    My money's on Bungei. Looks comfortable.

    Is this the hardest final to qualify for?

    I think so, look at Borzy and Kaki both out.

    What happened Kaki? 1:49 - Did he stop to tie his laces or something?!

    Dunno, only saw the last 100 and he was well off, anyone see it live?

    With about 200/250 to go he just drifted back - had no kick at all, so jogged in.

    Those 3 races were like Golden league races. This is the deepest field in Beijing. No Borza or Kaki. I'm a bit shocked. Should still be a great final. My pick is the Cuban. Echoes of Alberto Juantorena!

    Who will be presenting those medals, I wonder?
