We've got about 3 other threads on London.
Let's make this the day 2 thread.
Mercy Cherono just got the 5k win over Molly Huddle 14:54 to 14:57.
Huddle was all alone the only one to go with the rabbit. Cherono ran her down the last lap with a 63 final lap and a game effort by Huddle. Huddle must have run 65 the final lap.
Renaud L over 6 meters in pole vault.
The 5k was a great race. Huddle saved us from another sit and kick.

And she showed how she could have easily won the US 5k if she had tried to double.
Are there any live stream links that actually work?

What a watered-down field.
Looks like Birech is in this one...
Sum crushed that 800 field. I was somehow wondering with 100 to go if Hassan could challeng her. No way.
Subpar from from Brenda but this was her first race since USAs.
I wish Jager was in this steeple.
Worlds Steeple is going to be very fun!
Kipruto vs. Birech vs. Jager. Wish Mekhessi was going to be there!
That was a great steeple.
Conseslus Kipruto with a great final 50 to get past Birech.
I loved how after Kipruto put on the huge burst the last 50 and was clear with 10 meters to go both him and Birech let up. They both knew Kipruto was winning no matter what.
I don't think anyone wants to be next to Kipruto in a slower race after seeing that speed after the final hurdle.

Yeah, incredible racing. Molly was almost within 40 seconds of the world lead.
Wow, American 800 running is in a bad place right this second.
Aside from Berian's 1:43.xx and Symmonds one run, nothing looks promising at all.
Sowinski has been no where near 1:45 flat lately
Berian? 1:46 , walking in?
Loxsom 1:48.x?

I missed the race and this recap has me a little confused. Did Cherono run Huddle down on the last lap or did have a 1 second lead at the bell and then stretch it to 3 seconds? Wejo's math is not quite adding up.
That was a weird 800.
Berian went from 1st to 9th on the last stretch.
No one broke 1:44. Rudisha tried a different tactic but it didn't work.
I was hopefully for the Americans with 100 to go. I didn't see the 600 split but was hoping it was going to be fast which clearly it wasn't.

You forgot about Solomon racing to the wire for wins in 1:46.
Berian at 1:17.99 was leader at 600M , obviously was not going to be fast.
Here we go men's mile.
I'm predicting sub 3:50s for Centro and Blankenship. What the hell- Leo too.

It's obvious you didn't watch it. I didn't say it was a fast race.
Huddle had a huge lead until Cherono tracked her down and caught her with 300 to go. Cherono went past her at 200 and Molly held on. With 100 to go Cherono had the better sprint to the finish and Molly slowed to a jog as she reached the line.
