Aw, Tanaka's the one left out:(
Aw, Tanaka's the one left out:(
No surprises in the first 5000 heat
Tanaka misses out
Cranny and especially Schweizer didn't look amazing in the final 100 but did what they needed to do
Nice of Karissa to box her teammate in on the last lap.
I feel bad for Tanaka.
is she also in the 1500?
No surprises despite a tough heat
we've been blessed to have Hassan
As long as it wasn't Gault we're golden.
I think so yeah but 5000 seems like her best event these days, tough way to exit
I'm pretty shocked at how Cranny got left in the dust in the last 200. Hopefully she was just cruising once she realized Tanaka wasn't coming back.
Who was that lapped fat cow that wouldn't get out of the way of the leaders on the last lap? What is she even doing there?
Hodgkinson is not interesting any of you guys just so you know
She had an awful strategy though, she led the entire race, breaking the wind for everybody.
Crazy how uneven the two heats are. The second heat only has two athletes (Beatrice Chebet and Medina Eisa) ranked in the top 15. Unfortunate for Nozomi Tanaka, who would’ve certainly qualified out of the second heat.
I feel like every major champs, the US middle/long distance athletes turn up and everyone on here is shocked they're off the level
I’ve never seen a fat cow run 16:19.
No. Her teammate led first 2 miles.
The way this message board is so obsessed with certain runners, you would think they are worl beaters. These 5000m runners that are hero worshipped on letsrun are non-entities on the world stage.
Why do the Japanese always do that? I've never seen it work out.
