A few more post reaction videos if you're into that stuff. We'll have the LRC recap coming.
I guess you shouldn't be surprised that Renato Canova coaches Men's 10,000m champ and former World half marathon champ Wilson Kiprop.
Canova had a lot of interesting things to say. He said it was a good idea the race didn't have rabbits. He then said in a slow race with a kick Kiprop doesn't have a chance at the Olympics. He needs a faster pace. He said the faster pace with a longer push for home and that favors Bekele but is also good for Kiprop.
Then Canova said he sees the medallist coming from 2 Kenyans, 1 Ethiopian (I think he meant 1 Ethiopian plus Bekele, but he could have meant just Bekele), Mo Farah and ... Galen Rupp.
He even talked about strategy for Alan Webb. Most of that starts around the 6:30 mark I believe looking at my notes:
Renato Interview (I'd skip to around 6:30-7 minutes)

Wilson Kiprop didn't have too much to say. He seemed confident, honored to represent Kenya and wanted to remind us he was World half champ:

Moses Masai is hoping to do better than the 4th place he got in 2008:

Russell Brown said things may look similar on paper as in 2011 but he is doing different training and ready mentally for what's next:

Centrowitz didn't seem too phased:

The "interview" lasted 15 seconds and then I was told to go to the mixed zone and he didn't come through there.
Previously I posted this
Alan Webb postrace:

Webb said he made a few mistakes in the race (didn't go out hard enough). He is optimistic about the future as his training is going well and his wife is 37 weeks pregnant so he is entering a new phase of his life.
Alice Schmidt:
She was really happy to win. The 800/1500 double is on the table at the Trials. Very enthusiastic winner and excited about the future as she says the 1500 helps her 800:

Alysia Montano:
The rabbit was going to go out in 58 and Schmidt told her to go 55. This was an impressive opener but Montano did not seem surprised.
