ELMIRA (USA): As expected, Molly Huddle decided to relinquish her Olympics spot in the women’s 5,000 meters after winning the event Sunday night at the U.S. Olympic Trials. Huddle will focus her attention in Rio de Janeiro on the 10,000 meters. She won that event at the U.S. Trials on July 2 on her way to becoming the first woman to win U.S. championships in both the 5K and 10K in the same year. Last year US runner finished fourth at Beijing Worlds over 10000m.
