Title: Men's 5,000 meters 108 degrees.
Post by: Tavasco on June 27, 2021, 04:46:19 PM
In Today Track & Field Olympic Trials in the heat in Eugene Oregon. A contestant (Paul Chelimo?) I believe crossed the finish line 1st. He \"race rode\" the entire stretch forcing his adversaries further and further out. A tactic, when used on an exhausted competitor, is sufficient to avoid being passed.

An objection I shout.

In this case no harm no foul I guess. All three(3) of the top finishers headed for Tokyo anyway. Ugly Race! Certain to make the news.
