Think Merga needs about a 13:30 last 5km for the WR
Uh-oh, looks like the wheels have come off for Keitany. 15:55 for that last 5 km.
Did anyone here the english speaking announcer say that Merga had slowed a great deal?
I don't get why they don't just stream the video of the race in the background instead of the finish cam which shows the race in the background.
hmm, somebody must've put some hills out there between the 10k and 15k split, wtf

World record for her...

Bit of a rally for Keitany there, 50:05 10 mile WR. 1:05:37 pace. Needs 16:20 last 5 km for half WR.

Well Keitany just hit 10 miles in 50:05. Pretty sick.
she is going to crush the world record by almost a minute
she is on 65:37 pace at ten miles and 66:25 is the current world record
holy crap. this is a major breakthrough for the women.
we'll see just how much merga is hurting in a second

41:44 to 56:15 that is 14:31
Merga's lost half his lead but unless he decides to drop out in the last few hundred m he should have this.
