No Regassa?
Regassa dropped at last minute, replaced by Tola. Teyba Erkesso on the women's side is the last minute surprise to me. Neither men nor women on WR pace

Now thru 15 km in 42:33. 6 in lead group. Next is 17 sec back
Tola in lead 45:45 at 10-mile (6 in pack)
6 in women lead pack 15km in 48:03 (Abeylegesse, Erkesso, Tune).
Potential 66 high, 67 low? I want to see if Abeylegesse will have some crazy finishing kick
Men's race should be interesting finish
Hey Emery,
go delete the thread bagging on Ed Whitlock. That thing is an embarrassment.

When your second name is "Dibaba", all it means is that your father's first name is "Dibaba."
I think Mare Dibaba has adopted Azerbaijanian nationality and goes by the name Ibrahimova now.
