World-record holder Cheptegei gets silver; American Grant Fisher 5th.
Stephen Kissa of Uganda ignored the field and the weather and shot to the early lead. He was ahead by half a straightaway within the first mile. Kissa’s tactics were questionable—if his aim was to set up the race for his more accomplished countrymen, he was too far ahead to matter. And in unfavorable racing weather—81 degrees with 89% humidity at the start—a solo breakaway was unlikely to hold for 25 laps.worked to pull the pack back up to Kissa.
“I have two feelings,” Cheptegei said. “I’m very happy to have won an Olympic silver medal, it’s really special for me as a world record-holder and world champion. But the other side of me is not happy with the result because I came here expecting to win gold.”
