After bad 1,500, Lagat makes 5,000 final (AP)

August 20, 2008 | By In Top Stories |

Bernard Lagat advanced to the 5,000-meter final, hoping to salvage his Olympics and maybe start a rally Wednesday for the struggling U.S. track team. Lagat won his heat in 13 minutes, 39.70 seconds to move on to Saturday night’s medal race. He didn’t qualify for the 1,500-meter final, adding his name to a list of high-profile American flame-outs at the Bird’s Nest.
