McCullough sat on the back of the lead group doing no work until Hayden's group got to within 10-15 seconds - then he dropped back and dragged them up the last little bit.

Good work Dylan!

Hopefully he can help Wilde on the run. The 32 man lead group appear to be too far away from the rest of the field

Damo

What sort of time do they run 10k in?

canefan

Wilde away smoothly. Someone is 10000m away from a medal. Is Wilde a strong runner? His arch rival Alex Yee is leading out trying to get away early

Damo

Wilde is in about 4th from the looks of it. Pretty close. Yee is flying at the front but a bit early to mean much.

canefan

Second now. And closing in on Yee

Toddy

@Damo 30 minutes?

canefan

This is going to be epic. They are neck and neck now

Damo

This is going to be a great race from here. Two front leaders seem to be a long way ahead.

Toddy

Dude from Norway looked like a middle aged man

Unless he does a Craig Barrett, the worst Wilde can do is silver you would think. Apparently Wilde doesn't usually run down Yee. I was going to say Wilde should try to crack Yee. Just as I type Wilde is trying to push away from Yee

Toddy

Go hard right. Gold or blow out

Yup. Go hard or go home. You can't see the margin, but it looks like a significant distance and pulling away

canefan

Wilde is putting the hammer down. Yee doesn't seem to have an answer. Wow

5 second gap now between Hayden and Yee

canefan

Looks strong. I can't believe Yee would let him go like that unless he didn't have the gas

Bones

Running Wilde

canefan

He has a watch in his hand that he keeps looking at. Seems like a man with a plan

canefan

15 seconds!

canefan

Didn't Wilde get penalised in the Tokyo event? Ended up with bronze instead of silver?

Edit, it was the comm games, cost him the gold to Yee

Damo

Down to 12 seconds now. Hope he can keep this up.
