Watching the 3rd round of 6...

Now the Eurosport announcers are losing their patience as well.

Hard not to destroy TV in such moments.

Will they even show the last lap?

EuroSport's announcer: "I'm as frustrated as you. This is just the third round of the discus. That will go on long after the 10,000 is finished." But more hunky discus throwers, their coaches and the fans. But Farah is third!!

Beyond the horrible coverage and $hitty-as-f&ck streaming, I think I've still only seen maybe 15 seconds of the actual race. This is beyond absurd. F&ck universal sports.

Cut back to race at 22:36. I'm *certain* we'll be leaving for discus at least one more time.

The frustrating thing is I can barely enjoy the Brojo's text updates b/c my video is working perfectly, I *ought* to be able to watch!

Tadese leading and doing the work. Rest of Ethos minus Bekele. Kirui. Mathathi. Rupp. Farah. 24 minutes in.

Hahahahaha!!!

Bauhs was lapped!!

It's bad when even the announcers URGE the directors to get back to the 10K coverage.

66.93 It has slowed down again 23:07.36 with 4 to go tadese leading

65.73

Rupp almost fell again, clumsy white man

3 laps to go. I predict Rupp will medal if pace doesn't pick up.

Mathathi, Merga, Farah at front, Rupp on back of lead pack.

Farah has to be favorite now.

With 800m to go Rupp is still a definite medal possibility.

8 together with 2to go

66.82 it's going to be a sprint 2 to go 25:19

rupp in back of back. farah in 3rd now moving up

Uh oh, Galen looks like he may be heading into trouble... He's definitely struggling to hang on here...

At the bell they're going Farh in lead 60.80 Rupp is otu 3 up front
