Comfortable win for the US in the 4x4 heat. They’ll surely break their Tokyo hoodoo in this event.

How do the Polish have such a good 400m pedigree?

you are inviting a waterfall of WW2 ‘jokes’

A lot of schools have an athletics track attached to the playing fields.

This is a fast men’s 5,000. Looking like a sub 13 minute.

Ugandan trying to run fast finish out of Katir

championship running is proper cat and mouse

Have to do it to try and run legs off Katir

It’s slowing down a bit now though over the last kilometre. Someone needs to up the pace again.

They’ve burned off Katir. Love to see Cheptegei win it.

55.10 last 400m. Brilliant run and win Cheptegei. Perfect race really from him

Redemption for Cheptegei for the 10,000. He wins in 12.58.15. A 55 second last lap. Great race and tactical championship running.

Uganda wouldn’t be that well known for running would they?

Serious finish from Cheptegei.

Steven Kiprotich won the marathon in 2012.

John Akii-Bua won the 400 metres hurdles in Munich in 1972. They’ve had a few top class distance athletes over the year, but the poorer East African relations to Kenya and Ethiopia.
