I noticed after the race , both Mclean and Norris glanced at the Nike support group with an expression of total distain .
Not a surprise. Norris is not exactly the nicest around. She should watch it, she's a huge sus
Norris is a Champ , with many US titles coming her way . she is the most promising middle D runner in the US . Have my doubts with Kate Pace . Look for Norris, Stafford battle it out for best North American.
I also think Elle thought she was just running for 1st/2nd and only competing against Norris for 1/2 and didn’t realize Heather was coming in the far outside till it was too late. bad race tactics on her end.
No reason for Purrier to make a rookie mistake like that. Run hard through the line! Purrier was caught off guard.
Definitely thought the same thing. MacLean didn't even look like she was breathing hard post race and then seemed to be avoiding eye contact with Purrier St. Pierre. Purrier didn't even glance in her direction. Very weird interaction (or non-interaction) between teammates
Seems to be on her ankle. Assume she's having some instability there.
Perhaps it may be from stumbling in the Olympic Trails race, which caused her to injure her ankle/foot. This in turn could have resulted in instability in this area.

This. Maclean didn’t look tired at all…very bizarre

They aren't just teammates. They are very close friends.
Maybe Maclean just felt bad at denying her close friend the opportunity to go to the world championships.
Yes, it’s crazy to think that Norris would want to be on a level playing field by wearing carbon shoes. Isn’t it? What a poor take.
Has Reebok even made a pair for their team? If not, her other option is to wear shoes without springs, because in case you haven’t noticed, the shoes are the reason for the significant time drops across the sport. And it’s not even a discussion. If you don’t wear them, you’re not relevant.
This doesn’t seem like rocket science to me. On did this all last year, along with Brooks. People/companies who want to be competitive understand this.
Crazy that Elle was left off the team but sure she will be back tomorrow in the 3,000m
i wouldn’t be surprised if she is DNS. she looked rough in that race and didn’t look fit. maclean suspect…
Lol really? They're training partners. McLean was also an Olympian. She's suspect because she outkicked people in a slow race? If anything Purrier is suspect but I doubt that too.
