He took a huge mental burden on in that heat! Kept out of trouble, though.

I would say Jager looked the best in the heats besides Kemboi who was just ridiculous clowning around like a crazy man. Who knows what can happen in the final it will be an interesting one.
4 men in contention for the medals: Kemboi, Kipruto, Mekhissi and Jager. Mutai looked quite bad
Why is everyone saying Mutai looked bad? HE clearly jogged it in as well

Jager looked incredibly comfortable. Mekhissi looked confused there was nobody to punch after the race.
Good one
In Mekhissi's defense, Baala was the one that "threw" the first headbutt. I'm sure most of you would throw a punch after that as well.

In Mekhissi's defense, the mascot was the one that gave a "threatening" glare. I'm sure most of you would have pushed him to the ground after that as well.
Mekhissi needs no defending because he's a prick. Then again, Baala is as well. So seeing them slapfighting after a race is the best possible result.

Why would you respond with this? Ponder of ideas' statement was entirely accurate and true
Anyone know if they're replaying this in primetime?
If not does anyone have a link to the replay?
I feel like Jager exerted more effort than needed. Hopefully he saved something for the final!
