Allie Wilson goes home devastated

Wilson still has a chance to get through on time, she's on the bubble right now. Next couple heats are pretty weak, wouldn't be surprised to see her get through.

Still got a reasonable chance though, one of these heats will have to get a reasonable shift on to go faster.

Too much Instagram, maybe?

Lmao.

Looks like Kiprotich (2nd in the final heat) ran 1:59 low to kick her out

Yep, she's gone. Thought she had a outside shot at making the final after her Trials performances and the 1:57 in London, but she was just totally flat yesterday. Little more life in this race but trying to win a fast race from the front 12 hours later is just impossible.

Too much time posting on social vs focusing on race.

You guys are pretty cruel.

Wilson was the first athlete I've seen cry in the mixed zone as she was very bummed to not make the final. She gave it her all but came up short. Can you ask for more than that?

She said, "I'm not gonna lie to you it went very differently than I imagined." Wilson said she hadn't even contemplated having to run the repechage round but quickly refocused.

"I tried to have a short memory and turn the page and give myself a clean slate for today. I don't think I raced my race yesterday. But I did that today. That's all I could ask for.
It wasn't enough so I can at least know I did what I had to do to try and advance."

Wilson could leave with her head high "I I really am proud of myself... Even being here is like my greatest accomplishment. I'm really proud of myself."

So now you think they are cruel? Where was your sympathy when the wolves were out for Athing?

Making the team and two sub 2:00s on this stage is nothing to scoff at. She's had a great year, has a nice shiny PR, and should have some more money flowing her way soon.

She did her best thats all that matters

she only made the olympic team because have of the field at the Olympic Trials got affected by the massive fall.

i don't think anyone was expecting her to be in the final.

I think Allie prefers just all chocolate cookies.

Eh, don’t be silly. Allie is a pure white angel that makes her special around here.
