Bernie was not leading at bell, only 3rd, so his actual split was
~ 51.7
further, he had to run huge amount wide on both bends, ~ 4m in total, so he actually ran 404m in 51.7
-> route-1 last last lap of exactly 400m
~ 51.2
it is a huge pity that Bernie was not around in that '06 shape in mo era of '11 - '17 & contesting global 5ks
we wouda been seeing mo being scraped off the soles of Bernie's size 15s !!!
That's around a second slower than Farahs last lap who had the sense to not run wide.
The op asked for the fastest last lap not who could have done the fastest last lap. Learn to answer the actual question.
