Saw my first athletics event, the 10000m for women. Tirunesh Dibaba of Ethiopia has won gold and set a new Olympic record. Dibaba's time of 29:54.66 was enough to break the old record of 30:17.49 set by fellow Ethiopian Derartu Tulu and hold off silver medalist Elvan Abeylegess of Turkey who ran a time of 29:56.34. Bronze went to Shalane Flanagan of the United States in a time of 30:22:22.
