5th place is a fine result for a young runner at her first worlds. I was more surprised at how meh her interview with SAFP was. SA was so vibrant and lively and Abby just seemed kind of tight - you assume they’re giving her money as much for personality as for results. It’s a big stage though, and I’m sure she’s tired, stressed and a bit overwhelmed. She got her feet wet this time and now she knows what to expect.

To be fair, SAFP was the focus of that interview. Abby sensed she was sort of 3rd wheel, so it came across weird. Lewis barely included her until the very end with one quick question.
