He's such a one trick pony in the 1500, if there's no pacemakers, he becomes the peacemaker and everyone else knows what's happening in advance. I still think he'll win the 5k though.Maybe. I think 5k's and 10k's are less of a lottery.
800m and 1500m are as close to a lottery as you get and the best doesn't always win. Like they said 3 or 4 people could have won that race today.
That fell into the yanks hands that ! The Norway runner moved over to Kerrs lane and gave the yank a clear run.
Sorry I don't mean move over, I meant keeping his foot on the gas, not that he had much more to give but he spotted Hocker too late and didn't have time to react.Not sure that would have helped to be honest, it would have stopped the yank on the inside but moving laterally would have cost him both forward momentum and the most direct route to the finish. I think if he had moved across the fast finishing American on the outside would have won.
I think we all knew how that race was going to go. We watch him in the diamond league regularly enough to know that in the last few years he only thrives in pacemaker (lights or people) races.He's such a one trick pony in the 1500, if there's no pacemakers, he becomes the peacemaker and everyone else knows what's happening in advance.

Think she’ll have her wings clipped by Kenyans and EthiopiansBird goes for GB in steeplechase… she should fly over the barriers ;)
The burning oil pit was banned in the 80swhy are they jumping in to water on the steeplechase? Seems pointless other than to get wet feet
He was too fixated on his fucking hair the ponceIngebritsen was just so fixated on Kerr that he had all his attention on Josh and ignored keeping tight to the Kerb letting Hocker through the gap - amateurish or scared stiff still a piss poor run and deserved of no medal
Too energy expensive to clear the water, it's further than it looks.why are they jumping in to water on the steeplechase? Seems pointless other than to get wet feet
That's a cheep gag.Bird goes for GB in steeplechase… she should fly over the barriers ;)
That's the last 3 championship races he's lost over 1500 front running. I'd love to see him tackle the 5k/10k double, think the 10k would be fascinating with him in it.I think we all knew how that race was going to go.
