    Apparently the 5000m race at this event will be the Ethiopian 5000m trials for the Olympics.

    They just said that he has only done 3 sessions so far this year.

    Unless Bekele is holding back he is not a medal threat. Yet, still running 13 mins. Shows the depth of talent at this distance. Unreal. 13 mins is now barely making a final.

    Edit: He's a 10 k wild card. Still awaiting 5 k selection?

    There were people on here recently saying they thought Hutchings is an excellent commentator and I disagreed. Tonight proves it IMO.

    eg "Ryemyen has run her season's bests THIS YEAR".

    This would embarrass George Hamilton, for f*ck's sake.

    Not to mention all the verbal tics like "My word!" and "look at this!" and "she's in the inside lane, is the Jamaican".

    Sorry, he's a numpty.

    I backing big for the 10k reckon you will get a great price to beat Farah (which I think will happen)

    His focus has always been the 10k and has been improving steadily 13 min off the pacing in that race is a very solid time and showed the good racing skills considering where he was thoughout the race ( actually trailed front group in 12th for a fair bit)

    Bolt ran a 9.79 last night yet looked a wee bit sluggish. Unreal. a 9.79 is a hell of a time yet when he runs it it's almost slow. Wasn't too long ago that Johnson and Green were running this time and it was considered off the charts

    Patrick Johnson's fastest time was only 9.93.

    I reckon coverage wont start till 8 given they are running HS races at the moment. Put it down to time difference as the European ones have a 8 pm local time start could be trying to match that

    Foot slipped on the plasticine and he lost control in flight and seemed to land down hard on his left knee. Looked nasty.

    This 110mhurdles race is crazy....3 false starts already and athletes running under protest all over the place.

    Talk with him previously stated that reason he didnt do the A race was to prevent him over reaching for the win so obviously this not him 100% as of yet. Looks very promising for a chance at pushing the 2 Jamaicans for the Gold hopefully

    Blake wone the A race with 9.90 in a +.7 wind
