I will research, but even in a 3k I cannot remember a faster last 1600.
There have been a few last 1600's around 4 minutes, but 3:57??

3:55 for 1600m idiot
It is the craziest race in modern middle-distance running ever. Probably EPO aided.
Pretty sure in '08 bekele closed in 3:56 with a 4:57 last 2k
Bekele 08 Olympics closed last 1600 in 3:57 and last 2k in 4:57 with 53.87 last lap.

Yeah just went and looked 3:57.02 and 4:57.02 also was celebrating about 120m out
Mo closed in 3:55 and 2:19 for the last k.
1:48 for the last 800m, btw.
Mo closed the London 2012 5000m in 3:57 as well.
The linked article says the closing 2:25 1k in that race was the fastest in an Olympic 5000m to that time.
However, yesterday's closing 1k was much faster, 2:21.04 by Edris.

In 2008 Bekele's final time was 12:57.82.

If you mean yesterday's race, no, it wasn't that fast. 1:51.xx at best for Edris.
Bekele also closed a 3k in 3:53.9 in his PR race

7:20.67, going out in 2:25/4:53, though some might note that Rieti then was a "rinky-dinky" six lane track. I don't worry about how many lanes a track has for a distance race. What I worry about is that his pr was 7:38 coming into the year. That was the era of unrestricted EPO doping all right.

3:53.7 for 1600 dumb ass
Anyone know what the splits for this race were? First time I've seen it, last 1200 looked about 2:52 and bekele was in the pack so probably 2:51, lap before to 3200-3600 was 64 seconds, so probably about 32 onto 2:51 and that's 3:53 ish
Didn't they run some 73 second first laps?
