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.

[canefan]

Hopefully the two chasing frogmen will put Yee off

[Damo]

Looking at it in the wide shot that is a big gap between first and second.
