Uh, yeah, James Kosgei like nearly forgot to jump the water barrier and was headed around the track again. Oops.

Pacer Kosgei who ran the wrong way with the first waterjump in Doha have not learned anything from that....He did it once again today and had to rush up to the lead.
First km 2,40 anyway!

[IFK_Vaxjo]

Mekhissi seems to be the real deal this season too...In front with a lap to go (7.05), only Kiprouto can follow.
Unknown Chelimo 3rd.

Kiprouto takes the advantage over the water and holds on to win in 8,06.46. Mekhissi a second behind.
