Amy Yoder Begley led early on in the women's 5,000 final.
|
Shalane Flanagan ran in second place early on, and then moved up on Yoder Begley's shoulder.
|
Eventually, Flanagan would have no more of the slow (relatively speaking) pace, and she moved into the lead. Carrie Tollefson and Shayne Culpepper followed.
|
Flanagan soon began to pull away, and no one went with her.
