Crowd support is fantastico!! Urging Kejelcha on.
it's amazing how many people show up for a 10k. always a good idea to have a later start when people are out.
9k in 23:38 according to the lead car
Patently absurd that this man lost to Luis Grijalva at Worlds last year lol. Just go balls to the wall the last 6 laps. The overthinking from the Ethiopians is wild.
26:37!! That u turn with 30 seconds to go was harsh.
Koko looks like she is on the edge
I wonder how accurate those Ks were. No way he was going 3min pace that last kilometer.
Approx 15 second win.
26:53 for Cheptegei, Yihune 27:28, Chepkwony 27:45ish, hard to imagine the latter 2 making their respective Olympic teams.
Looks like officially 26:36, Cheptigei about 16 seconds back. KK looks maxed out.
Koko has look less anguished
KK will fall about 55 seconds shy of record.
For a moment I thought Koko will DNF
I saw ~23:50 on the on-screen clock when Yomif hit the “9” painted on the road. I thought he was likely to miss the WR by like 2 seconds until the very end; the clocks/splits were deceptive. I think he probably slowed in the last K but not that significantly.
It is physically difficult to watch Koko finish this 😬
Yeah the car clock was quite off the screen clock, which would explain it
Koko won? Have not seen her going over the finish line
Koko over 31’ after DNFing RAK Half. Not sure she is getting the best advice at the moment, though at least she gets a payday of some sort here.
For real she looked like she was getting tortured. Also why did that one guy yell something at her and then speed away? Also what did she keep pointing at?.
