    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)

    Well, obviously! But, he didn't say that, that's the point.

    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.
