It's absolutely insane to be able to close the last 800m in 1:54 in such a fast paced race. He can't be too far of the ethiopian record from Gebreselassie. Komen 7:20 is just straight out of a video game so I don't think it's under threat really.

Impressive run by Kejelcha. But it is the third fastest 3000m since 2011 as Alamirew ran 7:27.26 in Doha, and Eliud Kipchoge and Soi ran sub 7:28:00 in the same race.

Shoulda gone 200m more, broken 2 mile WR

[aresmars]

Wow! That's on track for two 4-minute miles!

[christose]

that kick was impossible! very talented.

No clue what the announcers are saying, _ but I rarely listen to them anyway so. 😂

[R-nh]

Lol. No surprise considering he’s wearing a Nike Oregon singlet. They have some great doctors. 😂

2:01 guy in orange isn’t that a false start at the line if you move a little?

[peterlewis]

Getting closer, but its still 8sec slower than Daniel Komens 7min 20sec., and in race terms, that's still a lot.

[tombradygoat]

It’s crazy how he closed in a 51 when his 400 PR would only be like a 47-48

[shrekisLifee]

Wow. Closed in 51.1 too, with no competition either. Get him into a 5000.

[crispineve]

OMG I can’t believe nobody’s mentioning the was literally nobody there to see it. SH#t crowd, shame!
