Obiri leads. Gidey looking amazing. She could be the one to take over from T.Dibaba and Defar.

Still fast, about 14:26 pace!
Obiri finally gaps Gidey.
14:22.48 by Hellen Obiri after front running practically the entire race.
Gidey faded pretty badly in the last k.
Wow -- great run by Obiri, think she finished if 14.22. Damn.
Am I the only one who watches these meets as yet another east african girl runs the legs off of everyone by like half a lap at least, and just is disappointed for the sport?
What a last lap from Obiri! That last 100M looked under 14 seconds. 14:22
Manyonga is very impressive in LJ.
Manyonga just jumped 28' 3" !!!
Is Shaun Barber in the pole vault?
They are only showing the Frenchman and the American on the broadcast.

You sound like an absolute idiot. So no, you are not unique.
Would a white runner be aloud to frontrun to a large victory, in your infinite wisdom?

I think he can get the WR in time.
He just put up something like 4 marks in the 8.50-8.60 range.

I completely disagree with skyboy, but it's tough to have any credibility when you say "You sound like an absolute idiot" and then follow that up by writing "aloud".
The East Africans are trying to run fast. The non East Africans are trying to score product endorsement deals.

Maybe I'm just jaded from the Olympics, is the competition at Shanghai just not that deep in the 5k? Give me a reason to believe that performance is credible

So you are agreeing with me.
Sorry about the typo!

Tremendous series by Manyonga in long jump as well.
RIP: D3 All-American Frank Csorba - who ran 13:56 in March - dead
