I get a kick out of how they played up Ryan Hall for much of the race and Meb comes through with the win. Of course, that has to do with some of the non-running broadcasters. Everything has to be a cliche or witty remark. Why not put Toni Reavis alone in the booth and keep the others out on the remotes? They did a good job. They just had to put up with stupid questions or idiotic observances from the play by play guy. Just my opinion, of course.
Oh well, aside from that. Great to see Americans finish 1st and 4th.
Photo at right is from Boston in 2006 at 15 miles. Meb finished in 2:09.56, 2.42 behind Robert Cheruiyot. Not sure who #19 is, he was a dnf.

Isn't #19 Deriba Merga: fourth in the Olympics and first in Boston?

I think it is Jim, but wasn't sure, so i just left it at #19.
