Sucks to get beat by the EPO queen (Yegorova).

Great run. Regina knew Suzy would have kicked her many-looking ass which explains why she didn't run.

Interesting to see Olga Yegorova back up front. I'm sure Paula Radcliffe won't be a big fan of this outcome.

It seems the 1500m times are collectively fast this season. Many gals flirting around 4:00-4:02. Is 4:00 such a big barrier psychologically for these gals?

Fast is not 4:00-4:02, fast is 3:57-3:58. Suzy is on course to really fast in August.

Suzy has talent and will almost always run fast in non-round races.

But in championship meets, where tactics matter most, THAT'S when she'll bite the dust, excuse in hand.

She doesn't have the ability to accelerate all that quickly which hurts her in more tactical races.

suzy could do better in men's races all she has to do is run topless

Yeah, strange, isn't it. She still seems to be running well, even with the stepped-up EPO testing. Moroccans have been busted left and right, and now even a Kenyan. Yet OY still motors on, somehow.

Anyone yet willing to entertain the possibility that she was screwed by the French and their mysterious single-sample test in 2000?

Paula the Crusader owes her an apology.

Make that 2001.

Her agent is Jos..aka king of the dopers. Run's in US get's her ass kicked again at nationals, takes a break, goes to europe, runs faster...Go figure!

Sure. Based on you've just told me, I figure she probably needed a break. But that's just idle speculation.

Suzy rocks!!!
