Hassan fell.. as I was watching, I was worried that these dudes behind her were too close.. then eventually, she clips one of them and goes down.

that dude almost clipped the winner in the last few KM as well.

awful :<

WR attempt ruined.

same. fuqn salazar. bleh.

Mo be in incredible shape after all of the marathon training he's been doing. his speed will come back. so i think he'd be a legit threat.

right now, cheptegei is looking like the man to beat at 10k. but he may try to double in 2020 (5k/10k). if he does that, then dno.

he got injured last year tho so dno. hope he keeps it going. love how he races - usually trying to lead the entire way.
