He's just ran a National Record. His walk was pretty good, he just came up against someone who had the race of his life.It looks great when you walk the walk. When you don't back it up, you come across as cocky. That VT the Beeb did for Kerr looks a bit silly now.

Dont think he could have done much about it. He was giving everything but the American was too strong a finisher, I mean he even had to pause when Ingebritsen cut him off and change lane and still had the juiceConcerned too much with Ingerbritsen, that he didn’t see the threat from the Yank inside

A bit of inexperience from Kerr all he had to do was close the door on the inside and the gold was his..
He couldn't, it was Ingebrigtsen that let him in. By the time he took the gap he was level with Kerr.

YesIs he in the 5k as well?
I wonder if he will stick to just the 5k or even attempt the 5k/10k double in future Championships.
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.

Kerr will kick himself for not locking it off after passing Ingebrigtsen. I think he knows he's the best.
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.

Ingebritsen 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
