I was surprised that Eric Jenkins was hanging right with Ben True. True was in 5th and Jenkins in 6th ~30m from the finish. Ben surged and passed a few runners and finished 3rd. Curious to see what Jenkins' time was. Great run by the new kid on the block!

Gebremeskel with the clear win ... Abdi of Belgium just fractions ahead of True for second.
Official results aren't up yet, but I'd guess True was more like 13:06-13:07.
Rop of Bahrain was 4th or thereabouts ... my stream cut off like 5 seconds after the finish. Didn't get to see replay or results come up.
Splits were 2:35/5:13 (2:38) /7:53 (2:40) /10:36 (2:43) ... 2:29 last kilo and about 55 last lap for Gebremeskel.
Pack was usually 5 metres or so back from the rabbits after the first K.

Huge race for him to.
Solid race from True, good job to stay within a second of Gebremeskel in a faster race like this than the NYC 13:30, and likely could have gone faster in a sub 13 race. But lots of very strong races behind him. How about Eric Jenkins running 13:07? That is about where I had him pegged this summer--and again probably faster in a slightly faster race up front. Good to see Derrick on the mend. 13:19 is a lot of the way back for him. Farrell pr'd, I think, at 13:10, and Suguru might have the Japanese record with that 13:08. Fine work. Plus, huge drop from Geoghegan, is that not?
This sounds like it was a great race. Fantastic races from some Americans. Jenkins and Geoghegan with solid times for guys without much experience in a race like this. Chris Derrick, although finishing far behind, may be getting back in shape. It's weird that True is able to mix it up with the Africans, yet Galen Rupp, who doesn't do super great in a lot of DL races, crushed him in the USA 10k.
That was fast ...
Also of note ... I was watching on Eversport. The announcer was terrible. Could barely pronounce any name correctly, stumbling over words, constant long pauses, and kept saying the athletes from Bahrain (such as Rop) were from Burundi.
He said Embaye (13th in 13:13) of Ethiopia was listed as born in 1999. Guy easily could have been wrong, but if that is what Embaye is down as, I'm not sure who he and his agent think there are fooling, haha.

Japanese Record - Tetsuya Yoroizaka in 13:12.63 was also under the old record.
Thomas Farrel ran the fastest British non-Mo Farah time since 1992 in 13:10.48.
Richard Ringer's 13:10.94 is the fastest by a German since 2002.
True says: "All this year no one is really closing any faster than 54s and that is something I can do. … I think I can be there with 600 to go and if I’m there with 600 to go it’s anybody’s game."
Dude, Mo Farah, Jelian, Gebremenskel, Gebriwhet, etc. I appreciate the confidence but these dudes are consistent 51-52 closers at championship races.

Good catch. It's like Aman in the 800 listed as a teen at the 2012 Olympics while his own agent admitted at the time that Aman was at the very least 24 and probably older, and he said the same about Rudisha and Amos. lol
very old guys they are wrote:

Oh really? Do you have any proof or sources of his agent saying that? Proof or it didn't happen!
I don't understand why you're naming this thread about Ben True running a time that he didn't run. He ran 13:06, not 13:05. If he ran 13:05 he would have either won or have been right next to Gebremeskal, and he was like .7ish behind him.
Give me races where any of these guys besides Farah closed in a 51-52?And even Farah has only done it once and that was in the 2012 Olympics 5k where he closed in 52All those times Farah closed in 50-51-52, at the Euro Champs, I don't count those, Farah had no real competition at allSo stop dissing True, what he's saying is trueNo one has closed faster than 54 this year
