initial situation
As in the race a good week later over 5000 meters , it had to be clarified how long the dominance of the Brit Mo Farah would continue. He finished second at the 2011 World Championships , and in 2013 and 2015 he had double victories over 5000 and 10,000 meters, as well as at the 2012 and 2016 Olympic Games . His closest competitor of Olympic silver medalist from 2016 and belonged WM -Third of 2013/2015 Paul Tanui from Kenya, his compatriot had to have Bedan Karoki Muchiri, numerous top rankings in world championships and Olympic Games (including WM -Vierter 2015) and the US-American Galen Rupp, Olympic runner-up in 2012, World Cup fifth in 2015 and decorated with other great successes.
Race course
August 4, 2017, 9:20 p.m. local time (10:20 p.m. CEST )
The race was very rough right from the start. Again and again the Kenyan runners took the lead and tightened their pace. Farah did not let himself be disturbed by this and ran at his own pace, sometimes up to twenty meters from the top. The pace was extremely high on the entire route with 1000-meter sections of around 2:40 minutes. It was all the more astonishing that a large group stayed together for a long time. Only after the first half of the course did the formation of an initially large group of fourteen runners begin, which shrank to nine athletes by the final kilometer. Towards the end of the race, Farah oriented himself further forward and took the lead for a short time. In the last 800 meters, the top group of eight runners was led by the Ethiopian Abadi Hadis. Almost 700 meters from the finish, Farah took the lead and increased the pace.
When it came to the final round, Farah was leading the three Kenyans Tanui, Muchiri and Geoffrey Kamworor as well as Joshua Kiprui Cheptegei from Uganda and the Ethiopian Jemal Yimer. All other competitors had meanwhile lost touch with these six runners. In the curve that followed, Farah got a little out of step when he stepped onto the inside edge, but was able to maintain his lead. On the back straight, first Kamworor and then Yimer had to tear down. On the home stretch, Mo Farah was again the fastest and secured his sixth world title in a row. Silver went to Joshua Cheptegei, who passed Paul Tanui by accelerating on the final meters and relegated to third place. As in the previous World Championships, Bedan Muchiri came fourth. The next places went to Jemal Yimer - fifth, Geoffrey Kamworor - sixth, Abadi Hadis - seventh - and the Canadian Mohammed Ahmed in eighth with a new national record.
