9th it looks like. A procession for Ingebrightsen
Jesus that Norwegian lad looked like he had another few laps in him at that pace whereas everyone else was dead. Some shaper.
Sure he won the 5000m as well. He’s a freak
Roisin Flanagan up now in the 5000m final. Her twin sister ran in the 3000m steeplechase this morning

She did really well to hold off the challenge of the Turkish drug cheat in 4th.
