Except NO ONE did that.
He just did. He compared the American women to the AMericna men in the marathon and I said no one does that in the NBA vs. WNBA.
This is Desi's chance to start picking them off!
Flanagan will be top 5! Wow.
GO DESI!
Linden has 1:30 on Cragg.

That white woman is not flanagan
Dibaba has it. Americans won't medal, but strong showing
Was Shalane instructed to carry something every step of the race?
Where are the posters that were saying the Africans didn't know how to run?
