For anyone interested, the Women's 10k is scheduled for Wed at 9am on nbc.com (streaming live video)
For sure, the one to watch is Natalie du Toit, partial amputee... the girl is an inspiration!
Here's a bit from the BBC's live Olympics chat:
"Bronze medallist Cassie Patten accused winner Larisa Ilchenko of pulling her feet - but that's par for the course in marathon swimming I'm afraid. It's very much a dog eat dog situation."
1-Larisa Ilchenko, Russia
2-GB
3-GB, Cassie Patten
:applaud: Britannia!
Natalie du Toit came in 1:22:2 behind leader, after getting her cap tangled in lane lines and trying to straighten it for most of rest of race.
Two hands clapping for Natalie!
