Rio 2016 Summer Olympic Games Open!

US OLYMPIC TEAM DISTANCE RUNNERS AND WALKERS
Watch them compete and cheer them on! ALSO, take note of their racing form. They will be running/walking 'tall', chest open, head forward, with quick steps, pumping their arms.
 
The times listed below (from Google) are only for FINAL races; the qualifying heat rounds will be earlier. NBC is covering the Games.  I think these times are EDT, but check local listings to be sure. Hopefully all the US runners and walkers will make it to the finals. The RunningUSA link below takes you to a list all the track and field team members.
