slow 1st 5K 15:40
I forgot to mention one other Japanese--Matsumiya brothers. Of course, only one of them is running (Yuko, which happens to be the same first name as Yuko Arimori but, oh, well...). He really hasn't fulfilled his promise as a marathon runner though he holds WR for 30k (or was it his brother???). Reportedly his training this time has gone really well too. He has done really well on track this spring, becoming the first man to win both 5 and 10k at the nationals since something like 1990. So it'll be quite interesting just to see who goes after the World Champ's sellection for Japan.
15:40? What happened? Geb's rabit choked himself with rice cake? I thought he brought his own rabit and there was a talk that might screw up the competition among Japanese for sellection...
I don't know why they are running so slow. The rabbit is right with them
Ah! Finally found the update site! Unofficial time 15:44 (so 15:40 is the official time? I know zatopek would get the most updated info!). There are 3 rabits, about 26 runners in the lead group.
Can someone post the URL where the updates are posted?
I'm glad you are with me
Zatopek and Nobby,
Just a thanks ahead of time, I'll be checking in and appreciate your updates.
There is a giant lead pack. Geb is one row back
Are you seeing this on TV?
yes Japanese TV
Hey Nobby what site are finding the updates on?
Sorry, it's in Japanese... Click the third one from the top on the left (right on the left of "o" on "Contents"). No images... Gotta rely on zatopek's description!
Very cool. Do you want Nebraska Vs. Oklahoma football updates?
10K 30:54
Football? Do they actually use their feet?
Probably 25 in the lead pack
I don't want this thread to become american vs. european football. Both are great games. I'm just thankful for updates. It's like listening to a game on the radio...which has some qualities live TV does not.
This is interesting.. i wanted to see get go through half in 64 and see how he finishes...
he may run a PB...
Go Geb Go
