Official Tokyo Olympics Women's Marathon Thread

Another casualty, Johannes (sounds like a German dude). 8 left!

The female announcer just made the bold prediction that the next 10K will start to really "sort things out." They have run nearly 31K.

Ichiyama the Japanese runner. Johannes dropped at the water station. 10k left.

8 leaders.

Namibia athlete, Yohannes, dropping back. She is 2:19 material....on a good day....

I think she gets a MF regardless of how this finishes. What a ballsy race.

Japanese athlete very smart to be tucked in at the back of that eight woman pack

Molly runs mile repeats at 5:00 to 5:10. She is capable of hammering here.
