Is this the day when an American born mid/distance runner takes a gold in a world championship or olympic race? By my count it would be the first since Joan Benoit Samuelson in '84. You have Symmonds in the 8 with no clear favorite, Goucher in a watered down marathon field, and Rowbury-Thomas-Williard in the 1500. (Yes, I know Lagat is a real American and Teg has a remote chance.) I think no, but it's definitely possible.
What say you letsrunners?
