Fisher, 27, nearly saw his race come to a crashing end when he slipped on the inside rail with nine laps to go. In fifth place for the next eight laps, Fisher waited patiently to make his move. In the last 56 years, only Galen Rupp, who won a bronze in London in 2012, has won a medal in the men’s 10,000. While at Stanford from 2015 to 2019, Fisher majored in electrical engineering while becoming a 12-time All-American on the track.
