collis Birmingham to lead

Lagat easily won the last 100m. Birmingham was in front. Lagat went by him easily and Farah gave chase.

Results coming

Bit surprised Farah didn't strike early off such a pedestrian pace. Hard to imagine him outkicking Lagat.

Lagat

Farah

Kiptoo 3rd I think

Birmingham 4th?

Rupp 5th

Thompson 6th

Two Things:

A) Thank you for posting updates. Keep'em coming if you could be so kind.

And 2nd, I'm glad I didn't pay universal sports to watch a paced race. It's just not sport. However, I will gladly watch for free if anyone finds a link for U.S. viewers.

how was a paced race so slow? i know it was raining, maybe that had a lot to do with it but several of these guys nearly split that last week!

It was slow because pretty much everyone these days is trained to just sit behind a rabbit. No Moorcroft's in this group.

Sorry this wasn't on for people in the US without a VPN.

Farah did close his 5,000 with a blazing 1200, though. I know 3K is not his distance, but he could've worked the crowd into a frenzy and maybe stolen one with a move at 800 or 1000 to go, no?

Sounded like Rupp at least made a half @ss effort to stretch it out from 800 or more out, but everyone else just content to let that play to Bernard in a snail time?

I guess I understand Farah thinking he has a shot at beating Lagat over a last lap, but even Birminghams move on the last lap was futile at that point if he thought he might win. If he was just doing it to place as high as possible that is fine, but if he thought that was the best was to win after a 2:39 middle 1000, no chance. Bernard just jogged for 6.5 laps and then ran a build up 400.

The other kenyans were silly for letting that unfold.

Probably is windy. London rarely produces fast distance times.

Men's 400m hurdles

Bershawn Jackson 48.12 over Javier Culson's 48:17.

Culson was ahead down the stretch and even off the last hurdle and Jackson has such a great finish.
