I never ever watch marathons but I am glued to my TV right now watching the women's Olympic marathon that is getting close to its conclusion and an American woman is shocking everyone as she is in the lead group (only 4 remaining). If I heard the announcers correctly this woman (Molly Seidel) is only in her 3rd marathon ever.
Racing in Sapporo (Northern Japan) and the heat has got to be draining on these women. If she just medals it will be a spectacular shock, let alone possibly get the gold. She's hanging with the top runners in the world from Kenya.
