Uceny goes down! Uceny goes down!

Crap positioning like that other loser Ryun

I shall now on refer to her as Morgen Trippeny....or

Trippen Uselessly. I haven't decided which one yet.

You are a pathetic blowhard, whenever I come onto this board there you are with nothing of worth to say. Kill yourself already.

I am absolutely serious, you will not be missed.

I have a feeling a runner from another country would have finished. Who knows how many might get stripped in the next few years? For all we know Rowbury migh get a bronze

Feel so bad for her but...kind of reminds me of Mary Slaney. Ran great with no one around her, but always got into trouble in international races. Hard to believe its a coincidence for Morgan twice in major meets. I still love her dearly though

Yeah, Slaney sure got in trouble at the Worlds in 1983.

Actually she ran from the front in both the 1500 and 3000 that year.

Given the slow pace, Uceny should have done the same.

Fast forward. Olympics are over now. Moving on.

Although it probably won't make any difference to anybody here, in that last line I was referring to the poster, not Uceny.

I think she will regret not finishing. It was a missed opportunity to create something good out of an important moment, possibly the most important race she will ever participate in.

Who would want little kids to see Uceny fall down and throw a tantrum like that? She was given an opportunity to be an inspiration and role model in that situation (by getting up and finishing) and instead threw it away by slapping the track and crying like a baby. Dumb bitch.

Well on the other hand in regards to this LRC thread title

"Uceny goes down! Uceny goes down!" I was about to reply

"ON WHO! ON WHO!"

Actually she has fallen THREE years in a row. Also in the Diamond League Final 2010, in Zurich.

oh man...poor morgan. But really - twice? Has to be her fault in some way - she has to learn how to stay out of trouble.

For something that comes around every four years , I dont know how you let an opportunity like that go away because of a slip . I dont know about an Olympic Final in the womens 1500 , but I know every time I or any of my fellow high school competitors have fallen , whether it's in the 400m hurdles, 800 , or even 3200 , you get back up and keep running . I think it's a pride thing between men , but you always fight until the very end . In one case , a fall helped me PR as I was running slightly below PR pace in the 800 and a trip 300m into the race and after I fell and the leaders passed me I ran my heart out to catch up .

i didn't read much of this thread, but for the good of mankind, I feel I need to add my analysis (re-posted from another thread), which I am sure is more accurate than what has been put forth so far:

--------------------------------------------

"Uceny was not "tripped from behind". She was in too much traffic(could have gone to the lead sooner, like Mo Fararh) , bumped her trailing leg into the runner behind her (or you could say they "bumped legs". In no way did the runner who bumped legs with her "trip her"). THEN....her leg came forward clipping her other leg, tripping herself. yes, the fall was initiated by the contact with the runner behind her, but she then proceeded to trip herself. That runner behind her did not cut in front of her, push her, impede her, move into Uceny's lane, or anything like that. It was just a routine (must happen 10x a race), touch of uceny's back striding foot into the normal forward motion of another runner. But somehow it was enough to make uceny kick herself, which somehow was enough to make uceny go down."

---------------------

You are all welcome

Uceny has exacerbated her loser ways by claiming that she is pulling out of the remainder of the season due to "injuries sustained in the fall in London".

Just like Tard-mo' crapping out after the Eugene incident, behavior like this should have been expected from the likes of Uceny. It is entirely in keeping with the character, or lack thereof, that she displayed in London.

I repeat: Spare me the histrionics. Uceny is a LOSER. A HUGE LOSER.

The histrionics are coming from you.
