And literally when I wrote this her jerky jumping made the runner behind her fall because she runs so inconsistently. What on earth.
Obiri's talent doesn't give a phuc what you think of her form.
Oh uh the OAC clan is busy downvoting and making nasty remarks

I'm suprised Sage didn't comment on her provocative wardrobe

Wow, great run by Obiri. Just taking fluids making a difference from NY? Kudos to Ritzenburger.
Damn, Obiri is a quick learner.
OK, not just fluids. She said she learned to be patient.

With so many comments about Obiri's form here (not even mentioning her name), it really does seem like they have not been watching the track if they can't identify a multi-global medallist

Why do these course officials seem to be confused directing runners to the finish line? It looked like the one dude waved the runners to their right after Obiri finished on her left, then we see the others finishing on the left except Bates who finished on the right. Is it that difficult to cross a finish line?
It was distracting it was so weird. I was trying to figure out what was so unique that people had to change directions going left or right? They will get the bugs out, its a new race.

Running these races is how Fauble earns a living. This result probably buys him another 2 years worth of a contract/ past the Olympic cycle.
Don’t show off, don’t get ahead of yourself. Mine that coal and be top American. Collect a bonus, appearance fee in the fall. Probably won’t run it next year because of the trials

Emma already stated in a pre Boston interview she confident she could run 2:18:00 or faster on a flat fast marathon course right now.
Honestly thought she was exaggerating during the interview. Now I certainly agree she knows what she is talking about, WTG Emma operating on a truly elite world class level!!

Obiri's leg stride looks good. That's what matters. Arm carriage and head stability are overrated.

grrr!! you will not hate on women's running form
you'd think their form would be cleaner if they were on roids!!
I have no idea what you are trying to express with those strange random "thoughts. "
It has nothing to do with her being a male or female obviously. And I have no idea what your steroid comment means.
It's just funny when you pretend to not know her name.
And it's even funnier when clowns like you think there is one exact perfect running form for distance running when it has been proven Time and Time and Time and Time and Time again that Runners with less than the "ideal running form" [ conceived of by pseudo experts] run some of the fastest times ever.
She uses her arms a lot. More than most runners. The End. Nothing remotely "disgusting" about it. Sorry to break it to you Form Fairy.

We need to focus on how amazing Emma's performance was for sure. She's our #1 today!

Hope Bates learnt a valuable lesson today.
Don't pace the rest of the group when you're feeling that good. Save everything for the final surge.

Well if anyone even watches track or her on track we’re not subjected to 2.5 hrs of this painful observation

And yet the woman who went down because of it tucked in right behind her again, once she got back into the pack. <shrug>

Are they?
Bates 5th, 2:22, about 8 minutes off the women's WR
Fauble 7th, 2:09, about 8 minutes off the men's WR.
Fauble never has and never will be in the mix to win unlike Bates and Seidel. Dude doesn’t have it in him to take a chance
He knows his limits, he ain't stupid like Albertson and Mantz. He slowly but surely took them apart and got 1st American.
