She scratched. She was experiencing some slight issues with her calf muscle, so she didn't want to risk it, since worlds is in 2 weeks....That is what NBC reported via her agent

Announcers said according to her agent, there was a slight calf issue and they didn't want to risk anything with Worlds coming up.

I don't blame her. I think the pace was too hot. Don't need to go crazy 2 weeks out before Worlds. Just work on some speed, and be done with it..
She will be ready at 5000m. I think she will medal, that's if dibaba scratches and just focuses on 1500m. If not, then it's going to be between dibaba, obiri, and ayana
I predict that if Dibaba does race 5000m, she falls apart with fours laps to go and either DNF or goes backward to like 7th.
Bolt doing just enough to win.

No way in heel will that happen...I think she has the WL at 5000m from the pre race, with obiri being second ...I believe.

Nope. Obiri has two fastest times in the world this year. Go watch the Rome 5000m-- you will change your mind.
Bolt 9.95 FTW
Remember the Triplecast anyone? That was THE best, even if it meant watching at 3 a.m.
Cram has a hardon for Bolt.
Elish McColgan ran a huge personal best 8:31 - much much closer to Muir than anyone would have predicted. Muir herself looks a bit worn out right now (not a good sign for World's).
What happened to Shelby? wrote:
What happened to Houlihan? In the coverage, with 2 laps to go, she was right behind Rowbury. Then in the next shot to that group, she was nowhere to be seen. At the finish line, it looked like she finished way back of the Rowbury group.
She really faded the last 600-800 meters. :(
Looks like Shelby lost four seconds over the last 600-800 meters to Robury. Ouch.

Embarrassing.
The American announcer said BOLT IS BACK, BABY right before the commercial 😂😂😂
No commercials during distance races, every second of every race.
Okay, yeah Dibaba ran 14:25. Obiri ran 14:18 However, Dibaba has a personal best of 14:15 which is the second best time ( i think) behind her sister.
Obiri looks great, and has done a lot of running, but no way will I count out Dibaba. She just has too much speed. Her main problem is that she is just too damn ambitious, and does too much early.
obiri cant run faster than 14:18 ...Dibaba can.
So we shall see, but if Ayana is in form....well, it's a wrap.
I'm actually fairly skeptical of that race. He looked stressed on the line, wasn't himself. I think he might only run 9.8-mid to-high at worlds... would that be good enough?
Elish McColgan just broke her mom's 3000 record of 8:34.
2:41 a 1 k, 8:03 pace

Doped to the gills.
She's actually pure as the driven snow, so I'm genuinely sorry your ignorance keeps you from recognizing her achievement today.
8:07 pace at 2k
