    Rojo majored in political economy. Poly Sci and econ.

    I understood his point. A non pro runner beat Schweizer and challenged Jorgensen. Impressive.

    Wejo's post is technically incorrect. I got my degree in Economics with a certificate in Political Economy or was it Politics. Basically I did 2/3rds Econ, 1/3rd politics.

    It looked like Carrie Dimoff was not wearing spikes either.


    She was wearing the Vaporfly 4% with a spike plate. Rumors are going around that Nike is making a spike based on the same carbon plate technology used for the Vaporfly. Lomong was also wearing prototypes based on the same premise.

    Carrie’s shoes weren’t Vaporflys, although they did have a Zoom X foam midsole. They were prototypes.

    Actually since she's presumably female, it'd be alumna. Unless you wanted to go with a neutral gender then it'd be alumnum.


    Hey buddy, this is America. You can call aluminum "aluminium" all you want too, as long as you don't do it here.

    Schwizer is a college athlete in her first 10k--hardly an accomplishment that she was beaten. Jorgensen was never challenged, she was motoring that entire race and had PLENTY left at the end

    Jorgensen followed much more than she led, and only took the lead at the end down the stretch.

    She was obviously struggling all the way or else she would have run faster.
