I haven't seen the video at this writing but splits look like Kipsang took it out from the start hitting 27.11 at 200, 56.01 at 400. Then he went through 800 at 1:54.19 and everyone right behind. At 1200 its Ingebrigtsen at 2:49.53 with Kerr right on him at 2:49.58. Down the backstretch at 1300, Kerr is leading 3:02.83 to Inge's 3:02.85. Then around the last turn at 1400 it's Ingebrigtsen leading 3:15.74 to Kerr's 3:15.76. So it's a 100 meter sprint remaining with Kerr blowing Ingebrigtsen's doors off 13.62 to 13.91. Not having seen the film, I cannot comment on the interactions, bumping or anything untoward that may have gone on during the race. I do know a number of our readers are happy to see Kerr or anyone for that matter win after Ingebrigtsen's showboating in the prelim.
I'll add the other prelims tomorrow morning. Good night.
