Official 2014 IAAF World Half Marathon Discussion Thread - G. Kipsang runs 59:07 without a rabbit!! Kenyan women 1-5.

U.S. has best team ever but will get spanked by Kenya, Eritrea, Japan and Ethiopia. A handful of other countries are also lining up for spanking privileges.

T-minus 1 hour........PUMPED!

Tadesse is gonna win this one.

2nd-tier teams from Ethio, Ken???

Thanks for the links. The radio is really nice

Radio in 2014!! Well our sport has progressed so much from the 1940'

Should be over now, what are results?

When did Universal Sports stop allowing single race purchases? I can't get the foreign streams to work. However, iaaf radio sounds good.
