Yes!!! The race I have been waiting for this whole championship!!
will wurth-thomas take it out? i don't see her holding off rodriguez and jamal.
They just flashed to Shannon Rowbury's HS coach in the stands during the introductions.
I am wondering about Willard/Rowbury's kick..
rowbury to medal after Jamal is dq'd.
No, spanish chick DQed, not Jamal. She clearly caused Burka to fall. Sad, too because she could have medaled without cheating. She was strong.
Rowbury Bronze.
Willard looked like shit the whole race. CWT somehow found herself at the back with 300 to go. That's not like her.
LOTS of pushing the whole race. That was some dirty shit going on. Everyone was pushing and cutting off. The russian bulldozed her way through and shoved CWT out of the way. Burka was getting cut off earlier in the race. Rowbury had to push to keep from getting run into the infield. Crazy ass race.
What's ironic is that the other Ethiopian clearly was messing with Jamal in the pack early in the race in an attempt to help Burka...
Wonder where Barringer would have finished. Hard to say her Pre performance would be out of the medals. Hope she improves her technique or switches events soon.
