She showed great poise about the situation. Not panicing mid-race, alerting Shalane of the situation then slowing working her way back into the race. Great of Shalane to take control of the race for those few laps to allow Lisa to catch up
Stupid Nike laces never stay tied, even when double knotted. Why can't shoe companies come up with a lace that doesn't come undone?
New Balances makes a great lace that never comes undone.

Too bad it's attached to a NB shoe! But nice work by Uhl. I thought I saw her 50m back in one shot after a commercial, but then she was back in the group in the next live shot.
I used to put a piece of athletic tape over the laces and that solved the problem. That was the norm back in the 70s & 80s. How hard is that? And it doesn't even have to cover the brand logo so the shoe sponsor won't have an issue with it.
And she's cute.

No kidding, it was absurd. I think they cut away from the race for a bit, and when they came back all of a sudden Lisa was 50 meters off the back of the pack. And there was absolutely zero acknowledgement of this or any explanation. I mean they should do so for anyone but especially for one of the favorites who has the Olympic A standard. Is there seriously no one even watching the race live to see what happens during a commercial/other break? Or did they see it but just not care?

Yeah but by doing that they screwed over Natosha Rogers. I'm glad Natosha beat them.
Maybe they didn't care enough to try to outkick her cuz they know they're going to the Olympics

They sell them separately too.
people need to learn to tie their shoes. ive never had my laces come undone in training or a race. if your shoe comes untied its your fault. it doesnt "show poise" or "experience". it shows youre a toddler who cant tie your shoe
