Last 3k 819 apparently.
Best us finisher not within 69 seconds. Wtf.
Why didn't any of the men try this against Farrah?

They did in the 10000m. Did you see how that turned out?
Ayana averaged 66.533 seconds per lap the last 3000m.
Had the men averaged 59.9 to 60.5 then that would be close, but they ran 4 to 5 seconds a lap slower than that.
Plus the 6th fastest men's 3k is somewhere around 7:27.
Personally I was quite disappointed with the pace the men ran.

Dibaba got beat on the final lap.
Ethiopia 1-2-3.
The talk of the Dibaba triple was clearly a bit premature.
Who the heck thought she would be able to win the 800? Hassan ran the last 800 just as fast as Dibaba and she didn´t make it to the finals.
Nah, Dibaba could still win the 800m. Hassan is just the worst tactician known to man.

That guy was completely insane, but I think he used more of his heart than his head, I mean to challenge Merritt in the backstretch like that you need some major balls. He sure helped stringing the field.
I can't tell for sure but maybe with the flying start he did a 20 flat 200m?
He tried but I don't agree that they deserved more than Great Britain, after all they kept their composure and reeled him in that last 100m because he would eventually fade away.
he had an Alan Webb moment of madness
