After finishing lap 8, Christie's pace has slowed by about 10 seconds a lap. Would the decline stop there?
Melville ticking off another lap.
Johnson looking like he may be in for a long day.
Pfahler, however, looks fresh and attacking the turn with enthusiasm.
Miale was not having a good day. Each lap progressively got slower, now clocking over 6:00/km.
Nehnevaj was over a minute back, but now walking faster than Christie!

James continued demonstrating Olympian form, if not speed ;).
Casey had been dropping her split time, but as the heat rose, her times followed upwards.

Harris looked distraught, a speedy miler, the 20km was a completely different type of race.
In contrast, Melville looked like she was ready to chase after the leaders, did she have enough left
for another dramatic finish like in 2016 when she challenged Michta-Coffey through the final straighaway?
