    @stargazer Buscomb was a 1500 m runner who has moved to the longer distances.

    I think she’s been running the 5000m for quite a few years before concentrating on the 10K.

    The women are dropping like flies in these conditions.

    Yes, since the mid 2010s. I used to see her occasionally out running.

      Wow, that was a sprint at the end! Great race from Hassan!

      She's won two gold and one bronze. What an athlete!

          By the way, Buscomb finished 20th at 32:10.49.

          Hassan's time was 29:55.32.

          Buscomb's time was a season best.

          25 runners finished the race; 4 stepped out early.

            Gold number 20 for the UK in the Men's Penathlon. Looks like the UK will beat I Can't Believe It's Not Russia for 4th place in the medals table.

                  Good first half for the Boomers against Slovenia in the bronze medal basketball match. Mills playing the house down and Matisse Thybulle’s athleticism and defence has been excellent.

                  Luka quietly (but mouthy) working into the game. For Slovenia to even get to this point has been amazing in and of itself.

                    That was super impressive. He’s only 20 as well.

                      Some run by the Norwegian 20 year old (Ingebrigsten) in the 1500m, smashed the Olympic Record. He's going to be a Superstar for years to come.

                        A phenomenal run and the time is off the charts.

                        Not often you see a couple of Kenyans hunched over on the ground and the winner looking fresh.

                          Not Russia have just won Golds in the Artistic Swimming and the Heavyweight Wrestling. Gold in the Volleyball would put them 4th in the Medal's table again.

                                    Google tells me that Hassan is the first woman to podium in the 1500, 5000, and 10,000 (2nd to win the 5,000 and 10,000).

                                    Pretty fucking cool.

                                        Congrats to the Boomers. Patty Mills with a performance for the ages. Finally a medal for the Boomers. The Goorjian factor can’t be underestimated too. Pretty stoked for them. Gaze sounded like he was about to cry in the commentary box!
