He said in an interview after the heat that he's going for a medal.

All three Ethiopians looked very good, too.

Fadjek is in trouble, he may not make it into the final.

Wow, no Kenyans in the 5K final. They should be embarrassed.

women 800.... First 2 in each heat (Q) and the next 8 fastest (q)

Just saw a report from Peru that as a result of Torrence making the final 100's of young men have come to the Peru Athletics HQ looking to start running. The staff is overwhelmed and riots have broken out in the streets resulting in the military being called in. More to come soon on this breaking story.

You may be confusing your Torrences. Gwen Torrence? Pauly Torrence? Knuckles J Torrence III?

David Torrence runs for Peru. He just obliterated their national record over 5000m. Easily Peru's GOAT.
