That 10K was epic! Waithaka Mburu is the next best thing. The man was tripped twice but managed to get silver for Kenya. With good training and team Kenya stepping up management, Cheptegei's dominance can be mitigated. That was an epic race!
The future belongs to those who have a quarter of the character and integrity of RV Heavy Hitter!

The stories of like SalPeters support system is quite critical.

What a run by Twanisha "TeeTee" Terry.  Anchoring a. US team of rookies to hold off, arguably, the best individual talents ever assembled in a team, by the Jamaicans.

    The only thing that denied Jamaicans a win is that nasty third batton exchange and Sherika cut into the deficit like Ferrari on roids.. I tell you, that American lass is still breathing a sigh of relief 'as we speak', sweating bullets.. I would too... Tonights 5,000 Men will be a thriller with all the big players reeving to go, Ugandans, Ethiopia, Kenyans..hopefully a fast pace from lap one or 2, Kenya gets a third suprise Gold... Moraa in the Women's 800 final is also a real medal threat, her front running style however needs scaling, just tail Athing Mu until bell lap and unleash Kick

Relays are about team work.  Individual talent is good.  But it cannot overcome good teamwork by a peer competitor.

Tobi Amusan wins Naija's first world championship gold.  To say I had never heard of her prior to this event is embarrassing but true.  It happens when watching the event through the lens of American media.
