I thought the end of that interview was garbage. Elise just broke the American record and he asks her about letsrun messageboard rumors. Everybody knows that Shelby is in Flaggstaff training, and its clear she isn't training with these women. It clearly upset Elise and seems out of line for a post race interview. Elise is all class, and I'm usually a fan of letsrun but this didn't seem appropriate. It wasn't even really a question, more like losers on our messageboard are talking about this, what do you want say about it after breaking the American record.

If all of BTC 1) didn’t defend a drug cheat, and 2) didn’t advocate for a drug cheat to be allowed to dirty up the US Olympic Trials, then there wouldnt be rumors of BTC (and Nike) violating her suspension by supporting her with money, equipment, coaching and training partners.
Also, Shelby is now shilling for a CBD company, which any pro knows is risky for getting popped for THC.
No one said there shouldn't be rumors. I said it didn't really seem like an appropriate question in that moment. But losers are gonna loser. Strangest part about the Shelby obsession/hate is that she got caught and is getting punished. She lost her career at her peak, missed the Olympics. Isn't that the system working?

These times are way beyond the low-mid 14:40s most were predicting.
GDS and Cranny both broke their (outdoor) 5k prs by approx 15 seconds.
Not expecting Mo or Grant or Woody to knock 15 secs off their outdoor prs (12:47, 13:02, 12:58), but now thinking a 12:55 winner with others under 13:00 is in the cards.
