No place is as dirty as East Africa. 🤣

Time for Nadia to change tactics? It's obvious she waited for Chebet to move. Nice try but clearly that did not work. She already has two global silvers so she might as well try something bold and make the first move, even if Chebet looks unbeatable.
I respectfully disagree. No one was going to beat Chebet, fast or slow, lead or follow. She ran 13:58 this year. You're not going to be able to pull away from her with a wind up in the last k. Better to use your kick for second than to run yourself out of the medals.
Well, if Nadia times it with lapping some of the slowfarks still out there that should have been taken off when they fell out of top ten there might be enough mayhem for her to get an extra meter or two.
Seriously - all the field events wittle done to final eight for the last "lap" by sending those behind them home early, but in the 10000 we have to endure already lapped (sometimes twice) runners continue despite getting in the way (and confusing any non-runner kids in front of the broadcast for the first time). It's such a horrible PR move for running - get them out of there when 300 meters behind!

So true. Like the culture that produced the BALCO scandal.

Nadia's father, Giuliano Battocletti, tested positive for Nandrolone, yes, but let me quote directly from the Chamber Act (link here: ):
"Two athletes from Trentino tested positive for Nandrolone: middle-distance runner Giuliano Battocletti and sprinter Ilaria Sighele. In this case as well, the athletes had taken a product of American origin, Iron Complex Long Life (a simple iron supplement), and once again the substance that was found was Nandrolone. The issue arises from the fact that in the United States the laws regulating the production of supplements are much less strict than in Italy."
