Overall that was such a piss poor race. 4:10 for Olympic gold, that's pathetic. Gold and silver to runners I have never heard before. That's like Makhloufi on the men's side, very disappointing 1500m races.
Since 2004 never the favourite could win: 2005: Lagat should have won, Ramzi did; 2007: Webb or Komen should have won, Lagat did; 2008: Kiprop should have won, Ramzi did (although deprived); 2009: Kiprop should have won, Kamel did; 2011: Kiplagat should have won, Kiprop did; 2012: anybody else but not somebody who never was a factor before....
Back on topic: when you see them go out in 2:15, in a women's race, it's quite clear that at least one of them will go down.
