Less than 7 hours from the start the forecast is ~45 at the start rising to ~52 at the finish (perfect), with SW 8-10mph winds (not too shabby). Good day to run fast.
4 American Men in the top 10. If Mantz runs slower than 209:30 he will not be the 1st American.
I can't see the 4 US men result happening. I think 3 men sub 2.05 and another 3 sub 2.06, all from East Africa, are the top 6. Positions 7-10 could include the Aussie Pat and maybe 2 Japanese.
That is quick for Ruth. I remember at year-end last year, this site placed Molly at 10 in their rankings and flicked Ruth because she had 'only' won Chicago. I included her near the top of my ten among the four Kenyans born within 12 months of each other. Is she a certainty here because of a weak field?
