Marc Scott: BTC don't take the lead.
Frerichs: takes the lead, wins silver
Seriously, BTC needs a change in philosophy and be prepared to race in different ways. Great result for Frerichs
Frerichs was absolutely amazing.
The mental strength to throw it down like that, so impressive.
I found myself wishing she could have held that lead right through the final lap. But terrific effort all the same.
100% agree! Smart strategy!
After the way she defended Shelby this made me feel physically sick to watch.
I will never celebrate this medal. Whether she’s doping her not, her defense of a convicted drug cheat was disgusting.
For undermining the anti doping procedure, her coach deserves a lifetime ban more than AlSal. BTC is a bigger stain on the sport that NOP
Agreed! I feel like all the USA athletes need to be able to mix up their race and competition strategies like she did. Feels like that is missing link for USA this olympics in all events. That or we are making our athletes too comfortable in training environments and with training aids.

Not good. If the Addy Ruiter group is cheating, the carnage will be gigantic. That’s Cheptegei and many big names and it’s a camp run by Global Sports Communication the biggest distance agency in the sport (Hassan, Gidey, Kejelcha, Kipchoge, Kamworor, Kipyegon and more).

Sad, but true.

Considering how dirty BTC is the question is more like if Mekides Abebe will get upgraded to bronze before Paris 2024
Greater than 50% chance this happens.

Anybody got a replay yet? Or a decent partial?
Frerichs gets tested just like everyone else. If you accept the Houlihan test as valid, you need to accept that Frerichs is clean. Otherwise you're just another member of the cancel culture.

People can beat tests. Shelby did it for years. Need we bring up Lance's name again?
BTC is dirty at worst, morally corrupt at best
