The 5km point had been passed in around 13:23, with Farah to the fore. The top five all went sub-27:00, with Farah followed by Kenya’s William Malel Sitonik with a 26:54.66 PB, Ethiopia’s Tamirat Tola with a 26:57.33 PB, Kenya’s Stephen Sambu with 26:58.25 and Ethiopia’s 2011 world champion Ibrahim Jeilan with a 26:58.75 PB.
