This is no surprise. Shalane is training for a marathon. Also, at 33 years of age, is no longer a spring chicken.
Jo Pavey is 40, mother of 2, has just won the bronze in CG 5000m with a time better "the little girl's" PB.

Make sure she brings her stash to the party.
Loving the photo of Meb and Joanie comforting 'our' Shalane while Gemma looks on as if to say 'F@(€ you bitch' FFS
About 2:14 into the interview.

Is this from the Letsrun video interview? I watched it several times trying to get to this supposed part, but couldn't find it. Anyone with a time stamp link? Etc. I really want to hear her say that

I like the photo at the line where shalane realizes that she didn't fvck sh-t up! as much as Gemma fvcked sh-t up!
Gemma Steele has had quite a career. Most likely the most accomplished British women's cross country runner since Paula. A little searching will speak to your questions. Steele has had injuries in the past and unfortunately was injured during the Commonwealth Games qualifying period.

Shalane's half-marathon split from Boston is faster than Steel's PB in an open half-marathon for Pete's sake.
Dumb cherrypicked stat. Shalane's half-marathon split at Boston is faster than Shalane's OWN open half-marathon PB.
YOOOOOWWWWZZZZEEEERRRR!
Pigtails and sticking your tongue out are cute when you're... A Little Girl.
Here is the way I saw the end of the women's race:

As a side note, Meb (besides Joanie of course) was the only runner who stayed and high-fived some of the other elites as they crossed the line. Classy guy.

Is this thread for real? Anywhere outside the US, Shalane Flanagan is seen as a bit of an also ran who had one major championship minor placing a while back in a tactical race. Hardly renders her unbeatable for the rest of her career. Gemma Steel is a well known road and cross country runner who has been in the form of her life for the past 3 years or so. She has been a consistent top placer in the World and European Cross Countries but the UK track scene is so competitive right now in women's middle distance running, with her relative lack of track background and being prone to a certain type of injury, I would say she has chosen to focus on road racing. She is really well known in the UK and Europe and has consistently been beating many top athletes over here for several years.
And remember a lot of that road racing is done on hilly roads in cold windy conditions. Not Boston.
since when does 3rd get 30:22 in a TACTICAL race? wasn't tactical

Joanie is glaring at Gemma in that picture. The expressions of Flanagan and Steele in that series are priceless.

All championship races are tactical
The true essence of this thread is the fact that Jordan is on her way up and Shalane is on her way down. The cycle of life.

Yeah, in five or ten years, Jordan should only be 30 seconds behind the 40 year old Shalane. For now, we should all be happy that Jordan didn't get lapped or DFL.

Hasay is not an attractive woman by any means. Fanboys who find pre-pubescent girls attractive (no boobs, no ass, never cut hair), will undoubtedly find Jordan "hot". No real man would. She looks like she belongs in grade school.
Hasay rocks and you all know it! SERIOUSLY jealous people here. Hahahaha!
