Masai and Dibaba fighting for 3rd now. Burka now not able to get further away. Last hill will be decisive.

Dibaba wins the gold. Tufa silver, Masai bronze. Burka now struggling completely. She pushed too hard too early.
Mestawet TUFA... pretty impressive performance.
There's gonna be a huge party in Addis tonight!! Wonder if Hesch will be there; maybe they'll fly him over like last time.
Burka died completely in the last 200m and was still passed by a couple of athletes.
