If you are drafting in a race that has Mo Farah there is 0% chance you will win. No chance at all. Mo wins automatic. Not 1% chance of winning or 2% chance of winning. 0% chance. If you draft in a race with Mo Farah, you are saying you don't want to win and you are only racing for 2nd or worse. The only tactic you have is the tactic to not win. If you want to win Gold in a race with Farah, it can't be a tactical race. It's crazy that there is not one elite other than Farah that wants to win Gold. Slow race against Farah is giving Farah a free pass to Gold.[/quote]

The biggest distance race of the meet closed out the evening, with World/Olympic champion Mo Farah surprisingly going down to Ethiopia’s Hagos Gebrhiwet in the men’s 3,000m. The race was much slower than expected, and it appeared that Farah guessed wrong on his tactics to wait until the final 300m to move. The 21-year-old Gebrhiwet, the silver medalist in the 5,000m at the 2013 World Championships, was able to hold off Farah in the last straight, winning in 7:38.08. Farah had to settle for second in 7:38.22.[/quote]
