Amazing run by McLaughlin. In her interviews and general demeanor she seems to be burdened with with the stress of expectation. If anything, that expectation just went up. Anything less than a gold medal will be seen as failure. Shamier Little did the same thing as Leah Falland, trying to go with people better than you and paying the price. If she had raced more conservatively she would have made the team.
Dude, she clipped a hurdle and still was only 0.15 out of 3rd. There is no going with people in the 400m Hurdles, you run your race. She was looking great until that little bobble on that hurdle.
