The 5000m final in London at the Olympic Games this Saturday should be a fast one. There is a good chance someone is going to run faster than 12:57.82 the Olympic Record. The world record is 12:37.35 but who knows. Everyone in the finals ran 13:26 or faster in the qualifying heats on Wednesday. All three Americans (Rupp, Lagat and Lopez) and Britian's Mo Farah qualified for the finals....
The New York Times reported: A mobile lab drove up to the hotel and Galen Rupp prepared for what amounted to the world’s coldest shower. He climbed into a chamber wearing his socks and underwear. His head and hands poked out the top of the cylinder.
For three minutes Tuesday Rupp let nitrogen vapor blow across his body, lowering his skin temperature to about 32 degrees. The treatment, known as a cryosauna, or cryotherapy, is designed to inhibit inflammation and enhance blood flow and oxygenation of the muscles.
On Saturday night, Rupp had won a silver medal in the 10,000 meters, the first Olympic medal in the event for an American since 1964 and only the third ever. His training partner, Mo Farah of Britain, had won gold.
