Ballsy. Good for her
A standard in a solo effort. Baller.
This was great to watch.
That was inspired running.
OMG Yes!
Amazing.
Wow! And I thought the 5k prelims were going to put me to sleep. Great run!

Ballsy doesn't describe her. Let's try a different descriptor.
Good for her. Now top 3 in the final if she hasnt emptied the tank.
That was hardcore. Most fun prelim I've seen in a long time.
Definitely an impressive run. Hope she still has some gas in the tank for the final.
Let's see if Karissa qualifies effortlessly.
Seeing a clean athlete going to the well like that makes my eyes cloud up. She was hurting so much and wanted it so bad. I'll take that over some smooth robot ticking off a WR any day.

Gutsy! Gritty, especially what she had gone through.
Abbey's a hero. After all her injuries and surgeries, I wasn't sure we'd see her at this level again.

That race was a work of art.
That was her only option if she wanted to give herself any chance of going to the Olympics since she didn't have the qualifying time coming in. If she waited until the final to go for the qualifying time she would be the rabbit and everyone else would just sit and kick on her and she would be toast.
Electric performance! Guts
Go Abby!
