I love their commentaries

My sentiments exactly

"Impossible for ordinary people" not a very well thought out sentence.

OK, I mean that the average person--if they tried something like this--would fine it impossible to do. Most people have "spectatoritis:" they watch other people do something, and imagine they might be able to do it (identification). But there is not relationship between watching some athletic event, and actually performing in it.

in short both athletes are amazing

@@mo_fanthe_magic_god7954 Yep especially when pumped full of drugs.. cheats. so obvious.

No phone can't beat mo Farah

+Richard Torres (runrich) ya more like 15 mph the last 400

why would he let him win? they're not even of the same country

i have looked at 59:09 and it's not what you think, kegan is just looking back to see the gap between them. why would he let him? yet they're not of the same country, you came to win make money and history and then you let for someone who is not of the same country. thats foolishness. watch at 1:03:23 and see how kegan is trying to catch up by speeding but it was too late for him. MO is the runner

+Chris Carter Actually you're wrong. It's not about being from the same country. They were taking turns leading that's why he slowed his pace to then let Mo go in front and vie versa. Some tactical long distance runners do this. It's nothing new. Kegan tried to win but he couldn't .

Seventh heaven. I accept your point. I however did not make reference to them being from the same country.

Chris Carter you didn't. The other guy did and I included that in the comment. :)

Oh ok

+Andrei Tudor The half marathon world record is 1:05:09 by Kiplagat

+Andrei Tudor this race isn't eligible for world records bc it's a downhill course ... similar to like when Geoffrey Mutai ran 2:03:02 at 2011 Boston Marathon it didn't qualify for the world record. it could be a point-to-point course but to a certain standard. the amount of elevation decline can't fall under a certain number or the record won't get ratified. Great North Run is still a great event tho, clearly draws big numbers both at local level, international level, and elites. I hope to run this some day.

***** dude. i dont hate Farah at all, he is a great runner, and i love the way he is always smiling. BUT i cant handle that people are saying he is British, he is from got dam somalia, he was born in somalia, have somalia blood and everything. and then i dont agree then they say he is the greatest of them all. he runs good, but when you think about it, he only win because the race is slow. like in the World championship he run in 13.41 and WON. thats a really really really slow time for a World championship on 5000m. and way on. i think you get what i am trying to say.

***** and then look at this race. Dont tell me that Kigen didnt let Farah win.! everybody can see it dude.

***** Dude. Everyone can see it. Look at the comments below, We can al see that Kigen let Farah win, Dont lie to yourself and us. you sound stupid when you do that. Lol, so because i said he is from Somalia and not Britain then now i am a racist!?? wow. You need to calm Down kid.

***** are you dumb.!? if you say he is British, then Kipketer is Danish too. !

Ignorance and yet another person that thinks they are Godly. It is only people opinion that Kiegen let Farah win. What kind of person competes in a race just to aim for second? Such a stupid thought. Also who cares if he was Somalian like we are in the 21st century get over your self. If he chose to be British let him as nationality is only a label. Get rid of everyone's nationality and everyone is a human being, nothing else but that. Have you forgotten about Americans. Where did they come from? Oh yeah Britain and Africa but they're nationality is American but no one is complaining. America is completely made up of foreigners apart from the native Americans that where there before anyone else. And tbh I could go on for hours but not worth my time.

That's what it looked like to me too.

at 1:01:27 kegan tried to speed up but it was too late for him. and to be honest to yourself MO is a beast. they're not of the same country what made you think he let MO WIN?. stop jealousy dude, MO FARAH THE CHAMPION ACCEPT IT. don't fool yourself around

+knotyourfriend impossble after running for that distance. This is a race. they were taking turn leading. I doubt anyone would let anyone win.

+kahil mohamed Kigen clearly waited for Mo many times. The whole race video speaks for itself.

Allan Ching i wonder if u use to watch marathons. This is not brother and sister game where u let ur sister win sometimes to make her happy. Get ur facts right dude. They are not friends they are not of the same country they are not even of the same continent. Everybody came to win not lose. Beside personal achievements, everbody is also running to bring honor to his country. If u say keagan let Mo Farah win. Its really loughable. Don't make me ask u how old u are bcz thats childish story

saber s. because he is muslim and black

this doesn't make you look as "smart" as you think you are. It makes you look like an asshole.

Blake Meisner not trying to be ‘smart’. Just saying how it is...

What

@@waterproof4403 farah was the poster boy for British athletics as well as the face for many sponsors at the time. The sponsors and British athletics etc.. are all friends and are linked. They need Farah to win. Makes them all look good, good for the business makes them more money etc.. Farah was not in good shape at the time. Kigen was farahs training partner. As a runner you can clearly see that Kigen is waiting for Farah. He could have won, but people would have told him to let Farah win if this situation occurred. It’s obvious to see as a runner, and if you know how they operate business at the corporate high end you can see why...

+Jay Reid In the nursing home.

duenodelustucru your comment is so disgusting

deunol........, Here in the USA, we would be glad to have him here and represent us. Heck, I think there's no country that wouldn't want or wish to have him. UK isn't the same, it's becoming the melting pot somewhat like the USA. It's the side effect of "the sun never sets from our flag".

+Tummun What are you talking about? We're extremely proud of Mo Farah in the U.K., and do not see him as a foreigner; we gave him a Knighthood for crying out loud. In the U.S., you refer to minority groups as african-americans, asian-americans, etc. Whereas, in the U.K., we regard everyone as just British, whatever their background. Britain abolished slavery well before America did, and we introduced a race-relations act well before America passed the Civil Rights Act, so stop acting like some kind of authority with "Here in the USA" because you're not impressing anyone.

+andej You're a bit wrong there, everybody with US citizenship is American. Plus in GB they also have sub-groups of race, black people, Asian people, white people, etc. Don't act like GB is all that. You're doing the exact same thing he is, you hypocrite

_Here in the USA, we would be glad to have him here and represent us._ You sure about that? You think the marchers in Charlottesville, VA, would be "glad to have him"? Or do you think they'd sooner lynch him than have him?

Nice analysis, so how much did he give and co signed bcz this is the biggest crime one can do in sport, beside that i never heard anyone else mention that apart some few funny haters commenting here.

Kahil Mohamed, It's not a crime to hire a pacer. I used to run to compete track & field and cross country in high school and for university. If you don't step out if the track or course, or they/runners don't commit un-sportsmanship conduct. Pacers are very common in the running world and are legitimate. Another name known for a pacer is a rabbit. Look at track and field events, the event hosts will hire and pay for the rabbits. PLS WATCH THE LAST 3 miles OF THIS EVENT AND YOU WILL SEE HIM WAITING FARAH AND YOU WILL HEAR HIM SAY SOMETHING TO HIM. Perhaps, words of encouragement. I think Mohamed Farah might be the 1st born or naturalize citizen to win this race. Meaning, he had an excellent reason to hire a pace setter and win. HISTORY IT IS. In middle and long distances, there's always someone running just a head of the pack/runners and after few laps they dropout and pull off the race completely. The rabbits job is to pace runners or electrify the event for the fans. Otherwise, runners might strategize too much and run slow the entire race then run very fast in the last few laps to win. Like Mohamed Farah, he's an excellent kicker or finisher. It's very rare to out kick him on his main events. It's perfectly allowed to have a pace setter. It's also allowed to hire pace setters.

"Do an unbiased analysis." "I'm the biggest supporter of Mohamed Farah. One can only equal to me." "You can only measure to me." Bruh do you see how naive you sounded? lol. Just stfu with that crap please. And we don't need your knowledge of Mo's proper written name. It's unnecessary. It doesn't make you look smart. It makes you look like an ass.

Blake Meisner I know I sure did hit a major nerve when I wrote Mohamed Farah, you wanna white wash him? You want him to take whatever identity you may posses. Haha, you are too immature and too fragile it sure shows. Deal with it sucker he is Mohamed and he will always be Mohamed the son of Farah. Yes paw paw in your face kid. MOHAMED FARAH how does that make anyone sound smart. You’re an idiot therefor stay in the damn basement ya arse hole.

@@AncientPharaoh You seem to take pleasure in insulting and marginalizing strangers on the internet. And I wasn't talking about the fact his name is Mohamed Farah. That is universally known. You mentioned his "proper Somali written name" Maxamed Faarax. You're trying to flaunt your "impressive" knowledge in front of everyone here and it's sad. Keep on insulting me if you please. Goes to show how childish and approval seeking you are.

Mo was the favorite going into the race..and he represented the commentators country....why wouldn't he talk about him the whole time? lol

@@blakemeisner1954 if only kenenisa was there

And kenenisa

Yeah that's right he need to lose those muscles

He just contracted him to be his pacer!☹ most of the runners have there pacers!😃

+The Walking Trade youve obviously ever raced competivly. and know nothing about racing

+Mrfluffyllama1 Kigen was largely superior He just waited his boss in the final. If the pacer beats the boss who hired him... It would be funny. I came from a sport where many course are "bought": bicycle.

bruh...that was Mo's pacer. He tried beating Mo in the last 200m, as any competitive person would do, but he lost. That "AgReeMeNt" you're talking about was them communicating race strategy and pacing.

It's a strategy of racing. It's just the matter of who won at the end. Farah clearly drafted off of him and this strategy really helps.

It's not like Farah didn't run the same distance as Kiegen. So how is that letting Kiegan do all the work.

Noah Carpenter that's true. My cross country/Track coach told me to stay tucked in behind the leading racers at the state track meet for the 3200m since it was very windy and the race was very slow and strategic. And during the race the leaders dies out heavily and it was left to the kickers who raced smart and stayed back during the first few laps.
