I thought Brazier had cocked it up by going with Vazquez

I finally got to watch the replay, having missed it at work (I recorded it while I was away).

For a moment, it might have looked that way. Except that he knew that backstraight was the point where Vázquez would eventually crap out. He did the very thing Ajee didn't, which was to open it up and put a big-enough gap between him and the field, and dare them to catch him. That seems to be the way to go when you're barely in front with 300 to 350m to go.

Murphy is coached by Salazar.

Not any more. That explains somethings.

He didn't do particularly well under Salazar, he should come back with coach Lee Badie (not sure the spelling is correct) who brought him to 1.42...

To my knowledge, both are coached by Pete Julian. I've watch the race a couple times and noticed Murphy walks off the track without congratulating Brazier. Weak sauce.

Not surprising when you run with a group where the only thing that matters is how great you run....

One underrated moment was when Tuka saw the race getting away from him and pulled from the pack to begin a lonely chase. Brazier was gone but the silver was won in that decision not hang out with Rotich and Murphy.
