There were great expectations for Butchart (13.24), Ingebrigtsen (13.30), McSweyne (13.32), Wanders (13.45), but they all ran disappointingly, but credit to them for finishing (Tiernan dropped out).
Over prepared ? Too great expectations and pressure ? McSweyne was predicted to challenge Mottram's OZ record. Wanders -this guy works so hard -was he over cooked by now ?
Discuss.
Great expectations for Henrik Ingebrigtsen? Really? Why?
Surely not if you know of his injury and how awful he has been running since the 13.15....
I agree on McSweyn and Wanders, was hoping both of them to threaten a PB.
Never had any expectations for Butchart either..
It would make sense if Henrik had gotten injured, because his 7:36 earlier this year is equivalent to low 13, but the dumbest thing in this entire thread is the guy who blames alleged African dopers for the Europeans and Aussie running much slower than expected.

I suppose he runs better when there are cameras to mug for?

Short answer: you're looking at the clean competitors and comparing them to the doped freaks that beat them. This is why the 5000 needed to be scrapped: to help put an end to the disgusting Italian-African cheating cabal.
Wanders has run 27:25 but only managed 13:45 in that 5k.
So he ran slower than his own 10,000m pace in the 5k because the other competitors are doped? Idiot.
He’s actually run 27:17 this season, but 27:25 on the roads in December. But otherwise I agree, what does him having a bad race have to do with other competitors doping or not?
