It's linked in the other thread.

The redemption arc for the upcoming 800m will be (hopefully) an amazing battle for these four.

What's with the total silence about all this on the AA socials. I assume all appeals etc. are well over?
Are OAC and Hull pi$$ed off and so AA is trying to 'lie low'?? Would Hull have asked for a re-race? I gather it's possible-- but very rare?

No 1500 at Monaco, it’s become an 800m showcase interesting. Silesia might be the fastest 1500 of the year.

Around the 4:03 mark of the race you can see Jess occupying the second half of lane 1 and Claudia is nearly even with Jess. Honestly if I was in this race I probably would have tried the same thing that Claudia did. You see 2-3 women occupying a single lane often given its 1.2m wide and the average women is like 40cm wide. The gap opened. It’s just annoying that they both didn’t keep their lines from that point onwards as it would’ve been a good finish. On the other hand something like Hocker’s move at WC was making an inexistent gap, whereas here the gap was there. Feel sorry for both ladies and hopefully a rematch in the 800m if Jess wasn’t too impacted by the fall.

Hollingsworth reinstated as winner of Australian 1500m title.

Hollingsworth gets reinstated.

Claudia reinstated as winner, wtaf is going on in AA.

Certain sports like mma can finish in a ‘no contest’ I feel as if this is one of those races

Wouldn't be surprised if there's more drama to come with this appeal

Simon Hull has had his credential revoked

Athletics Australia has turned off comments on Instagram as it was getting ridiculous. Something they didn't need.....more controversy

Wild! So there must have been footage that Jess closed in on Claudia's line. I'm happy for Claudia, but the whole thing feels awkward.

Claudia Hollingsworth has been reinstated as the winner of the 1500m at the Australian Athletics Championships after an appeals process by Australian Athletics.
The panel found after viewing all the available footage and interviewing concerned parties Hollingsworth’s appeal was upheld.
A request for a rerun of the 1500m is not feasible at these championships, but the Australian Athletics High Performance Department and Selection Committee will review its status as a selection race.

Another AA absolutely disaster show again. Are we shocked. Nope

This is probably the best angle of what happened.

Anyone want to bet that Jess Hull will go home now not running 800 or 5k? Simon Hull was out of control last night threatening officials and Mottram with violence. as said above he’s been told not to come to stadium again. 100% he’ll pull Jess out of remainder and come up with some reason she hurt herself in the fall

She’s no longer listed in the 800 heats listing, but still showing in the 5.

Absolute chaos at how poorly AFL is administered, I take a step back and remember that it's not as bad as athletics.

They remove the name from today's events first, and then tomorrow's at a later time. Same thing happened with Stewy scratching 1500 + 5km.
Wouldn't be surprised if Jess doesn't race again at these champs.
