Yes, Molly "did" go for it and medaled.
As for today, while the final result looks impressive on paper, we had two scared athletes out there today. (D'Amato gets a pass due to her late addition to the team)
But what a load of crap so many of you are spewing about how great our ladies did. NOT one competed. Yes, you can throw waste to the East Africans that blew up, but you know what? They competed AND raced.
Sara, nothing against you personally but this was not another one of your "fake" Oregon races with 2 other runners on a bike path paced by hubby.
Emma, nice PB but I would have become a fan had you raced.
Both Sara and Emma beat Angela Tanui . . . yet of the three, Angela gets my vote because she came to race, and let the chips fall where they fall.
