Who is 34? Just laid down a surge. |

|
Shimizu is fighting for the lead |
| GTF |
| ||
|
Guta, Tergat, Rios just following on their heels. |
| GTF |
| ||
|
Shimizu is very brave. |
| zatopek |
| ||
|
I am surprised that Tergat is till there. Maybe he is racing off of pride |

|
I think Shimizu is testing them, specifically Rios. |
| zatopek |
| ||
|
Now it is a race.. Rios is leading |
| GTF |
| ||
|
Drink station, could have been a tactical point. Rios takes the pace. Tergat hanging on, Guta behind him. |
| GTF |
| ||
|
Regrouping for another try by someone. |
| zatopek |
| ||
|
Shimizu in the lead. |

|
They have just over 10K to go, and are surging in waves. |
| zatopek |
| ||
|
Guta, Asmerom, Shimizu, Tergat and Rios |
| GTF |
| ||
|
Asmerom looks comfortable. |
| GTF |
| ||
|
Looks like a crosswind. |
| reader rabbit |
| ||
|
Weather just flashed up; 12.7 C (55 F). |
| zatopek |
| ||
|
Yes Asmerom looks very relaxed in his face. |
| GTF |
| ||
|
With a fairly strong wind, it appears. |
| zatopek |
| ||
|
The last 2k they slowed down quite a bit 3:14,15 |
| zatopek |
| ||
|
I think Asmeron will just sit on Shimizu and out kick him in the end |

Leaders splits starting at 30K: 3:04,:12,:11,:15,:14 So there must be a huge wind, 35K split 16:09 |
