Imagine coming home from this race and answering your girlfriend/wife when she asks, “So how did you do?”
by saying, There’s good news and bad news.”
“What’s the good news?”
“I ran 12:57.”
“That’s fantastic. Sub-thirteen minutes by three seconds! We should celebrate. You’re going to make the Olympic team for sure. So what’s the bad news?”
“I came in 20th.”

Bro casually dropped a 3:58 mile at the end of a fast 5k

men under 13:00, incredible! Once upon a time, the world record was 13:00.41 by David Morecroft of Great Britain . Congratulations to the champions for an outstanding performance and the other athletes on a fine race. Thank you for posting and greetings from America.

This must be the fastest 5000m race in history? Mind blowing to see the 'loser' ran 12:38.95!

[bennipollner]

I think this is even more impressive than the WR, coz this eas an actual race.
Gebhriwet won against Kejelcha and Jacob Kiplimo, lez that sink in!🎉😮😊😊

Just wow🥵

[jocycles]

Great race!
been a while for Gebrehiwet. Good for you! Congratz!

In the London 2012 Olympics, Gebrehiwot was hustling and bustling with Mo Farah in that iconic last lap mad rush for gold where 12+ athletes were all in it for the win. That was 12 years ago. Fast forward in time and Mo Farah was long past his prime and now retired entirely from competetive racing. Gebrehiwot is still racing, not just racing but is also brushing with breaking the 5000 meter world record. Unbelievable. He has a good longevity on the track racing similar to the great Yifter the Shifter.

Last km 2:25. Last 800m 1:54. Last lap: :55. I think Kejelcha probably thought he was going to win, but 12:38.95 is only good enough for 2nd place!! Finally somebody else beat Bekele's run from 2005. The WR run by Cheptegei was the only run faster than his in almost 20 years until today. The track shoes aren't making that much difference or there would be way more runners who had beaten 12:37 in all those years. This was probably the greatest race ever, though. Cheptegei was soundly beaten and now Gebrwihet is probably the favourite for Paris.

Qué carrera solo en Bislett se dan este tipo de competencias, una bestialidad de tiempos, mención especial Grijalñva, el guatemalteco no tiene miedo de enfrentar a los africanos solo, es un león

[emiliofuentescerda]

Gebrhiwet ahora debe aspirar a Romper el Récord Mundial y ha quedado muy bien posicionado para obtener el Oro en Paris.
Y Luis Grijalva, orgullo latinoamericano, sigue mejorando sus tiempos en esta distancia y asentándose en la Élite Mundial.

Basically PBs for everyone in the field! Insane race!

[StanleyNewman-bkbh]

What a race!! Gebrihwet was on his 🐎 that last lap. He dusted them jokers off😂

[englishman]

Oh no ! The great Kenenisa Bekele's national record has finally been broken.

[Thermolizer]

To put this race into perspective 2 time Olympic and 3 time world championship 5000m gold medalist Mo Farah's PB of 12:53.11 would place him 10th in this race

[j.d.thompson]

What did I just watch? That was unreal!

[martinst]

This was a mind blowing performance!!! I love the fact that his running style is like a bog standard vet club runner 🤣. And the fact that the commentators didn't even mention him until he forced the issue!

[David-hoem]

Thanks for posting. Hard to watch the 'official' nbc broadcast.

Осло как всегда - место рекордов. Отличная погода для бега на длинные дистанции и великолепные зрители. Ещё со времен Рона Кларка 27:39 - но Кларк бежал по гаревой дорожке, разрытой шипами, так что приходилось бежать все дальше и дальше от бровки….

[georgelee]

one of the fastest 5ks ever run. good to see!!!
