Commentator trying to be slick and now changing his crap to first American-born man to medal in an Olympics since Shorter. I'm sure he totally forgot about Meb and probably had some one call in to the studio to correct him. Maybe he can tell us when is the last time a British-born runner won the 5K or 10K at the Olympics?
HOLD ON GALEN!
I mean 24th mile
Said 4:40 for 24th mile for Kipchoge. 23 seconds ahead of 2nd and 35 ahead of Rupp. Rupp in contention for silver. Have no idea how back 4th is.
Press truck has arrived at finish.

Kipchoge on EPO since '05. That EPO is a helluva drug.
Wow. 31 pages before we got to the PED discussion.
Ward in 9th.
Just showed Gheb alone in 4th
Rump with balls enough to let the move go, gather himself, then gun after the medal.
Rupp is reingaged, holding or slightly gaining on Lelisa.
NBC Stream commentators did acknowledge Meb and Meb's Silver just now.
Ward is in 9th. Running well too.
Yep. Rupp has that gap. Tough race.
THE FINAL HAT IS OFF! SHOW TIME!

Rupp took water after mile 24. That's a mistake. No way will it help you. Just focus.

The course is not very good with so many turns.
RUPP...CLOSING...THE...DISTANCE
This course is crap. Too many turns.
At turn around Rupp about 12-14 seconds out of silver. 57 seconds up on 4th per NBC. Rupp would have to really hit the wall not to medal as less than 2 miles left.
