This is why Jordan Hasay should give up her spot

I'm not gonna lie. I would feel pretty crappy if I was Jordan Hasay right now. I don't think I would be able to bring myself to run at worlds, especially after finishing 4th. I would feel like I didn't deserve to go.

If she dropped her spot, a lot of people would respect her for standing up to Saladbar, but a lot of people would also be really upset about it. Can't make everyone happy.

Why would Hasay want to give up her spot? These girls compete like wolves all year for this position. She was run over like a train by GG the wild woman

The reason for this overreaction is clear, 1) Everyone is disgruntled with USATF, 2) Everyone does not like NIKE (surprising since they basically sponsor the sport) and 3) nobody likes Alberto Salazar, and 4)GG is a cancer survivor victim.

Meanwhile poor Jordan is caught in the middle of this mess.

I would lose a lot of respect for Hasay if this is the way she punches her ticket to Worlds.

I like Alberto Salazar. Remember him racing at Hyde Park

5 mile when he was about 12. I think he ran in the 26's

He always competed with his best effort, not mention that

he ran Comrade's

I would lose a lot of respect for Gruenwald if she doesn't admit she run dirty.

I just rewatched the video. The reaction is based in that it looks like Grunewald did not intend to touch Hasay.

Hasay should run worlds and NOT give up her position.

GG was rightfully DQ'd, sad but all her own doing.

fu#k off already-- hasay was clipped at best. The only contact that she had with GG was with her foot. Go watch the video.

Besides, that doesn't happen in races? Ever? This is the first time someone's ever gotten clipped in a race? Please.

Does Hasay really believe she would have made it if she hadn't been clipped? Only way she thinks that is if Salazar brainwashes her into thinking it. Will be interesting when she finally comes out and says something about it- her silence to this point indicates to me that she knows something isn't right.

Why not just let all 4 go to worlds? Why only 3? Dumbest thing ever

Wow I didn't realize you were an idiot

GG just tried to pass to late and ended up running into Hasay and Rowbury.

Gabe did not contact Rowbury.

You obviously did not watch the race carefully. That is, the entire race. Watch the ENTIRE race and see how dirty Grunewald played. She was elbowing and clipping all along, a strategy only an obscene coach would admire.

Now to the coach. Why would you teach her such tactics? Please tell us coach? You gonna keep those clipping techniques in charge? Or are you going to teach your runners the professional way and how to "RUN AROUND" the runner like a professional. Tell us coach, we're waiting for your response.

Hi, Team USA Minnesota coach Dennis Barker here. Believe it or not, I don't coach any defensive tactics. You have an unbelievable imagination. I only tell my runners to be prepared for whatever comes their way in a crowded indoor race. Obviously, Alberto Salazar takes a different approach, preparing his athletes mainly with rabbited, intra-team time trials.

If Jordan thinks this is bad, she is in for a HELL of a wake-up call when she starts running in some international meets, which it looks like she'll be doing. That is, if she keeps up with the pack.

Best,

-Coach DB

^Because that's mature.

+1 for man handling this troll, Coach.

You have my vote, keep up the good work with your runners!

GG has a reputation for running into other racers.

That is a well documented fact, just ask Morgan Uceny.

The biggest question left out of all this is why she was not coached to not run up the a$$ of other runners, and to not bump other runners.

If nothing else, this race should teach her.

Jordan was all over the track. She was continuing to run towards the outside of lane 1. Inadvertent contact to use football terminology. Gabe shouldn't have been DQ'd.
