Interesting piece on Rizzo, who talks about how he became deaf as a teenager after getting braces and didn't regain any hearing until they came off 2 years later. The 2:13 marathoner is hoping to compete well after a disappointing race at the US Marathon Champs, where he "dropped out" and jogged home for 2:20 (18th).

Abraham Rutto won the half marathon in 1:07:16 over Patrick Rizzo (1:08:10).
