Does anyone else find Fisher's body geometry/running form fascinating? His legs seem so large and muscular, really long femurs maybe? And his hip motion is just rock solid. I feel like I have similar leg length/proportions. Not what you might typically find on a runner but he really makes it work.
His form is majestic
no, it's the video. I live near him (when he comes back to Michigan). not big at all, just looks that way around many overly skinny guys.
Kigen caught now, NAU 1-2 and Knight with him. 10m behind is another Bama guy, then big gap. Fisher starting to move up now
Two NAU men and Knoght caught up
NCAAs 5k splits aren't working. What a joke. The #1 thing that must work is the splits.
Is that why there are 7 Kenyans in the top 12? Wait until next year's cold in Wisco! Brrrr!
Lead pack of 4 with Kigen, Baxter, Day, and Knight.
Live timing not updating after 4k
NAU 1-2, Knight, Bama 1-2, Fisher moving up with NAU's 3 past the first group
What a strange direction for the comments to take.
No updates since 4k so far.
Looks like there was intended to be a 5K split but no timing set up, or the NCAA live results site isn't updating properly.

I chuckled after reading "Day and Knight" somehow. Thanks for the update.

Night and Day?!
Kigen falling off
people live-streaming need to start listing all the splits/positions!!!
Updating now and it says that they're going through 5k in 23 min. Either they screwed up or this is a race I could win
Are you saying Casey is in 4th now?

And your comment isn't????
Has his leg action changed much since high school? I want to say not but am not really sure. The biggest change that sticks out to me is his arm action. Generally we see that acute elbow angle on African runners, and it often comes with a more pronounced forward lean and looser shoulders. Fisher seems to only have the angle, but he doesn't look as stiff as someone like Rupp (not to say Rupp isn't a good looking runner). I was watching the 5000m from NCAA's and noticed Fisher also doesn't seem to drive his elbows back, something else I would asscociate with that angle.
He does look fantastic though. I've not noticed the foot direction but it does seem that his legs are closer together. Certainly it seems that his feet point more forward than other runners, whose may point slightly outwards.
