Our English commentators are describing him as the tall one with the floppy blonde hair... :-)
He's looking good.
Mullera fell down and DNF'd. Jager in front at 5:30.
Jager in front at 7:30
USA must have some time delay as it just said 2 laps to go in 6:07, Jager tied for lead...
2nd. looks like he let up
Looked pretty damn easy considering it was 8:16.
Jager comes in second. Watched Mekhissi run by him at the end and let him go.
Jager looked incredibly comfortable. Mekhissi looked confused there was nobody to punch after the race.
Jager looked DAMN good!
Did you see that Frog pull a Bumbalough???
Three things to learn: Jager looked great in every respect; the French guy pulled a Bumbi; Mutai looked like crap.
ok that was good. did kiplagat the ugandan fall down or something? why did the feed focus on him?

Yes and yes. Someone needs to tell Frenchie that it was a heat.
What a douche.
More importantly. Did anyone think the Kenyan looked bad? On my BBC feed, they didn't focus on him but was he really struggling or was I just hoping for that?
Weldon is there and hopefully can ask him.
Not being mean, but how come Weldon got to go but you didn't? You seem to me like the more track-minded one.
I'm not a fan of the all red uniforms.
Also the French guy didn't sprint at all. He just slowed down less than Jager.

Wrong. If you know of him, you know he sprinted. He is the guy that is always hitting people and mascots b/c he is a sorry frog.
