Rotch went really hard on his strides and you could see his teeth clenching and look tough but was giving up through the final stretch......the white guy rupp was playing smart by pacing at certain points in the race ...but i have to give it to the main guy Bekele for playing out the whole race.... Bekele had good pace and good control and final stretch he kicked hard to beat the record.... excellent performance for all three and their different strategy

White guy Rupp needs to lose more weight. I mean he looks like a fat guy relative to the Africans. And he only weights 140lbs lol.

@lamrof Bekele's manager who has a sketchy past and may or may not be involved in Bekele's superhuman recovery from injury to running 26:43

People start talking about oh Kenenisa is done, he is injured, he doesn't have the hunger anymore because he won way too much, blah blah blah. He came back and got the world best time here. Now what big mouths?
