Audrey is a real medal threat obviously. This is a performance which warrants more attention. Audrey is 21 years old and doing well.

If she can stay on her feet through the rounds and make it to the final then sure she’s a medal threat.

Have you seen her race? She bounces round all over the place and never looks comfortable. Her tactics and execution pale next to the likes of Duguma and GHB. She will probably make the final but race her semi too fast, leaving her unlikely to challenge for the rostrum even if GHB isn't there.

She is 21 years old. Give her a break. She may break through in terms of her tactics. At 21 most of us were happy to be NCAA All-Americans. She is doing great.

She is a big girl and she emphasizes deep breathing during a race. That's partially why she sometimes looks uncomfortable. Every time the camera zooms in she is the one taking the exaggerated deep breaths.
But it seems to work for her. The personal best has dropped steadily since she started doing that.
Erratic from race to race. I'd have a difficult time expecting Werro to medal right now at global level.

Why do women look so slow and sluggish running 1:56 - 2:00? Knees barely lifting, arms flailing all over...

Ya, you're right. They should all run more like Hoey. He's smooth speed personified.... /s

Indeed, and now she has run 1:55.91.
