Hard to believe.
Yeah watching I agree. It looked like we were pretty far back after Hall. But Rojo said they weren't even sure if they saw a 4th Ugandan girl. We'll see. Ridiculous they don't have results right away.
This Haji kid really looks like a mini KB.
is that really how the ethiopian national anthem goes? i would think they would have a "realistic" version of each national song.
RESUTS YET???
My six year old niece's soccer results are posted faster than world champs XC?

Was thinking the same thing. Powerful stride over the course and "hills."
USA 5th.
Sara HALL 20
Laura THWEATT 29
Mattie SUVER 34
Brianna FELNAGLE 45
Jennifer RHINES (51 )
Elaina BALOURIS (64 )
Props to Sara Hall for coming back from a marathon two weeks ago and getting 20th.
But EVEN BIGGER props to China's Changqin Ding, who ran a 2:26:54 marathon SIX DAYS ago and was 16th!
Team Results:
Ethiopia 17
Kenya 19
Uganda 101
China 122
US 128
I guess Rojo must have missed that 4th Ugandan.
I did the zenmate thing and am using chrome, but when I get to the bbc XC site there is no media player when it says to "click play icon above to watch." Any ideas on how to get the player to load?
Same problem...
my stream stopped working a few minutes ago, had been fine til now
Wow, Derrick was way back, not the best start when they all merged. Still really far back now. Hopefully he's just being smart.

The whole US team is way back, but given the way the leaders sprinted out at the start, I'd assume they are just running smart. 12k is a long way, no sense getting caught up in being in the lead pack from the gun.
Kwamoror is a powerful looking runner. It's all Africans (or ex-Africans) in te huge lead pack now.
Bahrain's got many guys upfront!!

I was really surprised by that, and he looked slightly worried when the camera panned by him. But he does have a little while...
Where the heck is Craig Virgin when you need him, :(
