Only the top 8 ran a negative split
Sinead Diver negative splitted as well.
She was 27th at half way and finished 10th.
Not bad for a 44 year old who took up fun running with a pram in her early 30's.

The girl who cooled down best won today
This is the truth - Jepchirchir ran the whole race with a bag of ice in her shirt and had much better awareness for hydration. I think Molly would have nipped Kosgei if she had executed a better cooling strategy
Would agree with that. Molly didn't hydrate well or douse herself. She held up, but it cost her something.
She ran strange lines and tangents, too...
Wouldn't take much to make a difference... she was 6 seconds back from Kosgei in the stretch... and 10 back at finish

Keen observations.
On a side note - are the men allowed to wear sports bras? It would be such a 2021 mental health/self-awareness move (re: perfect way to run with a bag of ice in your shirt). Asking for a friend...

With this weather, it seems tailor made for Desi and Kawauchi. The latter didn't make the team, did he?
Er...it's the opposite of Desi/Kawauchi Boston weather (too cold). Kawauchi isn't on the team, idk if he even qualified for the trials at the time.
Worked all day. Haven’t read the whole thread. Can someone tell me the top 10?

Yuki qualified for the Trials but skipped them to go to Doha instead for the World Champs.
Kenyan dominance continues!!!!

Some have run in crop-tops in the past. Prob looser than necessary to hold ice, though
Have you found out what the dust boxes are for yet? I'm still curious.
For all the water bottles and bags of ice that athletes whip all over their clean streets
