Who is her coach now? I know a guy with a spotless record who is probably looking for a job.
Is it too late to super-sub Sara Hall over for 10k?

Compare pictures of her before and after joining AlSal. She lost A LOT of weight.

Is it Salberto Alazar, an Oregon-based coach with a freshly shaved head and a new beard?

have to admit I thought cranny and Schweitzer would have a much better showing
same. a medal was obviously too much to ask but why did they get dropped running 15 minute pace??? major fail by Jerry Schumacher.

Mary Cain said that losing weight would make her worse
I am really looking forward to the 5000m I hope the likes of Hay Gressier and Mayo can get in the mix

Mary Cain is full of sh*t. How fast is she running now?

Schweitzer may never see a PR again at 5k
Her old PR from Doha would have been a respectable result today. I really wonder why they struggled to keep up with 2:59 pace. It wasn't really fast until the last kilometer.
I exactly picked the order of the medalists in both the steeple and 5k. I said we’d see a 14:35-14:40 women’s 5k race and nailed that too. I should have wagered some money.
90F and humid might have something to do with it.

When is the last time the USA medaled in women's discuss??
Discus.

Weird how the US runner Schweizer runs 14:26 in a glorified time trial but soon as her main training partner gets busted for being a drugs cheat,she’s falling out the back at 15 minute pace…
Salazar is a fantastic coach. I would elaborate further, but there are too many soft Americans, and I don't want to hurt feelings.

We do have to remember the conditions, heat index of 90 degrees in Tokyo right now
I ran a 5 mile tempo before the race and it was really nasty out there.

Many girls were 20-30 seconds off their capable pace. tough conditions. I am sure Schweizer has at least a 14:3x in her at the moment.
The hell with this distance runner angst.
Allman wins first gold for the US track.
Nageotte and Morgan in the PV final.

No they didn't. K splits were 3:00, 3:00, 2:59, 2:58, and 2:38.
Yep, they weren't going to slow down in that part of the race, it was an idiotic comment by the announcer and shows a real lack of understanding basic elite racing
You’re absolutely wrong. Obiri increased the pace for about a lap (she was the one who surged, not the Americans a lap later) and the Americans were dropped, and then Obiri gave up the lead and nobody wanted to keep the pace going, so the Americans regained contact. This is not uncommon in tactical championship racing.
