Didn't see her at start with other 2
Fiona O'Keeffe has explained everything that went down that resulted in her dropping out of the Olympic marathon here:
-
153

She's there but unfortunately looks injured limping at the back
693 -
wow, what an awful decision. 100m into the race and she's jogging DFL. Should have subbed in the alternate! She's in Paris!!
3694 -
Should have given up her spot
3156 -
made her run...shameful.

Why TF did both she and USATF decide to even start? Get a sub in there who would have given it a legitimate crack. Brett Robbo in Aus subbed out for Andy.

She's jogging like 4:30's KMs. So dumb

Silly AmericansHorrible decision by bad coaches. She can’t run if she won’t eat.

Sinead Diver out too within first 1km. Should have gotten Lisa Weightman to run chief.

No longer a fan. Same as Des in London. Both selfish.

Aussie Diver finished after 4 minutes

Sinead Diver drops out within the 1st km. Get absolutely effed. Lisa
Weightman ran 1:10 half unpaced today. So stupid. SHAME ON YOU SINEAD

Yes, didn’t Jess McClain fly to Paris last minute? What was the point if O’Keefe is going to jog it?

Why do they let her start when so clearly she is injured? There are more qualified athletes right?
Sinead Diver also already pulled out from Aus.
Why do selection rules not say if you are clearly injured we reserve the right to remove you and replace?
1341 -
not only is there another qualified athlete, USATF literally flew her to Paris for explicitly this reason
2140 -
You have to wonder when USATF knew and why they didn’t substitute a healthy replacement. A. Cragg and NC Puma have managed her right into the ditch, great job.
1351 -
She should get on the line and just run it anyway.
618 -
is she actually dropped out or is she gonna jog 26.2 miles
110 -
Unbelievable! And conversely the men’s marathon winner was a late substitute. I was frustrated when Des pulled this and to see it even more explicitly yet again is infuriating.

There was no one ready to go in Des's case. Either running the 10,000 or injured. Would have to go down to 6th, 7th at the trials (Can't remember) and they certainly wouldn't have been waiting for the call.
