JENNY SIMPSON THROWS SHADE AT LAURA MUIR

Hardly - she did get 4th only 10th of a sec behind the medals

and left some big names in her trail!

That is called pursuing debate through collection of facts and evidence, not obsession. It is true that she sat on Simpson every race I've seen. Rowbury has one outdoor world medal (I am not counting World Relays). Rowbury has no individual NCAA titles. Rowbury has the two American records and a World outdoor medal, but cannot beat Simpson.

I love how JS gets no respect because she gives no respect to her competitors. It's all about her and her drama queen status.

Ummm, maybe it's you and not Simpson who is the drama queen.

I agree with KJY - I think Jenny Simpson only cares about Jenny Simpson. She tries to show otherwise, but you can see right through it. One of the reasons Ive never liked her.

Great runner, and racer. Another excellent result.

Do those 5th Avenue mile wins count for any thing?

When your resume includes multiple World Championship medals, one of which is a gold, you are at the top of the sport. The Olympic bronze adds to the great accomplishments by Jenny. This latest silver is a very good result.

Here is a unique angle of the race focusing on Bahta, but this clip has some angles that were not shown on TV, it's great.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6LkbMrsEQE

I was not comparing her to Shannon Rowbury. They have enough head-to-head battles for those to make decisions.

I was simply stating that Jenny Simpson's Olympic resume is not that stellar. And now that you bring to light Rowbury's Olympic resume, Shannon appears much more consistent. However, I give the nod to Simpson based on 2016 Rio.

Ya, like there are a lot of people around with Olympic medals!

Please recheck your facts because you are wrong again

Has not sat on Simpson in every race I have seen

Has 2 individual global medals

Has NCAA individual title

Has beaten Simpson

Try again.

Red White and Blue is Muir's country's colors too. Also France, Russia, the Netherlands, Cuba, and probably around a third of the other countries of the world.

If you want a unique flag, pick six colors like the South Africans. WVN threw red, black, green, yellow, white and blue at the absent Makwala.

Which matters more though? (here's a hint: its not the diamond league)

Jenny is one of the greatest ever. Period.

A Polar opposite of Genzebe. Shows up at the big events and mediocre otherwise. At the top of her game, Jenny is not even in the same league as Genzebe.

Agreed. She often comes across stuck up in interviews. Also have never been a fan of her dramatics at finish lines. The other day seemed over the top and like showboating. I appreciate the more humble runners.

According to this site Semnya is a man, so how come a woman is beating her?
