Lol did Duncan Scott just insinuate that Marchand is doping?

I think you're right -- Bekele's 10k from 08 was 63.78 / 64.84 / 61.22 / 53.42 for 27:01 overall.
62 / 62 / 60 / 54 or so for 3:58 / 1:54 / 54 closes sounds more accurate
Also in mid-state NY. The peacock T&F feed seems to have crapped out.
And so to the men's 10000m final
Enjoy the race all

I'm in Binghamton, it's been fine here.
FIRST OLYMPIC FINAL
Time for the 10,000!!!
Predictions
Winning time: 26:51
1st - Barega
2nd - Kejelcha
3rd - Aregawi
Top American - Fisher (5th place)
Quite possibly the most stacked distance race of all time...
Between Cheptegei, Kiplimo, Aregawi, Barega, and Kejelcha, they own:
ranks 4 / 14 / 16 / 18 on the 3000m list, 1 / 4 / 7 / 8 / 10 on the 5000m list, 1 / 7 / 8 / 10 / 12 on the 10000m list, 1 / 3 / 6 on the half marathon list; numerous Diamond League triumphs; seven of the last nine World Cross Country medals; six of the last nine World Championship 10000m medals; and all the Tokyo 10000m medals.
And then you have Fisher, Ahmed, Kipkorir, Balew, Ndikumwenayo, Nico, Kincaid, Wildschutt, Mateiko, Kibet, et al... ridiculous depth
BAREGA CHEP KIBET I SAID IT HERE FIRST. WON IN 27:13.51
Both Burundians DNS, I saw somewhere Kwizera might be switching nationalities to Spain
Grant Fisher world record coming up very soon. Very excited for Grant to finally win his Olympic Gold and finally be respected as the US GOAT.
Inkling that Mateiko might be injured unfortunately, lets see
yomif needs a new barber.
Wow, Kenya have not won the 10000 men since 1968 according to Cram on commentary!
Fisher is so good looking 😍
The announcer said Grant Fischer's name the same way that Jon Gault does: "Gront"
Ha, the camera just completely skipped over the Japanese guy and went right to Cheptegei
Kejelcha is one of my favorite runners, but I swear to god, if he chokes again . . .
