Jakob looked stunned. Looked around praying no one else was coming up behind him. He pushed the afterburner button and it just didn’t kick in. Cheriypt and the Kenyans
What a race? That was amazing? Congrats to him and all of his family and coaching team. Beats 2 folks that are all timers. 5th place 3.30. What a race and he’s out front. Amazing- so happy for him!
Also 2 surprising results for the Spanish guys in 3th & 4th: Katir medals after just surviving the heats & the young Mario Garcia with a 5 (!) second PR for 4th. What a final!
Wow such a cool race for Wightman. Major props to pull off the upset like that. Races like this make the sport great.
Big mistake for Ingebritsen to not hold off Wightman on the backstretch. Expected him to fight a bit more to maintain the lead, but seems like he just didn't have it.
