Results Men’s 5000m Semifinals: All the Favorite and Americans Advance

by: LetsRun.com
August 13, 2013

The first round of the men’s 5000m went largely according to form with all the favorites and all the Americans advancing to the final.

The only drama was in heat one where Kenyan John Kipkoech fell with 800m to go. He got back up and sprinted hard, immediately joining the pack within the next 200m. He would pay the price and not be able to hold the pace the final lap and not make the final. We didn’t expect him to be a big factor in the final anyway. (LRC Preview of men’s 5000m here)
