    sorry but it was one of the great moments in recent history of the sport if you are AMERICAN. otherwise, there were two greater moments right ahead of her.

    I disagree with that. Kastor played her cards right and ran a great race, picked people off, and won bronze. Sure people want to say she could have done better. Maybe she could have? But there are only 2 women that wouldn't want to have finished where she did, and those two went 1-2.

    Besides America includes Canada, Mexico, and other countries. Get your facts straight, Kastor runs for the United States.

    "That said, poor radcliffe did drop and deena profited by it, the course was ridiculously tough and hot, so in this circumstance too slow is probably better than too fast, so obviously, what she did worked." - cdtrackman

    I think Deena would have passed Paula even if Paula didn't drop out. So this is irrelevant.

    Deena had us all on the edge of our chairs. My own feelings are that she has shown the world that American marathoning is as good as anybody else's and there's more where that came from!

    Every step she took toward that finish line was being run by everybody in the US who support our American runners and cheer them on.

    Congratulations again!!

    As a member of Future Track with our coach Bill Duely working with about 40 adult runners who have been together 15 + years and do speed work at Agoura High each Tues.Many yrs. ago the team raised money for lots of good causes & still do, one was to help a young lady with travel in her early days of travel to meets & races.

    Yesterday she paid us back with the greatest marathon finish by an American since 1984.

    Thanks Deena, you made me cry.
