final
August 8, 2017, 9:10 p.m. local time (10:10 p.m. CEST )
Top favorites were as always in recent years, runners from Kenya, led by the Olympic champion in 2016 and runner-up of 2013 / 2015 Conseslus Kipruto and the world champion of 2013 and 2015 Ezekiel Kemboi. The third Kenyan in the final was Jairus Birech, who, however, had not been particularly convincing in the run-up. The fourth participant from Kenya, Brimin Kipruto, third in the 2015 World Cup , was surprisingly eliminated in the preliminary round. The main competitors for the Kenyans included the US Olympic runner-up in 2016 Evan Jager and the French Olympic runner-up in 2012 Mahiedine Mekhissi, who were also Olympic third in 2016 and third in the 2013 World Cup .
The final started at a moderate pace. Most of the time Birech led the tightly packed field. Kipruto, Jager and the Ethiopians Getnet Wale and Tesfaye Deriba were also ahead. The first thousand meters were covered in 2: 51.81 minutes. Then Jager took over the leadership and stepped up the pace. The second kilometer was significantly faster than the first at 2: 43.65 minutes. The field now expanded significantly more. The American was followed by the three Kenyans and the Moroccan Soufiane El Bakkali. Birech soon had to let go and behind Jager, Kipruto, Kemboi and El Bakkali a gap opened up to the pursuers. The four leaders were followed by another American, Stanley Kebenei. There was another gap behind Kebenei for the next runners. On the penultimate lap, defending champion Kemboi could no longer keep up the pace of the leaders. He kept falling back and was soon passed by Kebenei and then by other participants.
So it went into the last lap with Jager in the lead and Kipruto and El Bakkali on his heels. The distance to the pursuers continued to increase and was already about twenty meters on the last back straight. Before the start of the finish curve, Kipruto attacked and took the lead. El Bakkali also passed Jager. On the home stretch, Conseslus Kipruto clearly prevailed and has now won his first world title after winning the Olympic Games in 2016. Soufiane El Bakkali crossed the finish line in second, while Jager ran out of strength at the end. Behind him, Mekhissi fought his way closer and closer to the American with a strong final sprint. But it wasn't enough, Evan Jager won the bronze medal, Mahiedine Mekhissi came fourth. Stanley Kebenei finished fifth ahead of the Canadian Matthew Hughes and the two Ethiopians Tesfaye Deriba and Tafese Seboka.
