As a non-american I though webb looked flatter than I have seen him this year and not as confident as he should be given his record this year. He is strong and fast and needed to be in the top 7 in under 343 after the first semi so why put it in doubt like Baala or Willis did (willis didnt make it despite magic early season form).
On that form he wont medal. I hope I'm wrong.
Lagat on the other hand looked extremely calm - watch his face when in the pack even 120 out, he looks supremely calm and confident and there was so much more in the tank, hwe was only running hard for 60 meters or so.
Congrats to Kara Goucher by the way. Great race, as a huge fan of Jo Pavey I was sorry to see her beaten and in Paula's place but she ran a warriors race.
