Not a lot of depth...4 Ethiopians and 2 Kenyans battle it out and 5 minutes later the Brits arrive. Only 16 under 2:20 and 20th was 2:26....not great with the new shoes.Last edited by Conor Dary; 10-03-2021, 03:42 PM.

I doubt it.... and even so so what? 40th isn't great either. Dew point of 72 is crazy hot to run in.
A race that was moved to Sapporo to avoid the extreme heat and humidity in Tokyo found little relief on a winding course through the city. The starter’s gun went off near 6 a.m. under a sunny sky and with a temperature reading of 77 degrees Fahrenheit (25 Celsius). It climbed to nearly 86 degrees (30) near the finish, with a humidity of around 65%.
“The weather was really hot and tough for a competition,” said Kosgei, the world record-holder in the event at 2:14.04. “We tried our best to finish.”
There were 88 runners entered in the field and 15 recorded a “did not finish.” That included world champion Ruth Chepngetich of Kenya.

A warning to anyone who thinks about changing the US selection method.
