Ah lovely. Cheptegei got it. Thatâll sicken the Ethiopians. They annoy me with their âteam runningâ.

How the hell did that not get top billing on RTE/BBC?
Always one of my favourite events when the bell goes and they all sprint like fuck.

It must be some rights thing where Discovery/Eurosports were only allowed to show it.
Didnât Discovery pay some outlandish price for coverage?
I expect Mattie McGrath or ROD to bring it up in the DĂĄil in September
Ah that was one of the all time great 10,000 meters.

I always had a bit of a soft spot for Uganda runners. Probably goes back to John Akii-Bua.

Plenty of empty seats in the Stade de France for this blue riband event.
Watched it as live on RTĂ there. Awesome race. The tactics and ebb-and-flow of positions. Incredible

Same. It flew by with the intrigue. Greg Allen really deserves his shot at the big time, heâs very good on commentary.
