Yokohama Women's Ekiden webcast

They're saying that Japan had won 9 times total. They look strong for number 10... Is that why they didn't invite Ethiopian team? Or they just didn't come...??? Is it a conspiracy? Call Oliver Stone!!!

Samia was 10th place (passed in 7th place) in 20:39 for a 6k leg.

Kenya might have started out too fast??? She just did the slowest 1km split.

Now they showed Stephanie. She's up on her toes and looking pretty strong. Of course, they had to emphasize how old she is...

Russia just passed Kenya for second place.

Kojima is struggling a bit but she only has 200m to go.

Exchange is done in 1:25:20+. Russia is leaving kenya for second place. almost 100m to the exchange station.

Nobby I mean she is 43...that i pretty old.

Interesting... The Kenyan girl is only 21 years old but a mother of 6 children!!!

The Kenyan team came back up to the secnd place. Something Wanjiru...??? Ruth Wanjiru??? Is it THAT Ruth Wanjiru who used to run for Hitachi team??? She doesn't look like it...

US team is exchanging right now in 8th place in...1:29:57 total time.

Hey! She's just coming right! ;o) I mean... I'm.......a few years old...er...???

I never though I would put this into a sentence....but Tohoku/Hokkaido has taken China.

Official time for Herbst is not listed yet.

Commercial. Have you noticed their commercial is like 3 or 4 of them???

They just showed Mary Decker! Wow!

Official time: Herbst 10th place (for her leg) in 20:18.

Kobayashi did a great job leading in the first leg. This is a typical example of getting the positive energy. I was just talkng to Dave Martin a couple of days ago. It was like Deena and Meb. Or Toyo University at Hakon Ekiden.

Okay so Ruth Wanjiru not the one I was thinking about but apparently she had been in Japan (from high school on?) just like the other Ruth Wanjiru. Kenya second place; Russia third.

Japan is going into 4.3km point.

Yuza: Do you know who coaches Ruth Wanjiru? She ran 2:27 at Osaka marathon earlier this year.

Official result: After 4th leg, US is 8th place in total time of 1:29:58.

Kanto team (another Japanese regional team) is almost catching the Russia team for third.

The Japanese team is passing 6km mark.

Shibu-chan is getting ready...!

Why is the Yamagata runner...running for the Tokyo team and not running for Tohoku? Rigged.

She is from Tsuruoka....I am going there later on today. Sorry I get excited when I see runners from Yamagata on the television.

Tokyo team passed Russian team.

Kizaki is passing 7.25km.

Half way into the 5th leg; Ruth Wanjiru took the fastest split in 15:52 with Kizaki in 16:10. American, White, is third fastest in 16:15.
