Unfortunate to watch grunewald pull that move on hasay in the 3000m. Watched it live on tv, don't understand her reasoning behind that move. Was asked about it post race interview, and didn't mention anything about it either. Unclassy move grunewald. Would've been interesting to see how hasay would have placed if she didnt get trampled.
She wasn't robbed. And I'm not convinced altitude got to her either. SHe simply hasn't been finishing races well. It's hard to out kick a 4:01 and 4:00 person to begin with. Even harder when you have been tying up in your own races.
Yes there was contact. But Hasay got blown out over the last 200 and finished 4th. It should not be a DQ but employee 1.1 has texted from Albuquerque to say that Grunewald just told him Alberto Salazar is trying to get her DQd. I don't understand why anyone who got blown out would protest anything. It's like losing a basketball game by 10+ points and then saying, "But I got fouled midway though the 4th quarter."
I'm sorry but if she gets DQd, I'm going to irate. I understand why coach Salazar would be upset but think he needs to take a step back here.
