That was an immense lead for the Ethiopian.
We've been so used to seeing folk win by teeny tiny amounts of time in the velodrome and the pool, that it's a bit of a shock to see someone leading by such a massive amount!
Well done to her.

Someone should explain to the Irish girl that when you're getting lapped you move over.

Her finish was very impressive. Just to run that far and then pick up the pace like that at the end is amazing.

Outstanding final lap, just to pull out such a lead so quickly. I'm in awe.

Must be so disheartening to be running your heart out and then find yourself being lapped by the front runners. I wonder why, those that are so far off the pace, I wonder why they do it.

Every race is ultimately a race against yourself.

Trying to get a PB. She's probably her national champion too and gets a look in in Euro championships.
