Kwa upande wa wanawake, MKenya wa kwanza, MwiEthiopia wa pili, MMarekani wa tatu.

* MwiEithiopia alizimia mara baada yakupita finish line. Walimtoa kwenye stretcher. MMarekani Kara Goucher kalia kweli kwa vile hakuwa wa kwanza!!

Kwe upande wa wanaume, MwiEithiopia wa kwanza, MKenya wa pili, MMarekani wa tatu.

Mwaka huu waKenya wametuangusha. Tumezoea kuwawaona wanakimbia kama saba mfululizo na nafasi zote za juu wanasherekea wao. Nadhani walikuwa wanasherekea ushindi wa Rais Obama na wakasahau kufanya mazoezi.

EBO! WATANZANIA HEBU MECHANGAMKIE HIZO PESA!
