Despite warm, humid conditions, Sammy Wanjiru of Kenya obliterated the field and the Olympic marathon record with his 2:06:30 finish on Sunday. This was Kenya's first gold medal in the event. In line with the favorable cooler weather conditions, the lead guys were flying at world record pace at the 10k mark...crazy in the Olympics.
In an impressive showing at his first Olympic marathon - mind you this is only his fourth marathon ever - Ryan Hall finished in a very respectable 2:12:33, placing him 10th among the 98 participants. Here's a quick interview with Ryan where he provides some insight into his racing strategy and how this particular race played out for him. He also discusses a little of his future outlook on the sport.
