Solinsky’s 6th within 0.4 of Ritz’s old mark.
Impressive race by both Lagat and Solinsky. I heard the conditions were great.

16 second PR for Solinsky! Man, that’s huge…

Amazing! His winter of training must have put Rocky to shame!
And even more amazing for Lagat. Couldn’t happen to a better guy.
Chris has been targeting this race and the Pre Classic in Eugene next month. His goal has been 5K AR. The 10K was just fortuitous.
It is nice to see someone with such talent find a way to take advantage of it.
Let’s hope for two American runners in the low 12:50’s at Prefontaine.
Another great meet at Bislett/Oslo. I have been there several times when I lived in Norway. The spectators are knowledble and really get behind the runners if it is 100 meters or 5000.
