I thought this race was worthy of its own thread.

Interesting that no one seems to care about pace. If I was Hagos or Alamirew I'd get right with the rabbits. Instead people seem content to let this be an actual practice for the world champs
236.91 1st km but the rabbits are pulling ahead.
Go Geb!
Typical Mo slowing the pace

I'm glad though that Hagos isn't the one pushign the pace as his strategy of just running away from people up front doesn't seem like its sustainable in the biggest meetes.
These guys are such idiots. Why let the race be slow when Farah's in the field?
Doesn't seem like they're going with the pacers, surprised Hagos isn't sticking to them like glue. Pretty sure thats how he'd beat farah today...
Having said that the pace is slow but not a crawl like at the euro team chance so they have time to pick it up.
Halfway split
6432 high for Farah
67 lap there. Awful.

IMO he still needs to push. He wont close in 51.
Annoying things:
1. Farah ignoring the pacers. (But power to him if the field lets him.)
2. The rest of the field ignoring the pacers. (This is much more annoying since they're playing into Farah's hands.)
Actually, I now give Mo full credit for abusing these idiots. Pathetic field of 12:50 guys running 13:30 pace behind a guy with a potential 51-second close.
911 3 to go. and hagos has moved up on Farah's shoulder. now hagos is boxed. it's amazing how good mo's tactics are.
now 2 laps to go and hagos goes agai.
1018 2 laps to go.
Don't know if I can watch these slow sit and kick races all the time. Killin the sport for me.
Wow a 2:19 800m when Mo leads. Grow some freakin balls man
Finally, THOMPSON shows the field some gonads.
WOOOW. How did Farah pull that off?
any details for a guy with no video? thanks.
i thought alamirew was gonna get farah coming off the bend but wow, farah dug deep there
Good final 400 by Alamirew and Farah but they will need to figure out new tactics to beat Farah in Moscow!
