Agreed!!!
WAY TO GO! JENNY!
CONGRATULATIONS!
AWESOME!
I've always loved the way Jenny Simpson races. She's smart when she needs to be, gutsy when it's on the line, and she reps her country well. I am very happy for her and her family!
I thought Jenny looked horrible in the smei, never considered her for a medal, I thought she had no chance.I WAS WRONG girl ran huge. Congrats Mrs Simpson. Well done!
It was that hot braid thing she had going on. Girl's a stone fox. Cold as ice and willing to sacrifice.
Yes, I think it really worked in her favor that she did make an attempt to go to the lead early and just tougher it out and she did just that, 1600 meters, she is 2nd
And how about that Jenny Scream after the finish. It will someday be world famous.
Great run!

She was smart in the semi and only ran as fast as she needed to qualify. A certain WR holder could learn from her.
what an awesome feat! congratulations to a great racer and a greater human being. class act.
Both Americans controlled their acceleration very well. They measured their effort perfectly. I was impressed.
Great job Simpson!
I can't believe she hung onto those leaders. She almost ran down Dibaba too.
Yes, congratulations, Jenny! You are truly a great American.
Jenny, don't change your number!
I'm sorry, but something about Simpson bothers me. The over-the-top celebrating 3rd place, the Dibaba comments, not knowing where Rowbury finished (or caring, apparently) until much later. Is it just me?

Simpson is a bitter hypocrite and take thyroid meds.
Speaking of personality, Rowbery is indeed much better.
Rowbury, typo.
Jenny is finally on that Juice now. Last 800 meter pb in a deep field. Just out of the blue after a weak season
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
