I've got to think Fisher could have run 26:20 today. Just an incredible race.
Happy for Grant but a slightly better position and he might have won. He could have done it tonight.
GRANT FISHER! Anyone else with wave of emotion and tears of joy? Haven’t felt this since Molly Seidel bronze 3 years ago. God, I love this sport.
Congrats to grant!! cheers!!!
nbcolympics.com stream just ended like 2 minutes after the race concluded lol
5 guys all in-between 26:43-26:44, smashed the Olympic record, what a great run by Grant , 20 years ago USA wouldn't even sniff the front of an Olympic 10k
13 under 27:00
Unreal.
Unfortunately, Kejelcha baffled again.
that was absolutely incredible... absolutely screaming at the tele... so glad he medaled
Only 0.02 separated 2 and 3
So proud of Grant :D
Nico goes sub-27 in his first Olympics. incredible performance.
my kickless goat Berihu Aregawi picking up the silver medal. really shows that in a faster race its not about who has the best speed, but rather who has more left. Grant never led and stayed on the front near the rail so he had more left than mo ahmed who was always pushing. Aregawi of course is an aerobic monster and did alot of leading, but whenever he lead he dind't really pick up the pace and just kept it smooth, so he was able to summon a kick at the end.
Just pipped for silver, but still an amazing result for Grant. Such a stacked list of guys he beat in that last lap. What a race, LET'S GO GRANT
Did I die and go to heaven? I just watched an incredible race with great commentating, camera perfection...I wanted Cheptegai to win if it wasn't Fisher, and I wanted Fisher to medal, and I wanted Nico to run well. They even kept the camera on the finish so I could see Nico finish.
That was incredible. Absolute perfect sports coverage.
Please, can we have this forever?
What a race, and Fisher has smashed that. It was perfect for him, especially when Cheptegei took it hard with 800 to go. That's a well-deserved medal for an intelligent race
Super Grant Fisher, an amazing race! Bravo!

I swear Nico has looked absolutely cooked for the last 5 minutes idk how he's still sticking in there but I love it
I have noticeed that looking cooked seems to be Nico Youngs baseline normal (as we say in nursing) but that is one tough and talented young runner.
This post race atmosphere is awesome. Viva La France! They know how to put on a show
