World record gone by about 14 seconds, with the second 5,000 quicker than the Olympic record! Wow!

Amazing to watch. My classmate from primary and secondary school Beth Potter was also in the race. Don't think she'll forget the WR getting broken in her first Olympics!

Shall I do the cynical bit then? 36 seconds faster than the fastest time ever by someone who hasn't admitted to being part of a massive state sponsored doping program.

Well there is that. Years of watching cycling has taught me that if it looks too good to be true, it generally is.

This.

Ma´s army scoffed "turtle blood". Wonder what she is taking. Interesting to see that a Kenyan coach was caught today "taking the piss" for one of his runners.

Wow indeed, and Ayana looked pretty unfazed at the end. Just another day at work
