Mo Farah, Eliud Kipchoge, Galen Rupp, & Bernard Lagat || Historic Finish To 5,000 Meter Gold

I can't physically comprehend running a 52 second 400m at the end of a 5k, I can't even do that for 400m alone that is already a reasonable highschool 400m winning time.

[@djboriqua1274]

2009 worlds had an impressive lineup as well in the 5000m...the legendary Kenenisa Bekele (who led the last four laps and ran them in 3m58s) took gold with a similar finishing sprint to beat Bernard Lagat...Kipchoge was 5th...and Farrah was 7th with a time of 13.19 which was faster than his winning time in 2011...

[@kimmern999]

There has been 17 WC in 5000m. From 1983 to 2019. Only three (!) of the winning times (1983, 1987 and 2007) were weaker than Mo Farah's fastest winning time from his three gold medals. There is no doubt he solely benefited hugely on his opponents failing to see that Mo Farah had low capacity but amazing kick down. They never learned that the way to beat him was to run fast times.

[@pelman5483]

Farah's record at championships is extraordinary. And he was often alone and up against team tactics and a lot of very obvious tripping attempts. Although Galen did give him some shielding on occasion. I'd have liked to have seen the odd WR to silence the doubters but he didn't really attempt those - gold medals mean more I guess.

[@siphenkosifiltane4200]

Bad tactics by Eluid for waiting that long as he has a bigger engine.

[@Kipchoge475]

I think Eliud still has a very slim chance even if he went out hard in the initial stages or the middle part of the race, as mo and Bernard can also hang with him at say 61-63 seconds per lap pace, and he simply lacks the finishing kick to beat those two if it comes to the last 400m.

[@timmytheinventor4746]

@@Kipchoge475 Nah bro, you should have seen Eliud's kick to win in 2003. Granted, the pace was very fast before the final 400, but he went crazy to kick down El Geurrouj on that final straight.

@@timmytheinventor4746 that was in 2003.

[@timmytheinventor4746]

@@Kipchoge475 Yeah I get your point. If he was able to make the final he should have had a better kick. It was really Lagat that shuffled everyone around in this race.

[@andrewyarosh1809]

Wow, distance athletes actually competing with each other. Those were the days, when racing against the best mattered, instead of chasing artificial world records on robotic shoes in paced races.

[@kimmern999]

Except they didn't run distance running runs though. They jogged around the track for more than half the race in the hope that they could/might outrun some of their opponents over the last two laps. Before this, distance running was always about putting your body to the test when it came to raw stamina and capacity. Runners like Haile Gebrselassie, Kenenisa Bekele, Daniel Komen, etc. always ran amazing times pushing the boundaries of what was humanly possible to do when it came to low times. This stupid waiting game during Farah's era produced some of the poorest chamionship winning times ever seen in the history of athletics.

[@andrewyarosh1809]

@@kimmern999 if you like watching one robotic, chemically and mechanically enhanced competitor glide behind a wall of pacers to break “records,” that is your privilege, but it is not athletic COMPETITION. It’s an exhibition, and has all the excitement of a local charity run. Lovely for the runners (and in the case of the modern automatons, they are getting paid well) but as boring as watching boats drift down a canal. You state, “But they didn’t run distance running runs?” Seriously? So according to you, the runners of the past didn’t “run” when they competed in 3-10K & the marathon. This will come as a surprise to competitors going back to Zatopek and Nurmi. This video, which shows the best of their time matching skills, wits, and heart against one another is what running used to be all about. And records were set when the best runners pushed one another, not when a sponsor or two, paying for training and pacers, put a robot on the track or road to chase numbers.

[@kimmern999]

@@andrewyarosh1809 When you win the 5000m in 13:50 which Farah did in 2015 WC, there is no one pushing anyone. They just check to see which distance runner who can run 800m the fastest. And why do you talk like I primarily advocate todays "robotic" record running? I'm just saying that Mo Farah wasn't a true distance runner. There have been 17 WCs in the 5000m. Only three of those have had winning times that were weaker than Mo Farah's fastest winning time. Out of the 11 WC winners who ran faster than Farah (most of them significantly faster), only two of them have come later. Nine of those times (usually ran around the 13 minute mark) came at WCs predating Farah's dominance. I'd appreciate if you could refrain from putting words in my mouth.
