VIPAM are you watching in Canada? If not how did you get a link to Webcast?
I surfed the web and found the winner and her spilts. IAAF and Canada offical website still don't have the live results 20 minutes after the race- what is the problem?
Check tracktalk for live updates of the race in the high school forum.
2nd & 3rd also in 8:55... 6 girls together in Final lap. Hasay and Sisson not in top 8, but ran 9:16 or something (don't quote me on that one)
Hasay 9:15.76 and Sisson 9:16.80, Outdoor pr for Hasay and pr for Sisson.
Don't know how you found out the winner VIPAM before the results where posted anywhere online but here are the offical results.

Women's 3000m Final
Mercy Cherono won her second consecutive World Junior title at 3000m tonight in Moncton, running a World leading junior time of 8:55.07 to take a sprint finish over Emebet Anteneh of Ethiopia (8:55.24) and Layes Abdullayeva of Azerbaijan (8:55.33).
Cherono and her team-mate Purity Rionoripo controlled the race throughout, moving to the front early and allowing the pace to languish in the first kilometre. That split was reached in 3:08.81, pace for a 9:26 finish, but then the pace began to pick up.
Challengers, including Tejitu Daba of Bahrain and Abdullayeva, moved to the front to force the pace, and with three and a half laps remaining Cherono stepped on the gas and began to pull away.
The pack split in two at that point, the lead group of six including the two Kenyans, two Ethiopians, Abdullayeva and Daba. Jennifer Wenth of Austria and Jordan Hasay of the USA attempted to cover the move, but the 67-second lap was more than either was ready for and the pair was left adrift.
Cherono didn't maintain her brisk surge, and the group of six remained together through the bell. Anteneh moved to take the lead on the backstretch, but Cherono covered that move and though the pack was now in full flight there was no separation.
Finally, on the homestretch, Cherono began to get daylight between herself and the pursuit, which she managed to maintain even though Anteneh and Abdullayeva appeared to be closing at the end.
The race was run as a part of the opening ceremonies on Monday evening, and was enjoyed by a sell-out crowd in the 10,000-seat stadium. A cloudy evening did not give way to light rain until the race was completed.
Cherono is the first woman to repeat as World Junior champion in the 3000m.
Hasay, Sisson run lifetime bests on opening night of IAAF World Junior Championships

MONCTON, CANADA -- Making the most of a packed house at the festive Stade Moncton 2010, Jordan Hasay and Emily Sisson ran to lifetime outdoor bests Monday in the opening event of the 13th IAAF World Junior Championships. Hasay, who was third in the NCAA 1500 in June for Oregon, clocked 9:15.78 to take ninth in the first international 3000 of her life, while Missouri high schooler Sisson lowered her PR to 9:16.80 to finish right behind Hasay.
The pair of Americans ran in the middle of the pack over a slowish first 1600, hit in 4:56.40 by the leaders, and as the front runners quickened the tempo a pack of six runners moved away from Hasay despite her 69.2 lap from 1400-1800. While Sisson worked her way forward, Hasay dropped to eighth after a 73.8 circuit, and a 78.2 on the following 400 put her in ninth. Sisson closed quickly, but Hasay's final lap of 73.2 reversed the order from the Junior nationals in Des Moines, where Sisson won by .2 seconds.
Mercy Cherono of Kenya, this year's world junior cross country champion, narrowly defended the WJC 3000 title she won in 2008 with a season-best 8:55.07, the fastest time in the world by a junior in 2010. Emebet Anteneh of Ethiopia and Layes Abdullayeva of Azerbaijan were secondand third, less than three-tenths behind Cherono.
Hasay, who ran 9:12.25 indoors on an oversize track at Seattle in February, said, "I felt good and just tried to stay with the leaders. These are some great athletes, and this was good preparation for running the 1500 later this week. I didn't think it would go out that fast, and when I was running by myself for a while it was kind of tough. This is my first 3000 at this level, so it is good to see what I need to improve on. I have been focusing on the 1500, and this will help shake the jet lag out of my legs. This stadium and crowd was excellent. They have done a great job."
Sisson, who placed 18th at the world junior cross country meet, said, "There was a lot of tripping and bumping and other contact, and I am not really used to it. There were a lot of aggressive runners, and my plan was to hang on to the pack for as long as I could. After running the world cross meet, I was able to regroup and focus on this meet. It was my main goal, to make this team and compete here. I missed the team aspect of high school track this season since I didn't compete for my school, but this worked out really well. I will wait and see how my legs feel before I decide whether or not to run the 5000 later this week."
A full slate of events starts Tuesday at 9 am with the first round of the women's 3000 steeplechase, and finals in the women's shot put and men's 10,000 are scheduled for the evening session.

This was an amazing race. Those girls can move. I was there to see it in person. With 600m to go, they just turned on the engines.
I was sitting next to Jordan Hasay`s mom. She ran a tough race. Never gave up. Kudos to her. I`m lloking forward to seeing her in the 1500.
Purity Rionoripo, who finished 4th, collapsed at the finish and had to be carried out on a stretcher. I hope she is ok.

What's really amazing is the World Jr. Record - 8:28 by Zola Budd as a 19 year old in 1985. 45+ seconds faster than Hasay.
Hassay and Sisson beaten by a kiwi! wow.
I keep hearing how important this event is for Canada, so why can't they get the webcast working to the rest of the world. If you are interested, you can go to the following page and send CBC an email that you would like to see the webcast.
