Coming into the 2024 US Olympic Track and Field Trials, American Grant Fisher had accomplished an awful lot. In addition to being the American record-holder at 3000 (7:25.47), 2 miles (8:03.62), 5000 (12:46.96) and 10,000 (26:33.84), three times Fisher has finished in the top 6 in the world on the track. But surprisingly there was a big hole on his CV - he'd only won one US outdoor title (the 5000 in 2022).
He's got three now as this afternoon Fisher ran final 1600 in 3:59.97 to win the men's 5000 in a championship record of 13:08.85, 9 days after he captured the men's 10,000 on the opening days of the Trials. Fisher narrowly won a thrilling sprint duel over Abdihamd Nur. Behind them the collegains Parker Wolfe and Graham Blanks were duelling themselves for the 3rd spot which Wolfe took.
