NCAA men's 10k final. To see that you had to wear glasses covered with vasoline.

Phenomenal!
I watched the entire race without thinking about the drug thing.
And with all of the lapping of slower runners, Ayana probably ran that WR over 10,100 meters!

Incredible running. Clean?
Seriously, you have to ask? That chic is a helluva cocktail.
Why anyone would dope AT the Olympics is beyond me. Flat out dumb.
AR and almost got lapped.
Huddle is going to get her medal in some years.
Some people saying in twitter "it must be a superfast track".
But wait!!! if it's fast for the distance runners, it's slow for the sprinters. And Organizers said that is a fast track for sprinters actually.
34 second PR for Huddle. I suspect a short track - how many women set PRs?

I'm sure you'll get round to it soon?
I wish she would have slowed down by 7/100
WR 10000m men: 26:17.53
WR 10000m women: 29:17.46
How much time did she lose while lapping so many runners?
The old record from Wang was very suspicious, no doubt, but the pure numbers of 29:31.78 were not on a par with the 800m, 1500m, 3000m and 5000m marks.
Now Ayana should easily be capable of setting two individual WRs in two events like Bolt did in 2008.
I'm just wondering if german TV shows more than 5 minutes of the race, so far nothing to see from it.

Then you are an idiot.

by my count, 18...so, more than half the field.
Track at the games kicks off with one of the most shameful things I have ever seen.
Ethiopia and Kenya likely sent zero clean athletes to the games.
Congrats to Huddle (clean winner), Infeld, and all other legit athletes in the race.

zero percent chance of clean.
To be able to demolish the most doped distance record on the books... very, very, very unlikely.
It's 100% suspicious. We know the dibabas are dirty based on their coach getting caught.
It's 100% likely that this is a dirty record and gold.
when your child comes home with 100% mark on an exam do you immediately accuse them of cheating?
Think about what you are saying

To short tracks really happen in major track events there days?
Getting the right length track is pretty basic science and engineering and you'd think it would be double checked a hundred times before it was laid down.
Yet, look at the diving pool fiasco. Maybe Rio could mess up the track.
I am so disgusted. So disappointing that it has got this bad. Huddle is the Olympic champion in my eyes. She is the only athlete without suspicion around her. I wish there was a way we could all show appreciation to Huddle. Let's run should put up a crowd funded bonus for her
I'm as big a fan of Molly's, but is it safe to assume that American distance runners are clean, and the rest of the world dirty?
What if the track were short?
I'm not normally one of those "fans" who think that anyone who runs a PB or breaks a record must be doping but given the circumstances surrounding both Ethiopia and Kenya recently I could not watch that race without becoming increasingly suspicious. If it is widely accepted that the Chinese WR was doped how can this mark be above suspicion? I hope I'm wrong and that I'm just becoming a miserable old cynic but ....
