It's about to get under way ... I'm thinking redemption for Defar.

Ethiopia will sweep.
very slow so far
3:06 through 1k ... Japanese girl leads, Rhines in about 6th.
Well I guess NBC is content with letting us watch about 150 meters of the race at a time.
Defar is a woman on a mission. I predict an Ethiopian sweep. The pace is slow so its only playing into the fast-finishing Ethio hands.
Kenyans and Ethiopians are now pushing the pace upfront
5000!
Kenyans 1-2 in the kick!!!
Kenya 1 and 2 EXCELLENT FINISH
Defar two finals, one bronze, huge surprise
defar walks across the line again
Wow!!! A repeat of the 10k!
Hmm Defar struggling with injuries? Off the juice perhaps?
Well, NBC was content to make that final about as anticlimatic as possible - exciting race, but hard to get into it when they keep cutting away every 20 seconds.
"Defar is a woman on a mission. I predict an Ethiopian sweep. The pace is slow so its only playing into the fast-finishing Ethio hands."
LOL!
more likely the latter.
Looks like the Kenyans have learned to close a sub-60 lap. Winner was something like 58.5 on the last lap.
WOW! Fvkin Awesome! The Kenyans (girls atleast) have really learned how to kick. Exciting finish.
Is 15:11 good for JR?
I wonder if we'll see Defar attempt the double again... probably could have done it if she'd focused on one race.
