WTF is Montano doing on the start line?!

You have a champion who seemed bitter that she had to fight so hard in her preliminary round while the others coasted. Did B-mart's heat get stacked because AM's seed time artificially altered the distribution of athletes across the heats? that's the only reason I can think that she was so upset. Otherwise, she's being incredibly petty. Compare that to Ajee's reaction, which was light spirited and supportive.

I think it's really funny that everyone thinks that Martinez's disapproval was because her heat was stacked or because Montano didn't show "respect." Maybe Martinez didn't like it because she was worried about the risk to the fetus?

Good for her.

This is why Martinez has a world champ medal and Mantano doesn't. One of them is a CHAMPION and the other pulls publicity stunts.

Apart from this (if you choose to call it a publicity stunt), what other stunts has Mantano been a part of??

Martinez did a good job of taking the high road

I just now watched the video wondering what Martinez had said, and all she said was that she didn't want to talk about it.

Huh, people are upset at that?

Montano was an idiot to run in a high pressure race while pregnant.

Her bottoms always ride up, big deal. She looked and ran great. She didn't show anymore than the lady high jumpers and vaulters. Watch some races on the Euro circuit. They're not prudish about some bottom showing.

1. Big publicity for her sponsor.

2. Extra (mainstream) publicity for USATF.

3. Did not prevent any contender from competing.

4. Did not interfere with the race.

5. Connects an elite athlete with countless women of all abilities.

6. 2:32. Damn.

This person gets it.

She's 7 and a half months pregnant and she raced. She finished with a time of 2:32.

At 48 and 180lbs, this is much faster than I could run now...

Yea, 2:32 is pretty fast for a woman that pregnant. It's an impressive feat.

I struggle to run that fast for 800 as a M55 ag runner. She had an extra person on board!

Meh she can't compete with Miley Cyrus. She needs to get a sponsor that'll give her a uniform that fits. She ain't making any money with that look at least compared to Montano 's prudish outfit right!

What was stupid or dangerous about it? Women run pregnant all the time. And I wouldn't call this a "high pressure race." She was out having fun with no expectations other than to not get lapped. Do you think she was not cleared by her doctor first?

Is running 7.5 months pregnant more or less challenging than running with a 40lb. weight vest? Some maths guy needs to run a conversion on this 2:32... we're easily looking at 1:57 basic!

TOP maths guys only, please.

Exactly. Sure Alysia generates some pub, but is this really the pub we want for our sport? Where good, serious competition is second fiddle to pregnant jogging.

"Good, serious competition," as in some guy jogging at his half marathon pace for 27 minutes then kicking to a 10,000 "win" 1:30 slower than his PR?

Yeah, I can see why ESPN would want to put that on the front page.

Why did you put win in quotes?

She deserves the spot because she is the defending USA Champion and has a much faster pr than the other athlete who would have been allowed in. She has the qualifying time, Pr and title to choose whether she wants to run regardless of what all these lovers think of her. Props to running 2 32 8 months pregnant and compete ting in the USA Championships. She also got track and field on ESPN. Can't wait to see her back on the track in her top form.

Have you ever run a race that you knew you would not win? Why did you do it? Maybe because you enjoy it? Did you feel you needed to justify the decision to strangers? She had the qualifying standards and wanted to run. If that bothers someone, so what?

What would Letsrunners be saying if Rupp ran a race with a physical condition that precluded him from running faster that 33 minutes in the 10K? Amazing how accepting this group can be with athletes they haven't decided to blast endlessly.

First time in many years that USA Today has written a word about Running…

And watch next year we will have to highest views in a long time to see AM's comeback after pregnancy. No we will see the end result slap al the haters right in the mouth.

I agree, there will be a bunch of new viewers to watch this lady race again, oh and for her 6th title at that.
