t-and-f: Brussels 10K

There has been some discussion as to whether Felix Limo, listed as finishing second in the Brussels 10K, had actually been lapped. Part of the reasoning, obviously, is that Felix apparently did not have the credentials to be running anywhere near the front of such a race. His previous PR's were

t-and-f: Brussels 10k

I have noticed various postings to the list concerning the Brussels 10,000m - and the 'errors' committed by Larry Rawson etc. concerning Felix Limo at the finish. I was in Brussels, and with Steve Ovett commentated on the race in its entirety for ISL's clients, who may not have received this comme

re: t-and-f: Brussels 10k

Wasn't there a relatively recent IAAF rule requiring lap scorers in the long races and specifying that no lap scorer was supposed to be responsible for more than 3 runners? If so, there should be lap sheets for each runner recording the completion of each lap (and if they were sensible, the appro

Interesting comments from Peter and others on the Felix Limo situation. There were I recall 14 Kenyans in the 10,000 in Brussels (quite a few relatively lesser known such as Felix Limo) and so it's not surprising there was some confusion among commentators etc. I did happen to notice Limo thr

Re: (fwd) re: t-and-f: Brussels 10k

It was my understanding that runners had been wearing computer chips in the bibs this season in the big Euro meets, hence the impressive "distance behind" split for the runners in the lead pack that had been coming through each lap on the TV coverage (at least the UK version being shown downunder)
