You expect for the Americans to be beat by the Africans, but these no-names from Western countries are crushing them.

No names on the track and instagram scene maybe, but they clearly know how to runxc

Anyone think Obiri will be moving up to marathon soon?

Seems like she just wants to win every major she can before retiring. She's crossed XC off the list and is now done with it for good!

IAAF should be embarrassed for continuing this "U20" farce. Just as the Lord has axed the 5/10k nonsense, this should be next.

Scrap any "junior" champs, ban the Italian coaches, come down HARD on the drug users and pushers.

Until then, the embarrassing results of today will simply repeat.

Salt.....bruh ?

Don't worry, Western civilisation is slowly being shown for the farce it is. It will disappear.

? LOL

Announcer certainly wrong that steeplechasers would be the best.

Interesting how bad (relative to track speed) the Americans are on this hilly course. Good thing Houlihan skipped it.

I would imagine it is not simply innate hill ability. The east African runners must train in a way that makes them better on hills.

Good result for gb, considering lots of top gb runners haven't bothered to turn up

Can someone list individual results? way behind on official results page.

thanks

ZERO doubt in my mind.

Houlihan would have crushed this. Obiri 10+ seconds back. Shame she stayed home.

??????????????

A few thoughts bout the race.

Anna Emilie MØLLER of Denmark was 15th. SHe's just 21.

She was the Euro U23 steeple champ in 2017 so as a steepelchaser she is used to having her rhythm broken (but that didnt' help Frerichs today). She ran 931 for the steeple last year and recently ran 15#6 for the 5000 in Monaco on the roads in February.

Wow the two woman on the US team who many US distance fans may not have known - the last two on the squad - ended up as our #2 and #3.

I see the well known 'Turk' Kaya is on the start line plus some friends in Bahrain vests...

Super interesting that the Bowerman crew went 4-5-6 on the US side. Would have thought before the race that they would have led the charge but well done to Steph to be the first US woman.

33. Steph Bruce

50. Sarah Pagano

51. Anne-Marie Blaney

56. Karissa Schweizer

58. Marielle Hall

75. Courtney Frerichs

What a lineup. Kam ?? , Rhonex ?? , Barega ?? , Cheptegei ?? , Kiplimo ??

Any Kelsey Bruce updates?

No, the east africans are just, on average, better in general

Boohoo! Regardless of age grouping, this is his worst result in a long time.

They just said that Australia's #1 Stuart McSweyn is a DNS. Pulled out yesterday.
