Thought he might win it with 50 to go but Aregawi came up to edge him for 2nd.
Ran a fantastic race tactically. Stayed in lane 1, stayed up front but not leading, moved when it counted and came off the final turn in a great spot with an open run to the finish. It’s a big deal getting a medal with this kind of comp. He deserves it fully.

That's terrible. So eased up two hundredths too soon? Hate to get nipped that way!
Last time I was this pumped, I was in a hotel room in Kansas City watching Farah bring home gold, Rupp bring home silver, Jess Mills (British) bring home gold, and Rutherford (British) bring home gold in the span of 5 minutes. Unfortunately, now I know better about what was going on with Mills, Farah, and Rupps.
Tonight, I was intrigued at the gun. I was on the edge of my seat by 17 minutes. I was shouting at the TV telling Nico to hang on and Fisher to f-ing push at at 24 minutes. I was crying at 26:43 when Cheptegei won it, Aregawi outkicked Fisher, and Fisher got bronze.
Best Olympic distance race ever. THIS IS WHY WE LOVE THE SPORT!!!

Surprised Mo didn’t sabotage Fisher again.
If you watch, he does trip up Grant in the last half of the race.
Once again a Mexican American breaks a long US drought.
