Soi is one of the few who can kick with Farah, with Alamirew also having a chance. Perhaps one of the Kenyans should make the pace hot in Moscow, because in sub 13 territory, Soi may be able to outkick Farah. Soi has wicked acceleration.
As far as Galen goes, the race went about how I predicted it would. All is NOT lost for Galen. The 5000m is not his event. I am, as usual, vindicated, but I must admit that, in hindsight, perhaps it was erroneous of me to have questioned the strength of this field. Props to Lalang also, as he showed real courage to run with the leaders.
5000m video: just a highlight (or lowlight) video
