I don't know about long jumping. I though you were marked where your body first lands, not at the shortest point where it lands, though thinking about it, it makes sense. My bad.
This is why many T&F athletes don't have respect for distance runners. They don't bother to learn or care about the sport, and have tunnel vision for their races only.
5Ks went 13:53/13:12 ... I would say the Kenyans let it go too slow at the beginning (first 2Ks were 2:55 and 2:49 ...) but they were nowhere at the end anyway (save Tanui) so I don't think they were capable of setting a fast pace today. Karoki had been dealing with Injuries before the Kenyan trials, but I don't what was going on with Kamworor.
Only took a 55+ last lap to win. That was surprising to me. Jeilan ran a 52 when he beat Farah in 2011, I think.
I was impressed with the Ethiopians, especially Demalesh. Honestly, I was expecting them to bomb out like 2013 and 2015, with their inexperienced team picked off what amounted to a time trail. Demalesh at least went to the front and started running 62s with 5 to go. Earlier on, when Karoki then Kamworor went to the front, they'd run one 63 then slow right back to 66-67.
Maybe the Ethiopians should have pushed earlier ... or at least not allowed it to stay a jog for the first 5-6 laps. I don't see why no one tried going to the front and throwing in a 60 sec lap, then trying to hold 63-64s the rest of the way, earlier on when Farah was last and 3-4 seconds off the lead. That would be a ton to make up.
Again overall a disappointing race to me ... too slow for too long. Farah has shown again and again he will win that every time. The fact he could fall in the middle and *still* win with relative ease tells me none of the Africans went for it enough.
