Krause is really good at peaking. She was a dark horse in 2015, then lost a bit contact to the top (although #6 in Rio was not bad). In 2018 she had a bad season but dominated the Euros and now there was some chance after her 9:07 in Zurich. Nevertheless, I had her at #5 after Frerichs and Kiyeng.
But hardly such an upset as the small Ugandan in the 800m!
Poor Rogers can't really celebrate with Wilson hanging around.

Sifan would have walked that
I disagree with that last 100m
NBC is trying to cover themselves from liability. I’m surprised they even mentioned the controversy
As I said earlier, Sifan could have chosen the 800/1500 double and acheived double gold. This race proves it.

So proud of Coburn and Krause. Especially Krause!!!! Brilliant clean training and running. So much for the Kenyan "revenge" sweep. Maybe next time.
I’m sorry but why do you think Gesa Krause is clean. She is managed by Marc Corstjens who has had his top three athletes all test positive: Ruth Jebet, Kipyegon Bett, and Eunice Kirwa. Krause goes to Kenya to train for part of the summer most years so to me she seems just as suspicious as any of the Kenyans.

What the hell. That Ugandan girl should have been disqualified for the pushing in the heats. Disgraceful to even see her in the final.
Really?? That's old news. A bunch of sore losers on here. Great victory for the Ugandan.

From the guy who said Jakob should not have been DQ'd? Please.
Denmark's 22 year-old Anna Emilie Moeller ran 9:13 to get 7th place. She broke her own national record and u23 European record (which belonged to Gesa Krause prior to this year btw). Excited to see what she can do in the future, she's still so young.
Nakaayi didn't push Goule. Goule moved into her path and she held her line.
Damn, was delusionaly hoping Rababe would get first Moroccan medal. :(
Anyway know if she gonna be 1500 too ?
KARMA for the girl from Philly???

Now a feature on the XY DSD 800 athletes ... "elevated testosterone" but no mention of the fact that they are all XY.

The truth needs to keep being stated, over and over and over, until this travesty has been stopped.
Do you expect anything less from liberals? They love to tell half truths.
Mahuchikh improves WJR by another 2 cm to 2.04. Lasitskene still without any misses.
Wilson's strategy of getting to the front by 200 and slowing things down is usually effective, but she had to push a bit too hard to get to the lead in this one. You could tell in the first 100 that it she was really going after it.
And what's the deal with the 4th place running parading around and celebrating with a flag? Reminds me of a Tennessee football fan celebrating Alabama's success.

Low IQ response.
Jakob got bumped over the line.
Uganda girl was frequently initiating contact. EASY DQ the politically correct officials missed.
Didn't hear a peep about it from the brojos either, though one of them threw a fit about Jakob.

Pretty sure she is entered, it's her main event, isn't it?

Better than Levchenko and almost as hot!

Did you get bumped on the head when you were a kid?
The Arab announcer is having a hell of a time with Lasitskene's last name.
She is so dominant. I wonder if she has a world record in her at some point in the next 2 years.
