I wonder: Did Symmonds negative split?
Nope, not even close. Martinez did, though. She gave that race to Montano.

The first big 800 I ever watched was the 08' trials and nobody broke 1:44 Now the entire top three did.
The U.S. has a hell of a team going to worlds
I can agree with that. Great team. Brandon Johnson is a revelation. 2nd year ever running 800 and he's a sub 1:44 guy.

51.25/52.45
Tom Hammond is an idiot: "she has a bye--will she be trying?"
They just put Shalane's previous AR under the AR displayed on the screen AND showed Jenny Simpson as the 5000m 2011 world champion. Come on NBC!
This is only his second 800 of the season. He has some time to get fit and improve his speed.
No Shalane, should still be a great race.
5000 field through 400 in 81. huddle in front but obviously the pack is tight
No Flanagan = slow. Simpson will blow them away last 1600.
Usually we all get pissed if they cut to a commercial during a 5k but this race is so slow and boring I don't mind

Agreed
No Flanagan, Hasay, or Erdmann.
Too bad.
here is a working live stream
I am getting real tired of this Ashton Eaton, Alyson Felix Nike commercial...
That is really annoying Shalane Flanagan isn't running and there were no updates on the usatf website or anywhere I could find saying she wasn't running it. Is it that hard for them to update the status of entries???????????????????????????????????
In fact I'm so annoyed I don't even want to watch it.
Great Nike commercial with Ashton Eaton trying to get shoes out of the 'Claw' game.

exactly my feelings
5:15 for first 1600
6:31 at 2k
will probably come through 2 miles in 10:20s
Shalane ran faster through 3k than these ladies are running the 5k.
Is is THAT hot there, or is it just THAT tactical?
Abbey or Molly have to try to drop Simpson, no way they hang with her in the last 400.
