I can't decide if Rupp has enough experience at this distance to trust that he's making a good move here.

If he is still in the top group At the 22nd mile, it's over! He is the fastest in the pack.

Deer commentator:

You are supposed to throw the bottle down when you grab the wrong one so that the official at the table can return it to its proper location.

Kiplagat is a beatst, but did she push too hard? That was suicidal for 5k...she still has 25 minutes to go in the heat.

Rupp looks awesome.

I wish Edna had just tossed over all of the tables.

What would have happened? Can they DQ you? Under what grounds?

WTF is Kiplagat doing????

kiplagat coming to a complete halt at the aid station! wtf

Kiplagat just stopped at the water table because her water wasn't there.

Unbelievable. Never seen that before. Masback is praising it as good sportsmanship.

She should have just kept going in my opinion.

Kipligat stopped for a few seconds after grabbing the wrong my bottle.

That cafeteria move by Edna may yet cost her the race.

Per the tracker, Desi is in 4th, less than 1 minute behind Jordan.

Well that was one of the strangest athlete/bottle/table moments I've ever seen

Kiplagat just lost a load of time at the drinks station. Back a couple of times.

Damn Edna botched that botttle pick up - but still has a 28 sec lead.Keep these coming!

Kip still looks really strong. She missed her bottle though, went back, search again, then realized it was at the next table. Didn't seem to phase her, and that usually gives a shot of adrenaline which will help.
