Breaking news: Athing Mu breathing hard after 800 meter tempo interval
Legendary performance!
Epic finish for Bronze by Raevyn Rogers!
USA! USA! USA!
Looked like Rudisha out there leading. Unbelievable
Finally real and clean biological women running 1:55!
Big day for our sports, big day for Athing Mu - congratulations!
I expect WR from her in the future. I think she can do it
She ran the way you must run when you are the best by far. NO TACTICS, run your competitors into the ground.

Give her 2 years to work on her endurance, and she's gonna break it for sure.
Another great race. Almost the entire field ran their PR's. 19yr olds take 1st and 2nd

Wtf is wrong with you?
Thinking Rudisha could have broken 1:40 if they had this track in London.
Awesome race. So much for those folks who worried that Mu "ran like a high school girl" and wouldn't know how to deal with the tactics of Olympic racing. I'm pretty impressed with her one tactic: control the pace and crush the competition. Fun to watch.
First and second in 1:55. Amazing. Rogers running a PB after the last year is a great result as well. Good to see the race live up to the hype
