Men's 5,000 meters 108 degrees. (574 Views)

In Today Track & Field Olympic Trials in the heat in Eugene Oregon. A contestant (Paul Chelimo?) I believe crossed the finish line 1st. He "race rode" the entire stretch forcing his adversaries further and further out. A tactic, when used on an exhausted competitor, is sufficient to avoid being passed.

An objection I shout.

In this case no harm no foul I guess. All three(3) of the top finishers headed for Tokyo anyway. Ugly Race! Certain to make the news.
