Women's 10,000m: 9,950 meters according to form and a very bizarre finish
August 16, 2009
The women's 10,000m final went largely as expected for 9,950m. Then it became a very bizarre race. By the end, we would have our first Kenyan champion in a decade (Linet Masai), but not before we had the favorite (Meseret Defar) rig up big time and then quit, the next person in line to win (Meselech Melkamu) celebrate about 6 inches too soon. Exciting, crazy, and stupid, all in the space of 50 meters.
A comprehensive report, comments and reactions about the Women's 10000m at the World Championships in Berlin.
