We have a surge!

Berhanu just fell behind by a few meters, caught them, chirped everyone and took off. Here we go!
Wow. Rope a dope. Berhanu acted like he was dropped and then dropped the hammer just before 2 hours!!!
Surprised Lemma got dropped the hardest. Berhanu makes the move and only Abera covers it but he's slipping.
The male commentator just said, "It's going to be 1-2-3-4 for Ethiopia!" Weren't like 90% of the top guys Ethiopian?
2:56 km but only the last km of that was hard. Last two will be fast hopefully.

I can see it...
What a terrific race.
When it was down to four, I was thinking "Based on recent history, Abera should win because the other three are already relatively accomplished."

60+ degrees. They will fade. 2:06+ winning time. Calling it now.
LOL somehow they managed in the wiltering heat.
Somehow Lemma lost a full minute in the last 3 min of racing.
