Related World 100m bronze medallist Trayvon Bromell timed 10.09 for third. European 5,000m silver medallist Mohamed Katir shocked a fine field that included the 10,000m and 5,000m record holder Joshua Cheptegei to win men’s 5,000m in a world lead. Katir, the world 1,500m bronze medallist, claimed the lead from Olympic 10,000m champion Selemon Barega from Ethiopia, who led at the bell. As Barega, the 2019 world 5,000m silver medallist wilted, his compatriot and 2019 world 10,000m silver medallist Yomif Kejelcha, gave Katir the chase. It proved futile as Katir hung on to the lead to win in 12:52.01 as Kejelcha settled second in season best 12:52.12. Cheptegei, the world 5,000m champion, came fourth in 12:53.81 as Kenya’s world 5,000m silver medallist Jacob Krop timed a season best's 12:55.57 for eighth. Barega finished a distant ninth in 12:56.18. But the highlight of the event perhaps came from Luis Grijalva from Guatemala, who finished third in a national record and personal best 12:52.12.
