Rupp sheds hat at 3mls
Looked like he dumped his hat going into the commercial break, but then had one on when they came back. Maybe special cooling hats are placed along the course?
Meb moving up on the left of the screen. All three Americans now up front-ish.

The whole thing is fake like the moon landing.
Meb will run a smart race
Ward only 4 steps behind Rupp, keeping him in his sights for now ?
BBC seems to have something against actually showing the runners. NBC on commercial.

Most likely this.....
Mebs hat? Doesn't look "Nike" - sure it probably is, but funny it's different from the Rupp/Cragg/Flanagan white hate of Nike theme.
Dong Doo is right up in front.

It's a Nike hat. He posted a pic of his outfit on ig last night.
Dew point high 60's, not conducive to a 2:08
10k @ 31:08, Gheb, Bekele #1 and #2, but still pack of 30-40 within 5 seconds.
Word is Rupp has a tiny radio in his ear, and AS is giving him instrunctions by radio. Is that legal, like in the NFL?
