What lane did he finish in?
Lane 3. He could have moonwalked in after the last barrier; it was insane.

Gebrhiwet can beat Mo if he's in position

Why wait? Get him in the 5000 this coming weekend! I'm sure some of the three already listed kenyans can come down with "the stomach flu" or something.
What you said? No qualifier time? Fork that - If the IAAF can give him "special consideration" or something...
Didn't realize he was that dominant. What a boss.
Only person to get 7 straight medals in the World Championships. One of the greatest racers ever. Possibility the greatest.
Kemboi's kick is something to watch! Running like a man possessed!
9 Olympic / World Champ medals in a single event (6 gold, 3 silver).
Is that an all-time record?

Kemboi would smash Farah in a flat 3000.
Bairech kinda died. I feel like he would have dominated the race if he made it a sub 8 one. Never thought that Dan Huling would beat Jager though

If he could
He'd already be doing it, not running a 2nd tier event
Ezekiel Kemboi at major Championships:
2nd - 2002 Commonwealth
2nd - 2003 World Champs
1st - 2004 Olympics
2nd - 2005 World Champs
1st - 2006 Commonwealth
2nd - 2007 World Champs
7th - 2008 Olympics
1st - 2009 World Champs
2nd - 2010 Commonwealth
1st - 2011 World Champs
1st - 2012 Olympics
1st - 2013 World Champs
3rd - 2014 Commonwealth Games
1st - 2015 World Champs
Total medal count from above: 7 Gold, 5 Silver, 1 Bronze
If you want to discount the Commonwealth Games (as many of you do), his combined Olympic/World medal count is:
Olympics: 2 Gold
World Champs: 4 Gold, 3 Silver
Also:
1st - 2003 All Africa Games
2nd - 2007 All Africa Games
2nd - 2010 African Championships
Forget all the gold medals, does he have a World Record to his name? Does his PB make the top 5?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure people on here insist that you need a WR to your name to be considered GOAT. Am I right letsrun trolls?

Good question.
From top of my head:
Sergey Bubka: 7
Carl Lewis: 7 (LJ)
Lars Riedel: 8
Haile Gebrselassie: 8 (10000m)
Heike Drechsler: 7 (LJ)
Allyson Felix: 7 (200m)
I'm pretty sure 9 is an record!
