I thought the pace was crazy but Kiprop kept going! Great race and it wasn't even a MR. Farah unbelievable?

Re: Monaco (Herculis) m1500 (Kiprop 3:27.72; Farah 3:28.81 A

Is this 1999, or did they borrow the Rieti track?

Re: Monaco (Herculis) m1500 (Kiprop 3:27.72; Farah 3:28.81 A

That was VERY impressive. I can't see anyone touching Kiprop in Moscow.

OTOH, Manzano was disappointing. Any story there?

I thought for a second Kiprop was going for the WR... incredible race.

Steve Cram sounded devastated.

it will be a different race there because it is definitely not going to be a sub 330 without a rabbit, maybe 333-335 range

Farah needs to do an all out 5000m and take a WR shot.

Especially with Makhloufi out. Slower races are a different bucket of crabs, mind...

This is par for the course with him. Up and down. Good when he absolutely needs to be.

Farah moves up to #5 on the all time 1500m list. He's "only" #30 on the 5000m list.

I guess Farah is in pretty reasonable shape for doing well in Moscow
