Shalane Flanagan took the bronze medal today in the 10,000 meter run, beating even her own American Record with a time of 30 minutes, 22:22 seconds, racing in front of 91,000 spectators.
Even more amazing, Shalane was able to overcome a nasty bout of food poisoning that she picked up only 4 days earlier.
Looking forward to her 5000 meter run in a few days…! Congratulations, Shalane!!
(p.s. fun trivia: Shalane was also the first U.S. distance runner on the Olympic podium since Lynn Jennings won the bronze in Barcelona in 1992.)
What an amazing race. So fun to watch her proud mom’s reaction in the stands!
