BMart out
Arguable on impeding, and probably not intentional, but very dumb to be running that close to Lipsey with a wide-open track to her right.
Niyonsaba and Wambui big Q
Martinez is gone as she finished 3'rd and the heat was in the 2:01 range.
Too bad for Martinez just had no room to pass.

THat's crazy! I thought Lispsey impeded Sharp by drifting out. It was also a bad move by Lipsey because it let Cichocka through.
The slo-mo was quite funny, they actually hooked arms for a moment. Did the USA appeal?
man thought bmart might do it :(
Why did Sharp get DQ'ed?
Martinez would have easily been able to hold off wambui but her positioning was terrible.
She should have moved to the outside earlier, she was boxed in the whole race.
Head-on replay showed she did actually have room on the inside. Just dumb to let it go out that slow when you know what time you'll need for the little q.
Reese into first in LJ with a 7.02 in the third round.
Another Y-chrome final for w800

Another classic example of where running on the inside all the way to the last 100m makes no sense. She didn't give herself any room to push out. I understand the whole idea of conserving energy and running the least amount of distance, but you can't stay on the inside for that long and hope someone in front of you drifts out. Definitely a shame, but bad positioning didn't help....not even sure that would have saved her against that monster top 2 of that heat though.

^^ THIS ^^
Why didn't anyone make the third heat fast? Beating the top 2 was going to be more difficult than running 1:59.x for 4th I would think.
Robby in heat 1 with Manangoi, Kiprop, Iguider, Ingebrigsten.
Johnson just told Martinez that she had to sit and wait, when she was clearly out... gotta love NBC and its knowledgable staff.
The stupid intersexed MEN have no business being in women's events!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really? Guess I missed that, but Martinez is notorious for taking up a lot of room with her arm swing so maybe she needed more room still.
Feel bad for Brenda. That was a tough semi. I think she can be good 1500 runner for the next 2-4 years.

This is what I don't get. When you are heat 3/3, you know EXACTLY what you need to do to move on. There should be no excuses, especially when the time to beat is well within your capabilities (as 1:59.74 is for BMart).
