Faith Kipyegon GOLD. Dibaba Silver. Simpson Bronze

Dibaba must be off the juice

Jenny your the best! Love you!

Really thought Simpson was gonna catch Dibaba. Still trying to figure out Dibaba's race strategy there. Feel bad for Rowbury.

Americans had poor positioning from 500 to 250 out from end. Stuck on inside, I saw Rowbury get her stride cut. Two medals could have totally been possible tonight

Should put to bed the debate over Jenny vs Shannon

10 more meters or better positioning and she would of, amazing run by Simpson great job, what the hell happened to dibaba?

1:57 final 800!! Simpson might have PR'd for 800!

Yeah that last 800 would likely top 5

The American women should get racing tactic lessons from centro

Trying to figure out Muir's race strategy, or the lack thereof. Dumb, dumb, dumb. As opposed to Simpson, who's a real smart racer.

Would help to have your coach not in jail

Never feel bad for Rowbury. She sold her soul, and is reaping the reward.

Simpson was one who nearly tripped Rowbury at one point. Simpson's positioning throughout the race was better that Rowbury's throughout the race, but still far from perfect. Rowbury had it a bit rough, but still did amazing. Great run by both. 20 more meters and they both may have caught Dibaba.

Absolutely agree, it's extremely rare to have a perfect race, especially in the Olympic finals. Both Rowbury and Simpson ran great races, tons to be proud of

+1000

Thank you Capt'n Obvious

I though Dibaba was going to jog 3:55 to 4:00 for the win. She is most definitely off the sauce.
