She ran great and can run even better w/ improved positioning.

Also she is proving she is legit as the US champ despite everyone complaining about Brenda Martinez. Kate Grace comes through in the clutch while Brenda chokes every time.

Brenda has a bronze medal at Worlds. That's not choking.

Where was the other American in the 800m race? I saw Ajee did not advance.

Ajee missed an auto spot to two men.

Brenda choked in 2012 at olympic trials, had a decent year against an extremely weak field in 2013, then got lucky to make the team this year only to choke big time and not even make finals.

Boola Boola.

Meatless Baked Ziti is a PED??

It certainly is reassuring that in this day and age, a privileged child of a millionaire celebrity in Southern California who went to an exclusive private prep school and then to Yale in the Ivy League can still manage to overcome all the challenges and succeed in something.

As opposed to the thousands of other kids of millionaire SoCal celebrities who didn't make an OG final or won't accomplish anything notable in their lives?

Making it the the oly finals is something even for a wealthy kid from Hollywood.

This was funny.

After the lovely Miss Kate medals, have Mom take her to Mickey D's for a Big Mac, large fries,Coke and then a tub of Ben n' Jerry's for the ride home. She's looking peaked.

Yalies like Kate Grace are braniacs not punch-drunk numb-brains with CTE like USMC General John Allen.

Needs to set another PR in the final...

And every chance of a medal. Behind the obvious favourite it looks to be a very open race. GB's Linsey Sharp also looks good for a medal.

As always, however, if Semenya allows the race to develop into a very slow affair it brings everyone into play. But at anything close to 1:58 Semenya is by far the strongest in the home straight.

Actually any child of a millionaire SoCal celebrity who isn't a total waste of oxygen is a success.

With 50.7 400 speed Caster will crush the opposition whatever tactic they use! I think she could run 1:51 if she wanted to

Ajee is running a lot slower than 2 years ago. The spring in her legs seems to be gone. Needs some good coaching.
