Farah wins his final final track race in the 5,000m at Zurich. A real tight finish with the decisive factor being he had more left in his legs than at the same distance in London as he hadn't run one of the toughest 10,000m of his career a week earlier.
I can't believe Chelimo in second wasn't disqualified as he barged at Farah, Edris and Kejelcha on the line - knocking Edris over and in to Kejelcha costing them both top three finishes.
CJ Utah won a strong 100m in a season's best time to seal the Diamond League title and the GB Women's 4x100m relay team came second - after a stunning anchor leg from Elaine Thompson won it for Jamaica.Last edited by Ray de Galles; 25-08-2017, 00:47.

I can't recall ever seeing a 5000m finish like that. Chelimo would have been disqualified in a cycling sprint.
Absolutely sinking anchor leg by Elaine Thompson to overcome a 5m plus deficit and win the 4x100 for Jamaica
They did the Wonen's Pole Vault in the entrance hall to the Hauptbahnhof

Just went and watched that now on ES catch-up. Yeah, awful grab/shove from the fella there, surely a DQ.
Nice to see them cut to some long jump in the early stages of the 5000m, too, further to the previous discussion.

Originally posted by Ray de Galles View PostThat problem will be temporarily solved next time out as the Doha Worlds are running in late-September/early-October in an attempt to ameliorate the problems caused by the high temperatures.
The final events in both the decathlon and heptathlon will also take place after midnight.
Organisers also announced morning sessions would be removed from the timetable, with one-hour intervals being incorporated into evening sessions to combine fan entertainment with the sporting action.

I hadn't realized until just now that Bob Beamon's WR, which stood for 23 years, was right on the legal wind limit:
