Gharib could be one to watch... he seemed to be the least affected by the pace set by Wanjiru at Beijing so not surprised to see him hanging on.

Did he just say 4:25 last mile for the men??
wow that pack really split up......there are a lot of guys being punished for that insane fast start at this point
interesting to see whether the top 3 make it a tactical race or keep pushing the pace. remember geb had a quick last 10k in his wr.
Wanjiru will win in 2:05:24
no record today for Wanjiru. What is amazing is that Ramala had to make the call on the pace and not Wanjiru who was talking about world record.
And I wish this commentator dude would learn how to pronounce the athlete's names, starting with Sammy and Mara.
Looks like Wanjiru has picked it up. Will be interesting to see the 35k time check.
This announcer is killing me...
justin.tv link just died. Unfortunate; they had better announcers.
here's a further list if it dropped for you
4:25 mile at 19!! Cranking now Tadese completely off back. Meb and Ritz :30:51 and 52 at 30K
thanks for not showing men
He's far better than Al Trautwig from Boston's coverage!
Men at about 1:31:00...somewhere between 17 and 22 miles now...simply amazing running.
Here are the splits;

Men's last mile was 4:56, not that fast but enough to break the group up after that suicidal early pace.
Kebede looks awesome to me.
Can't believe this CRAP footage - women's race is all we're seeing, while the men's race is being shaken up!!! F%&K
These Commentators Suck Big Time....There'll put me to Sleep if the Men's Race wasn't so Exciting.
Where is Tedese?????????????????
Wanjiru will Win 2:05:24
Will Mara run a PB? Much more interesting than the men's race, really.
Agreed...maybe someday we'll be able to get men's coverage within 15 minutes on either side of the women's finish...today is not that day
Ritz still on mid 2:07
