Official 2015 Worlds Men's 10,000 Discussion Thread

13:40.5 + 13:20.7

Man, you are insane. Rupp showed nothing leading up to this, this year for whatever the reason, he hung in with lead pack all the way and had nothing over the last 400, more like 350 M

It was a good effort for sure.

There was nothing great about this; there were still more than 6 guys in it with a lap to go and they all waited for the feeble kicks at the end.

Rupp will move to the marathon, maybe for 2016.

Should have done that three years ago.

Kamwo 2nd, Tanui 3rd

A great race. They made Farah work for it. This helps his legacy to win an honest won.

What was honest about this? It was another jogfest and he did ZERO leading. It's the same as every other Farah race so I don't understand how this does anything different to his legacy.

He's racing a bunch of guys that can barely if at all run under 27:00 for 10k. And sitting on them. There is nothing honest about that.

So...you agreed with me on everything?

Thanks!

Actually there was exactly 5 in it with a lap to go...

Farah wins in 27:01! Very good time for a championship.

Not that great for such an obvious doper.

Rupp useless on last lap.

Why did the idiotic commentators think he had a chance for a win, let alone a medal.

We can now say definitively that Rupp's silver was a fluke. He has never even challenged for a major medal since then, let alone an international win.

you need help. you're obsessed

Weak. Ad hominem attacks, no argument made.

Because the truth is clear.

Did Mo and Galen shake hands at the end? Or even say a word to each other? Have they fallen out since the whole investigation?

Blame the Kenyans for the pace being what it was. Mo would go to the front and the Kenyans would immediately pass him back again to make sure the pace didn't slow.

Great race, Kamworor almost pulled it off. Maybe next time.

27:01 is smoking.

Galen Rupp is a boss over 10,000m. This is a phenomenal resume from an American distance runner -

5th at 2015 World Championships

4th at 2013 World Championships

2nd at 2012 Olympic Games

7th at 2011 World Championships

8th at 2009 World Championships

13th at 2008 Olympic Games

11th at 2007 World Championships.

The british press are so far up Farah's behind it's disgusting. No real journalism, mostly cheerleading. That's why they think it was an honest race because the announcers said so.

Farah is still a POS who abandoned his twin, was never a world beater until later in his life and especially after his association with a questionable coach. I bet he sticks with Salazar.

Was Galen okay at the end of the race? It looked like medical staff was called over to him

I think the slow times today indicate that Rup/Farah are not doping.
