I'd say Jager has zero chance of winning this race.

My phone has just updated itself. I think previously the information was outdated.
Right now it's 77 degrees with 60% humidity. The humidity feels like more than that. It's not fun for distance running. And no even a breeze at track level. Does this help Huddle or hurt her?
How does humidity of 60% "feel"? Does it "feel" different than 80% humidity? Or 40% humidity?
Or are there other atmospheric variables at work that determine what it feels like?

Kipyego pushing the pace!
She's quite lean and can run great in the heat.
Anyone else notice that Dulce Felix always wears knickers a size to small? Her ass is falling out!
huddle and shalane are doiing too much thinking - too much moving up and back, maneuvering. they;re going to be mentally exhausted.

It appears as if the East Africans have had enough fooling around and are going to start winding it up.
I will take a guess and say we will see a lead group and chase pack in maybe 2-3 laps. Its odd to not see a lead pack earlier, seems like everyone if definitely respecting the conditions.
who is that shaunacy barber guy who's threatening to beat villainy?
Again with lapped runners not moving over. Was there a meeting or something?
