OFFICIAL WOMENS 10 000M THREAD

I'm not positive, but I think there were 10Km heats in '92 Barcelona Games.

I knew Dibaba would win but the Kenyans were not ready psychologically. Dibaba destroyed them. It wasn't even a good race. It will be interesting to see tomorrow if Bekele has the same type on psychological hold on the other men in the 10K.

Any time a you can run a personal best in the biggest meet of the year you should be very proud of yourself. Today the USA three ladies all run their personal best on the world biggest stage.

So much for AH looking nervous before the race.

Great job LADIES.

I was hoping Hasting would pull of something huge for herself.

Nice race for her and she tried to go with the pack when the pace picked up at around 5000 meters but she just isn't there. No shame in that. She tried.

While I watched I heard music at the stadium- one song was a Katy Perry song. That would have pumped me up. Good job London.

Great job by Janet CB in bouncing back from being sick and disappointing at the Trials.

Tiru is THE Running Goddess, it's official.

That was good race but can you imagine the men's race tomorrow. CAN YOU IMAGINE!!

Don't think I've ever looked forward to a race so much.

SHITS.GOING.DOWN

Exactly how I'm feeling.

What time does the mens 10K air tomorrow for CENTRAL time zone? Is 3:15 correct?

Case for t dib as greatest of all time

3 oly golds one bronze .. More to come if she gets 2 more 6 will be unheard for a distance runner

4 world champ golds

5 world xc gold

World record 5k 15k road

She still can run better. If they gave her a chance to break the 10k record she may get close.

She may end up with more records

was listening to an ethiopian sports talk radio and this race went as planned. Kidane was the sacrificial lamb, her job was to regulate the pace of the race. Ethiopians did what the Kenyans were planning to do for the last for years.It is so natural to see Tiru win, the expected result by God. As of the men,s race, look for the same tactic by Tariku and the other guy to set up Kenenisa for he Gold which is an expected result by God. Ethiopians are also expecting gold in 800, 1500 and Marathon(all M&W).

It would be awesome if American woman sprinters, instead of PTL and "Giving The Glory To God!" would just deadpan "This is the expected result by God" when they did well.

THANKS FOR RUINING IT, BROJOS.

You had me going until you said the 800 and 1500. You clearly didn't see the 1500 heats yesterday. And seriously, nobody is going to beat Kiprop. He is the most solid lock in the games.

I think you will find he was talking about the women's 1500, not the men's.

"expected result from God". *Sigh*.

God, in his infinite sadism, is too busy lustily maintaining famine in Somalia (and recently Ethiopia) to care about who wins the 10000m in the Olympic Games.

Expected result by God Wishetam

I look forward to the impending crash and burn of these Japanese runners.

How did that work out for you?

Why do women from the same country run together? - British girls together, Japanese girls together, American girls together. C'mon girls, quit running with your teamates and race.
