World's Best 10k 2012

what's up with someone falling apart before the finish???

The announcer said 14:02 for 5K

one runner collapse at the end. don't know which one but it looks like a kenyan

Legs where everywhere. With the poor feed it was hard to see what was going on. At first I thought it was someone being a clown near the finish, then I realized it was a collapsing runner as people went to help.

Not sure but Moses Masai isn't listed at the finish.

Hope he's o.k.

10000 meters really help Vivian run faster on the roads. Vivian should line up for a 2nd 10k before london 10000 meters. Vivian will win London 10000 meters gold medal.

yikes, 32:20 for shalane flanagan back in 26th place. well-beaten by vivian cheruiyot's 30:47 for 14th. probably not what she's looking for this time of year.

Had to be Masai who collapsed and his chip registered when they carried him past the line on the stretcher.

It did look like Masai. I was there and saw him. First, as someone else said, it looked like he was just clowning around walking raising his feet and hands really high crunched over. It looked very awkward. Someone was trying to tell him something like "WTF dude?" and he was just out of it. I really doubt he will even remember what happened, he was moving my reflex and muscle memory but he was not really conscious.

Vivian Cheruiyot will do a race in Puerto Rico. Who is joining her in Puerto Rico? Could Vivian smash 30:48 pb? Vivian runs 30:48 1 minute 2 secs faster than Sentayehu Ejigu winner of 2011 world best 10k.

Think you pretty much called it...

Not much separating her from Ed Moran. Yikes. Guys have to be careful how off of a day they have with her in the race.

She won the Olympic trials marathon like a month ago! She'll be ok.

Chepkok might have a good 10,000m in him... Was third in 2011 World Cross Country. And the Doha race 2010 with Kipchoge just in front of him was really impressive. Beat a lot of good 10k guys here.
