About the frantic pace at the Olympics Marathon

"The lead pack passed five kilometers in 14:34, fast enough to win last week's women's 5,000 meters on the track by more than a minute. Yet these guys still had 23 miles to go."
Wow, those women were slow.


and some articles with some quotes from the US runners:
LA Times Ryan Hall quotes

Dathan Ritzenheim apparently cramped up

Brian Sell isn't sure about his future after hitting the wall.

Bummer, I was expecting a bit more from the USA this year. Though I never thought it would take 2:06 to win there.
