Men's 5000m Final | World Athletics Championships Doha 2019

Welcome to the World Athletics Watch Party, join the conversation on Twitter with our hashtag #WatchWorldAthletics.
Had it not been for the fact he had a wild card entry as the defending champion, Muktar Edris most likely wouldn’t have even made it to Doha.
The Ethiopian was ranked just 17th in his country this year for the 5000m. He had two appearances on the Diamond League circuit this year, finishing 11th in Oslo over 3000m and 18th in Lausanne over 5000m. Before that, he had failed to finish the 10,000m at the Ethiopian Championships.
But his wild card entry meant that Edris could defend the title he won in 2017 when he ended Mo Farah’s streak of world titles. After winning here in Doha, the 25-year-old has kick-started a winning streak of his own at the World Athletics Championships.

Lets give respect to the male commentator. His commentary of the final round is pure poetry, magic: "They take the bell in the men's' 5000 meters. Such heart, such passion - this is great racing. Their eyeballs are out. Hundreds of mile, for years and years; just for this opportunity to shine on the global stage..."

@@tripcLFM4L It is indeed rare. Jakob's 13:02.03 is 23.43 seconds ahead of the second-fastest non-African U20 runner of all time. That is lightyears. And Ahmed is 9 years older than Jakob. If I remember correctly Ahmed said in an interview after the race that Jakob is the future of the sport.

[@freedomm]

@@charlesthorndike2702 Umm. Barega and Krop are younger than Ingebrigtsen. And that's just this race.

[@charlesthorndike2702]

@@freedomm That is incorrect. Barega was born on January 20th 2000, while Jakob was born on September 19th 2000. Jakob is younger. (Krop is younger than Jakob though (d.o.b. june 4th 2001) ) "And that's just this race." I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean. The score between Jakob and Barega is now 1-1. Barega beat Jakob here, but Jakob beat Barega at the 2018 U20 World Championships (Jakob got 3rd, while Barega got 4th) Also, keep in mind that there is no one in the world that is in Jakob's league in both the 1500m and the 5000m. The only guy faster than Jakob at the moment in the 1500 is Timothy Cheruiyot, and he's far from Jakob's level in the 5000m. And the 5000 runners that are faster than Jakob, are nowhere near his 1500 times. Jakob will go down in history as one of the all-time greats in distance running.

[@freedomm]

Charles Thorndike Charles Thorndike My bad. I thought Barega was born in 2001. But he’s run 12:43 which is just another level. He’s the next world record holder. “Just this race” meant there are several younger guys in Ethiopia and Kenya that weren’t picked for the teams to Doha. Like the guys that won gold and silver at the world junior championships ahead of Jakob. They’re all the future. It’s going to be competitive. As for the 1500m, you’re forgetting Elijah Manangoi, who regularly beats Cheruiyot in training, was injured last year. Also, Algeria’s Toufik Makhloufi was also injured most of last year and he’s also faster. Add Manangoi’syounger brother George (younger than Jakob) who won gold at the world junior champs and the Ethiopian Samuel Tefera, another young guy who broke the indoor world record. Crowded field. I feel Jakob will continue to come out without medals if he does not pick one event to concentrate on.

[@samson2262]

I'm an Ethiopian who ran track and also lived in Kenya for about 3 years. I love Kenya and Kenyan runners but the difference is that Ethiopians put flag (and, therefore, team), ahead of individual glory. The winner's glory is a shared national glory. The contributions of teammates is given as much weight. Historically, Kenyans are not known for teamwork although they have improved so much over the last few years. I love Kenya and I always root for them to do well but not as well as us.
