And What Medal was place around Huddles neck?

Loved your post, but you really think Flanagan has aged out of the marathon?
And Jamaica has only 0.038% of the world's population, but they did OK.

This is exactly what I thought.
Huling, Jager, Coburn, Infeld, Huddle, Flanagan, Rupp, Rupp again, True, Hill... 10 top-7 finishes at worlds, all of them in contact with the front of the race. I understand the focus on medaling, but they did well in terms of mixing it up with the world. Just need to find a way around a couple of people and it looks good.
3-4-5 in the women's 10 and 5-6-7 in the men's 5 would have had the champagne corks popping until very recently. These individuals have raised the bar very high indeed, and I for one am impressed.
Kenya was off-the-charts excellent this time, putting forth the best team effort ever seen in the distances. Ethiopia has not yet run out of the apparently endless supply of Dibaba sisters. Other than that, the US distance runners did very, very well, just not quite as well as they can now hope to do.

Because you are vindictive and small minded. If you ever accomplish 1/100th of what Molly Huddle has done, you just let us know.
Also, agree on Infeld. Beast with a big future.
Great run. Great heart. She'll never beat Huddle again.

She beat her in the big one, though.

The US has less than 5% of the World's population. So, anything better than that is a triumph. Sure, the US dope-positive-test-avoidance-techniques are good, because US investments in such are much better funded, but there is only so far those take the US on to glory!
Kenya has less than 1% so did they triumph?
