since im not an avid 3000m steeplechase fan and certainly dont have in depth knowledge of techniques i was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt that you could be right and i was mistaken.
but after rewatching it is absolutely clear that her lead foot slipped/slid out much further along the barrier than she intended it to. it looks nothing like her other barrier clears.
i would be surprised if you dont agree after rewatching it yourself but then again this is the internet and the last thing i thought i would see is two people fighting over a live steeplechase heat at 5am sooooo... ;)
I’ve been up so long, I’m not sure I have much energy left to invest anymore in it, for now. But in your review, you will see her body consistently goes sideways, to help clear the barrier without losing momentum; that can look like she is slipping. It was actually on the LAST jump (where she did the same thing) that Anderson and Tollefson called out her supposed ‘slip-up’; Anderson thought she did it just to play it safe (I.e., get over without worrying about ‘speed’ and ‘technique) at that point in the race; but of course, that is her bona fide ‘technique’, which is the safest, and less-taxing, and which she has practiced countless times.
Meant, at least it looks like she is leaning or headed sideways, even if she isn’t.
All the talk of Carl Lewis' 4 consecutive golds in the long jump after speculation Crouser could do the same and then none of the three Americans even make it through qualifying.
no disrespect intended but does anyone know the ages of some of the older women's hammer throwers? a few of them look like they could be in their mid 40's. maybe they are idk, impressive if so.

4 of the top 20 in the world rankings were born in the 80s, so you can be 35+ and still competing at the highest level. Anita is about to turn 39.
SML isn't doing the 4x400 women either. Why would you sacrifice two guaranteed relay golds to "focus" on an event that you can already win with your eyes closed?

Imagine if Phelps or Biles just backed out of the team events
Sydney should be targeting so many career golds, will be leaving so much on the table if she's happy with one
Also seems like it'll rule out her ever trying some kind of 200/400 double if this is her general attitude

To empty the tank in the final and run something ridiculous.
