I have to say, I have gotten fed up with TV commentators conveying shock that a pace is so slow at the beginning of any Olympic or WC distance race.
I get it that it doesn't make sense for some of those runners to let it go so slow. But its been so common over the years I don't know how anyone can be surprised.
time for mcleod to fall
Diversity has ruined the Olympics. Im listening to the Olympics and hear, '1 of 2 frenchmen in the Finals', I look up and its some big African....

it's funniest in ping-pong. 90% of players from non-china countries are chinese
I wonder if the large man they are showing when the say they are showing Allen's parents pays for two seats. There's no way he only takes up one seat. The stadium isn't close to being sold out, so it's not really an issue, but still.
I think Allen is going to run well here, not too big of a stage.

JENNY IS PROBABLY THE REAL GOLD MEDALIST.
2 dopers beat her.
So coach Mark Wetmore has 2 bronze medalists in his stable. Well done.
Well they were born in France so it makes them French. Thats how it works.
They've all pointed to heaven. Now we see which one God loves the most.

What was Jenny's last 800? 2:00?
I'd like to know this too. Anyone have this stat?
Fabulous run from Jenny Simpson - congratulations to her, and absolutely deserved - probably deserves the silver at least (does anyone believe Didoper is clean?), if not the gold. Rowbury should have medalled, minus the doper/s.
Disappointed for Muir, but she's only 23, and has a lot of chances in the future.
Omar Comin'!

So Billy Mills is the only US Olympian on the track who ever had any meaning? Do you think indigenous Jamaicans look like Bolt and Frasier Price?
13.05 slow time, but Mcleod wins.

great for jenny but muir - wtf .disappointing.
muir should have just gone and time trialed 3:58. She proved she can do that.
Seventh in the Olympics.
All but one of the athletes who finished in front of her have run faster for 1500.
Despite misjudging her finishing drive and running out of steam with 280 or so to go, still ran ~2:03 (?) for last 800 when her best for the distance is 2:00, pretty gutsy.
Also, any of the other athletes in that final heading straight off after the Olympics for a veterinary placement?
What an awful failure...
Jamaican doper gets the gold.
Cuban pretending to be a Spaniard gets the Silver.
African pretending to be a French man gets the Bronze.
THANK YEEU JEEEEZUS
