Yep something definitely up with Pattison. He was in such a good position, it wasn’t a too fast first lap. He’d normally just kick away. What a shame for him.
Max looked good though. Really pleased for him.
Reminded me of Reekie. Looked to be in a good position in the final 100 and just faded.
Yeah definitely had Reekie vibes but she has form for fading. Ben normally doesn’t.
Current world champion Danyelle Williams of Jamaica finished 8th in the same heat. Did she also miss using drugs?. Both Nia Alli and Kendra Harrison did not make the Olympics. Did their drug supplier also fail to deliver?
Amusan spent most of the year waiting for CAS to resolve her dispute with AIU. For whatever reason she was not even prominent on the circuit. It is clear she was not sufficiently 'road tested' ahead Paris.
She lost. She was not good enough this time. Why don't we leave it at that?

Reekie pushed too hard from early on, it was a quicker first lap and I could see that she was going to go backwards in the home straight, because she ways does when she pushes the pace early. Pattison was lined up and in the exact position he would want to be in, but there was nothing there. Very weird.
I wouldn’t be surprised if in a few days we hear that some more of the athletes have been ill with Covid. Seems to be spreading round.
It may the the multiple rounds that is sucking the energy out of lots of athletes but there have been some surprises. (I don’t include Reekie in this as she clearly just ran a misjudged paced race).
