Are you sure that was not hand timed? Hahaha! Seriously that is doubtful. Either the javelin was not standard weight or the throw was wind-aided. Either way Youtube man is geared to defend his title. Thanks El KEniano for the updates.

Men's steeple. Jarius Birech, Conseslus Kipruto and Brimin Kipruto. Benjamin Kigen almost stole it from them as the three were celebrating on the home straight. Someone's been stretchered off, hope it wasn't Conseslus. Ezekiel Kemboi runs out to the finish line to celebrate with the three. Says he's had a nagging injury that's healed now.
Last event is the men's 800m.
The 800 got to be the most intriguing with Paul Ereng's coached Emanuel Korir and Michael Saruni. Either Ferguson or Alfred Kiptketer gets to stay home today.

Kipketer, Rotich and others run out.
King David Rudisha descends from the stands, talking to the media. Says selection not final, still has to go to panel. Sounds like he was rooting for Ferguson. 😂
Paul Ereng being interviewed. Talking about his work at UTEP, proud of his boys to have gone 1 & 3. Sounds optimistic.
