Final leg from the Americans was terrible. Took them from 3rd to 8th.

I did wonder at the exchange why she wouldn't just take the other one off as well then (better run with no shoes than run unbalanced with one, I'd say), but hadn't noticed she did that later on. Smart indeed

Going into the last kilometer or so I thought one of the Kenyans might take the win here, and they do!
