Kleckers villain origin story. The best is yet to come

[@gregginter5867]

Is he the son of that famous Klecker couple fr MN? Joe Sr was an intlly famous snow-shoe ultra-marathoner! He once ran a marathon on a broken foot! Classic high-pain threshold runner! And mom, was just a gorgeous runner!

[@brokenrulerlabs]

Go Klecker! Besides cheering for Joe, I really like the vide of this meet. I'm watching the overhead cam footage of the train coming into the finish and everyone seems so chill, no tension in the crowd. Must have been an enjoyable experience. It's what I love about athletics overall. We can have these fun meets outside the major championships. Really liking where the sport is going.

[@pukulu]

Klecker is 6' and Kincaid is 5'10" but they're also built differently. Klecker has long legs, broad shoulders and looks like he could have been a boxer if he had been guided in that direction when he was younger. Kincaid has much shorter legs and a shorter stride. The main thing of course is great conditioning, which both of them have.

[@jordanross634]

Happy for Woody. Klecker is a beast as well! Fun to watch them battle it out. I am also a Conner Mantz fan, so it was great to see him finish near the top.

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THE VIDEOS 🙏🙏🙏

[@kevinwachter6543]

Keep Kickin Kincaid!!! Great job Woody.

[@phillylifer]

Brilliant commentary thank god for once

[@benanastasoff7603]

Realistically, Atkin was never a threat to a Mo Farah record. I don't know why he would be upset Sounds Running didn't list him as a threat to the 26:46 that Farah ran in 2011. Plus, he dropped out. All talk, no action

[@dennisnelson8564]

Did Joe get tripped up at 24:43 (on the clock)?

[@marcumxc]

He got spiked in the calf by woody. Almost couldn’t finish the race because his calf cramped up right afterwards

Athanas Kioko is such a badass

[@ddhurry4168]

I thought that was pretty badass, to do a great job on pacing then just say F@#$ it I'm finishing

[@roro_81]

His form, even though it seems pretty exaggerated, looks sooo smooth at the same time lol

[@cber5077]

@@ddhurry4168 actually he did a bad job pacing and to stay in the race means he was more concerned with himself than getting the pacing right. Those 64 high laps should have been 63 highs, especially once they knew they were off pace.

[@matthewkelly6012]

@@cber5077 I disagree. He brought them through 13:36 when they wanted 13:30. Not every pacer is Eric Sowinski and brings the field through to within like 0.1 of an 800m split. It gets a lot harder over 5k. Running 13:36 when they wanted 13:30 is a 0.7% error. A similar error through 800m of a 800m of a 1500m where they wanted 1:52.00 would be like running 1:52.83. Also, once they ran a bunch of 65 highs and 66 lows, I don't think Woody or Joe really would have wanted him to start running 2-3 seconds faster and run 63s to try to make up all the time right away. It's a long race. I respect your opinion, though. This is just what I think. I'm also a bit biased because I was there in 2022 at NCAAs when Kioko took the 10000m out and I absolutely will love him forever because of it lol.

[@ddhurry4168]

@Matthew Kelly totally. If he started throwing out 60s laps to get on planned pace everyone would have gotten blown out.

[@esgee3829]

these two are so much better than bob babbitt

[@cber5077]

Why was klecker so mad at woody; was it because woody did come around and lead when Joe asked? Either way, woody still paced him the last 2 laps, so klecker has no one to blame but himself for not losing. My other comment is that despite what the commentators said, the pacing was not good. They were down 6secs at 5k and didn’t make any of that up before stepping off. Kioko especially should have done more considering he stayed in the race!

[@matthewkelly6012]

6 seconds off is basically nothing, especially considering the fact that they barely negative split. If they went 13:36 and then 13:20, I would agree that the pacing being 6secs slow actually was detrimental, but the fact they ran 13:36 13:31 seems like basically perfect splits for a 10k. Cheptegei's 10000m world record, Solinsky's 10000m AR were both negative splits (Cheptegei 13:07.73 + 13:03.27; Solinsky 13:34.2 + 13:25.7). Woody also probably could have helped a little earlier.

[@cuberkiddo7348]

Klecker said on his Twitter that when Woody clipped him at 24:43 his calf seized up

[@Trailcat2024]

@@matthewkelly6012 even when Oli took over pacing , they were running 65’s.

[@marcumxc]

Woody spiked him in the calf and then immediately went around after not helping to get the Olympic standard. Surely was an accident but unfortunate to see

[@landonboomsma2594]

Kioko said they wanted 13:35 and he was 1 second off

[@Unnamed-hs5hg]

This woman commentator doesn’t seem to get her thoughts together.

[@leorunsoregon2082]

I was thinking the same thing

[@Thomas-fk3cw]

That's so atypical of a woman. 🤔🤐

[@Code_Ramen717]

Very cringe of Woody for not leading more: is this about winning heats or running fast times?

[@slutzkpc29]

They both p.r.'d and made the world standard but agreed could have been a more equitable effort

[@finniankephart8158]

I mean 27:06 is nothing to be ashamed of lol. Also I would much rather walk home with the dub, very cringe of you for commenting that. Let the man do what he wants

[@dieterdodel3001]

Die Kollegen waren viel langsamer unterwegs. Nie im Leben war das ne 27er Zeit. Das wären ja schon Profi Zeiten😂😂😂. Lächerlich

Gran carrera y espero que Mantz siga mejorando para estar disputando el 1er lugar, saludos desde Los Sauces Chile.

"...of the world 10000 meters race...", mercy on that arrogance

[@i64stupid]

These guys should be helping each other run faster. I get that its a race but placing results really only count when medals are at stake. Woody would have been better off risking a 2nd place finish if it meant breaking 27:00
