2016 Rio Olympics:Official Day 3 Live Discussion Thread

Tufa is dropping out. One less African for the Americans to beat

Tufa may be done!! 3 Americans finish in the Top 10?

The africans dont appear to know how to run, this is just insane.

Really now.

Agree. Temp and dew point more informative.

Shalane doesn't look too strong. Desi Linden for the surprise Bronze

Tufa out!!!!

The Americans are battling, but you just get the feeling one of the Kenyans or Ethiopians is going to drop the hammer and keep going.

Is Desi checking her watch at every K? Seems like she's simply running her own race, as in the trials. No yo-yoing.

Tigist Tufa is out! with calf issue 1:02 in

I don't know which American to Cheer for

ALl of them. Whichever one stays with it. Unfortunately, I don't think youll have much of a choice eventually.

I'm personally rooting for North Korea. I imagine there isn't good anti-doping there. I want to make a mockery of the whole thing.

How ironic would it be if Jepkesho wins or medals? SInce we thought Keitany should be on the Kenyan team?

I'm rooting for North Korea too.

They're literally running for their lives

Volha Mazuronak --- looks committed and patient

Yes, Africans have shown that they do not know how to run. That is why they never get any medals in the distance races.

At least one american will medal! This is very good.

Desi was just quoted as saying the olympic field is easier than the major marathons because there are only 3 kenyans and 3 ethiopians.

Does anyone have a live stream? BBC one isnt working

Awesome race up till now. Nice to have all 3 USA in the camera. Still got some Asian women to worry about too besides the East Africans

All three Americans are back in the pack. Looks like the pack slowed down. The Japanese girls are coming back.
