I find it hilarious how often females fall in distance races on tracks.

At exactly 1:30 into the race, Moser tripped Kamph by stepping on her heel. Then Kamph steps over the rail.
...and here this whole time, I was under the impression that the revitalized treniere had "one of the best kicks in the world". Guess you can't believe everything you read.
Aregawi made a poor attempt at facial grimacing trying to make that difficult.
If she's not dirty I'm a bug-eyed martian.
Embaye the silver medalist should be DQd for disrupting Moser the way she did in the lap after Heather fell. no way should they DQ Heather for falling onto the rail, which appears to be the only time she stpped out of bounds...
I agree that Embaye impeded Moser.
Maybe the 3000m women should all hold hands and walk off the track tomorrow as a kumbaya protest of the 1500m DQs
Is that a major or minor infraction compared to interference with another runner?
so did moser get some come back on heather for leading the protest in ABQ? girls can hold grudges for a long time. I have seen female soccer players wait almost a whole season to get revenge when a red card won't matter any more. maybe????

No but I know all the intelligent people are hoping GG gets dq'd tomorrow. (No sarcasm). Because you have to be really dumb and a pretty sad/pathetic human to not think she deserved to be dq'd at nationals.
Siham "Gabe" Hilali reinstated on appeal (4th place).

If you're talking about her contact with Hasay, then you're wrong. Hasay is the one that cut in front of GG. I don't think it's a big deal either way and neither deserves a penalty, but you're wrong.
Wouldn't it have been nice to see the gal who carried the mantle of young women running on her shoulders for 8 years. Wouldn't it be nice to see the next girl that could help her hold up that responsibility and even take it to the next level.
It's a shame that sites like this prevented that from happening.

That is kind of hilarious that Sifuentes will end up with a bronze medal. Especially since she barely got in the final.
Sifuentes was 4th in the race. Only 1 DQ in front of her.

African Women running 4:00 is no big deal. Women have been running clean 4:00 min 1500s for a long time.

No diff than what Greunwald did, but she gets a pass because what? people have their ass hairs x about not getting a nike contract...booohooo, she does shit at world good choice.
Maybe she was off the cancer meds/like lance.
Sifuentes is the first race walker to medal in a running event!
Sifuentes is now the first race walker to medal in a running event!
Ya know..... Treniere pulled up right behind Heather dangerously close!
