Doper, cheat.
He got tripped by Rupp and got up to kick his tail.
Hah! Those African boys had 4 years to prepare to beat Mo, and that's all they could bring?? No point in even running the race! Mo owns those boys like dogs.
Where was Mo Farah up to the age of 27??
Why could he not qualify to the final in China ???
Not making it out of yhe heats???
Doper
I know someone that won the 10k twice and still holds the world record.
Yes, If they had run more aggressively the first half, e.g. 13:20 or 13:30 range, it would not have turned into a 5,000 m race which of course played into Mo's hands.
Again the timing is unfortunate for him.
At his marathon debut he ran well, but was overshadowed by two greats debuting the same week.
This weekend he race very well, but was overshadowed by one of the greatest 10K runs in history the day before.
How would Mo stack up against Geb or Bekele in their prime? Would probably lose.
How would Mo stack up against the very best USA has ever produced - in their prime ? He would probably win !

Prime Geb of '97 and prime Bekele of '04-'05 would crush Farah as long as it didn't come down to the last mile or so.
Heck, even '03 Geb and Bekele, as seen in the '03 WC 10k, would beat Farah. Also, Bekele in the '04 Olympics was the most dominant 10k championship race I have ever seen. With Geb injured, Bekele's opponents had no chance of victory.
Loved Mo milking the crowd at 200m first lap.

Bekele would win easily even if it came down to the last mile. Did you not see the 2008 Olympic 5000? Bekele ran sub 4 with the last lap well under 60 seconds. Bekele also outkicked Farah in the Great North Run. Bekele's kick is just as good as Farah's kick.

This is just not fair. Literally thousands of people have run faster than the winning time in the 10k in the day before. Mo would lapped the winner once or twice and he was only running tactically - he was at a completely different level athletically. Don't get blinded by artificially protected subcategories when comparing athletic performances.
Oh boy.
What was so painful about the 10K was the way Mo absolutely played with the entire field. What happened to Kam? Was he sick?
First Mo went to the back of the field…daring them to run away from him…and nobody did. Then he did a Lasse Viren imitation and fell on purpose…and popped back up…saying "Look, I can roll around on the ground…and pop up and still beat you"…and then do the last 2K of a 10K race in ~5:04 (wow)... and then he used brilliant tactics at the end…and let the guy go past him…and then Mo looks him right in the face as he says bye bye and…DESTROYS him…and then to rub it in even more…he does the Mobot at the finish. That part was especially painful for me.
In conclusion:
1) That was the most impressive race I have ever seen Mo Farah run.
2) Because of that…I now have nausea and a big headache.
3) Kenenisa Bekele is the greatest runner of all time.

I agree, I would say he deliberately 'fell' mindful of Viren's reputation of winning gold after falling - and also to outdo Kamworor who won the world hm after falling over. Look how quickly he got back up, clearly all planned. Now he can be acclaimed as the greatest of all time. Bet there are no spike marks on Rupp!
It's crazy how people here claim that Farah would outkick Bekele easily.
Bekele outkicked Lagat in his prime a lot of times (he was also outkicked some other times). There's a 3000m where he hold off Lagat in a 8+ final time.
He also toyed the field in Beijing 8 years ago folding Soi and Kipchoge like a piece of paper.
Anyway, Bekele was good and confident enough not to even let it come to the last mile, Farah would break before 6km.
rarely have I seen so many nancies in one race.
They just ran around and around hoping he'd get tired, and never put enough pressure on him to tire him out.
Where have the Billy Mills s gone? Even Prefontaine would have had a go. He couldn't help himself.

Do you think Bekele's 04 was more dominant than Ayana's 16?
(Serious question.)
