Das Rennen

Der britische Doppelolympiasieger von 2012 über 5000 und 10.000 Meter Mo Farah hatte als Doppelweltmeister über die beiden Bahnlangstrecken von 2013 und 2015 auch hier wieder die klare Favoritenrolle inne. Seine stärksten Gegner kamen aus den afrikanischen Ländern Kenia, Äthiopien und Eritrea. Vor allem die drei bei den letzten Weltmeisterschaften hinter Farah platzierten Kenianer Geoffrey Kamworor, Paul Tanui und Bedan Karoki hatten große Ambitionen, den Briten diesmal zu schlagen. Auch Farahs US-amerikanischer Trainingskollege Galen Rupp war wieder stark einzuschätzen.

Farah reihte sich in den ersten Runden wie von ihm gewohnt im Feld mit Kontakt zur Spitze ein. Die ersten tausend Meter wurden mit 2:55,20 min zurückhaltend gelaufen. Anschließend zogen die Läufer das Tempo immer mehr an. Nach drei Kilometern übernahmen die Äthiopier Tamirat Tola und Yigrem Demelash die Führungsarbeit. Über viele Runden arbeiteten diese beiden mit Wechseln an der Spitze zusammen und hielten das Tempo hoch. Die 1000-Meter-Abschnitte zwischen Kilometer drei und acht wurden in Zeiten von jeweils nur knapp über 2:40 min absolviert. Die Kenianer Tanui und Kamworor waren die ersten Verfolger der Äthiopier. Auch Farah gehörte dieser Spitzengruppe an. Kurz vor der Hälfte des Rennens kam er zu Fall, rappelte sich jedoch schnell wieder hoch und konnte das Rennen problemlos fortsetzen.

Auf dem vorletzten Kilometer wurde das Rennen noch schneller, die Führungsgruppe bestand auf den letzten Runden noch aus den sechs Läufern Tanui, Tola, Demelash, Farah, Rupp und Joshua Cheptegei aus Uganda. Tausend Meter vor Schluss ergriff Farah erstmals die Initiative und erhöhte das Tempo entscheidend. Cheptegei musste nun abreißen lassen.

Auf der Gegengeraden der Schlussrunde startete Tanui einen Angriff, das hohe Tempo sprengte die Führungsgruppe. Nur Farah blieb dem Kenianer auf den Fersen, dahinter riss jetzt eine Lücke auf. Auf der Zielgeraden zog Farah mit seinem starken Schlussspurt an Tanui vorbei und gewann damit seine dritte Goldmedaille insgesamt, die erste hier in Rio. Der WM-Dritte Paul Tanui errang Silber, Bronze ging Tamirat Tola vor Yigrem Demelash und Galen Rupp. Joshua Cheptegei belegte Rang sechs, Bedan Karoki wurde Siebter vor Zersenay Tadese aus Eritrea.

Nur um genau vier Sekunden verfehlte Mo Farah mit seiner Siegerzeit Kenenisa Bekeles olympischen Rekord von 2008. Den letzten Kilometer hatte der Brite in 2:28,22 min zurückgelegt.
