Race strategies looked the same to me. There were some athletes who could run fast and some couldn't, in both mens and women's. Some athletes rode harder than others as a result on the bike. Fairly simple.
Looking at the drop off in the top 10 of mens and women's, I stand by my point. Those girls are struggling with mastering the 10km run. In the mens you had to run a 32 to be in the top 10. A 38 snook in the top 10 in the women's.
Different dynamics in terms of break aways, not different strategies.
As I said last week after New Plymouth, the rest of the world better take note of the US. A 34 10km and 2 athletes coming in at 35minutes in the top 20. The focus is so Gwen at the mo, we (the rest of the world) may quite likely hand you guys a clean sweep of the Rio podium if we're not careful.
