Fastest time in the world since 2006. Kiplagat needs to run again to get the qualifying time as she was a DNF - so hopefully it'll be third time lucky.
Hayley Yelling got the 'B' standard of 31:49. I really hope she gets selected this time because she is probably one of the most unluckiest athletes with Olympic qualifying times. In 2000, she was one-second off the 5000m and in 2004, she was 0.14 (!) off the 10000m 'A' standard!
Jo Pavey and Kate Reed have the A standard, so can we take two athletes with A qualifications and a B?
