initial situation

The favorite of this race was the British defending champion Mo Farah. His strongest opponents were seen in his US-American training colleague Galen Rupp and the runners from Kenya, represented by the third of the last World Championships Paul Tanui and the World Cup sixth Bedan Karoki. The Ethiopians, on the other hand, weren't quite as strong this time. Vice world champion Ibrahim Jeilan, the World Cup fifth Abera Kuma and the Bekele brothers were no longer at the start.

Race course

August 22, 2015, 8:50 pm local time (2:50 pm CEST )

After the first few thousand meters with Tanui as the leader in 2: 52.22 minutes, the race became really fast. His compatriot Geoffrey Kamworor led the field at the 2000 meter mark, the second kilometer was covered in 2: 39.89 minutes. Afterwards, the Kenyans ensured a high pace with 1000 meter sections of around 2:42 minutes. At first the field stayed together, but after the third kilometer the leading group gradually got smaller.

Up to six kilometers this group consisted of thirteen runners, then after a short time with the three Kenyans Karoki, Kamworor and Tanui as well as Farah and Rupp there were only five front runners. These five stayed together at the same high pace until the beginning of the last lap. Farah in the lead accelerated in the first corner. At first only the second placed Kamworor could follow the British. But Tanui reconnected and took second position behind Farah on the target corner. The gap between Rupp and Karoki continued to grow. Shortly before the home stretch, Tanui countered the attack of his compatriot and was second again.

In the last hundred meters, Mo Farah played out his great sprint force and became the undisputed world champion at this distance for the second time. He was followed by Paul Tanui as vice world champion and Geoffrey Kamworor as third. The third Kenyan Bedan Karoki was fourth ahead of Galen Rupp. More than thirty seconds later, the next runners crossed the finish line. Abrar Osman from Eritrea came in sixth place ahead of Ali Kaya and Timothy Toroitich, who started for Turkey, and Joshua Cheptegei, both from Uganda. As the best runner of the Ethiopians who are otherwise so successful in this discipline, Muktar Edris crossed the finish line in tenth place.

Mo Farah won his second title as world champion over 10,000 meters after 2013 and after his second place at the 2011 World Championships . It was his first World Cup title here in Beijing . A week later, his second over 5000 meters should follow.
