Paris Monday PM live thread: Women’s 5000 & 800 finals (+ Live Reaction Show at 7 pm ET)

This. What, exactly, was her plan for this race? Just to disrupt things? She wasn't going to outkick Kipyegon or Chebet.

Yeah. I wasn't sure she'd get any medals. Off to a great start

Lol. She is glowing hotter than they are!

Kipyegon grabbed Tsegay. Really weird. I could see team Ethiopia petitioning for a Kipyegon DQ

Tsegay is a tetchy little goblin. Always tries that stuff.

Awesome from Hassan.

Lots of people were looking at the track, including the eventual winner. probably to not get legs caught up

Somehow Tsegay's reaction pissed me off more than her trying to cut off Kipyegon. She seemed appalled that they would call her out on that. She kept turned around and saying stuff. Yes, you are in the wrong! Then it felt like she gave up and had no fight. Almost lost to Karissa Schweizer.

Cole Hocker is another example of a runner who's always looking down at the feet of the runner ahead of him

Live result page says Kipyegon DQ?

Doesn't even matter anyway if the DQ is upheld. Ridiculous.

That Mondo clearance looked close to a WR.

Tsegay blocked Kipyegon that too in home straight. Come on at least do it on the curves. How stupid can you be.

Kipyegon is listed as DQ on the Olympics website. WTF?

Wish we woulda seen Elise’s entire last lap.. did she totally falter?? Schweizer finished ahead of her?

where and what time did crannny run?

Women whirling around and screaming.

Discus.

Tsegay looked slightly out of shape on the line. She might be in her Bekele stage and running on pure talent only putting it together every once in a while.

Battoclettis dad/coach got popped for nandrolone. We know what that did for Shelby.

So weird that the Italians come out of nowhere just for the Olympics. I'm shocked.

Hassan should thank Tsegay. Hassan silver medalist now. lol
