Damian Warner just ran 10.30 in the decathlon 100m OR. With a pr of 10.15 surely he could be a top 100m runner.

26 year spread in ages in Lagat's heat

Eaton is LOSING. WTF

25+ runners in each 5000 heat is asking for trouble.

The 5k is off. There are two massive heats of 25 and 26.

I'm irate that it's top 5 and next 5. Yes, that encourages people to run fast but a 5k is often tactical.

We think it shoudl be top 6 and 3 or even 7 and 1.

Two guys have gapped the field. If you are in the main pack, you don't want to let 2 guys go clear.

Kiplimo is 15 years old and has run 13.19! I thought you had to be 16 plus to compete?

pacemakers in this one

I doubt the final is going to be this fast.

8:15 at the 3000m. Farah being very careful.

jama aden is shouting instructions at mo

Farah takes the lead at 4200

Mead falls with 250 to go.

the others respond, mo is boxed in in sixth

mo almost fell again.

Farah is always involved in falls - he needs to sort this out.

what is with all the falling this year? Mead down and out.

Sort out being a thug?

Hopefully Mead makes it on time or gets reinstated.
