Could they put her in the 4x400 relay pool? It sure how that selection process works…

Is there a rule that allows for it? Because otherwise, there’s not a chance they’d make an exception for her and not the myriad of other athletes.

I want a rerun for Ryan's fall now! It's just not fair.
What an absolute joke the literal gold medalist and defending champion doesnt get a spot on the team. Now we get 3 NPCs who don't have a prayer to medal.
But they stayed on their feet and finished 1 2 3.
I feel bad for Mu, however her normal racing tactic is to get to the front but because she has not raced at all she is rusty, there is no way she should have been in that pack. Go to the front, hit 400M at 57 and go from there.
That would be super effed up. Not counting the top 3 that made the team in the 400, we have at least 3 other athletes that have run sub 50 already this season while out battling consistently. Athing started her season on Friday and hasn't broken 50 in the 400 since she was at A&M back in 2021. Might as well bring Allyson Felix back and give her a spot if we're just basing this off popularity.
Mu has a Nike contract. She'll be taken care of. Tiger is the only one that gets a lifetime achievement pass to play wherever he wants.

No way!! how is that fair for the people who actually made the team!

why should they? someone else who has been training and racing all year deserve it more
Mu falling disrupted or ruined so many races for other athletes. Sage, Kate Grace, Rogers.
She owes them a race. Not given a re-run
I'm assuming a protest will be filed (not sure if it will go anywhere...) from Athing's camp, any update on it?

I know you’re a troll, but f*ck you.
I feel sorry for whoever goes in to win olympic gold now, as there'll forever be an assumption by a large portion of the public that they only won because Mu wasn't there.
Based off the little we did see of her these last few days, I'm unconvinced that she was in great form - that 1.58 semi was pretty much all out, with a dip at the end - and think defending her title would have been extremely tough anyway.
She had all season to run a tome trial.

She split like a 48 second 400 in Tokyo which was the fastest split of the games if I'm remembering
i don't get this at all. am i wrong in thinking Mu caused this entirely? she drifted hard to the left in a tight pack.
if anyone should be aggrieved it is rogers, hurta, and grace. all three were affected.
the person i feel bad for is hodginson....imo she was going to win anyway, but now folks will say she won only because mu wasn't running.
Competition is a race against other athletes, not a time-trial. That applies to everyone. No special favours. She blew her chance.
