Vivian Cheruiyot and Meseret Defar are doing some of the coolest races of the new year. In the 3,000m at Doha, and the 5,000m in Rome this evening, they battled to the final steps, with the Rome race the closest: 14:35.62 to 14:35.65.
Vivian Cheruiyot won both battles, with neither giving any quarter. Defar will continue the battle until she wins. The 5,000 meters in London, should be epic.
