Now you watched Dibaba at her best,simply too good ,like a fit Bekele there is nothing the current opposition can do.And the Ethiopians have Vivian figured out,once they knew she was going for the double they let Dibaba deal with her in the 10 000m,Defar not participating ,a relatively 'fresh' Defar now lies in wait for Vivian in the 5OOOm.Kipyego can develop into a great 10000m runner for Kenya if the Americans do not tempt her with their passport.

Somebody tell Kiplangat and Kiprop to stay infront and out of trouble,the danger of being boxed in and finding no space to move out in the last lap is very real or you end up getting tripped,Chepseba should be a good lesson.These Kenyans had the three fastest times coming to the olympics,all below 3:30,if they run to their full potential, the two remaining ones will be a tough act for the rest of the field,but first they must not be caught out like Chepseba did come the semis.

@magigi...Dibabas speed still has me dazed,i thought @dash meant Chepkurui by Chep...good to know Chepseba will be in the semis.

Chemos now qualifies for the final 0f the 3000m Steeplechase in a comfortable fourth position.

if we can get medals in 5k and 10k - so far so good, We have a good chance of breaking into top 10 in the final medal tally.
