If not for that, & trials held last week as originally scheduled, it's likely some of the Kenyans would have turned up in Stockholm...

This is about as exciting as True winning the NYC Diamond League 5k, which means it's not really exciting at all. This was a horrible field, Mackey was easily the second or third best on paper and while she had a great race, lets not delude ourselves by thinking she beat a legit, world-class field.
There were D-level Ethiopians, zero Kenyans, no A-level Americans, all of which means she did indeed win but faced one of the worst 3k/5k fields you'll ever see assembled for a Diamond League meet. The woman she outkicked from UAE is a 15:12/4:05 runners, so Mackey should have won.
Hey f@g, don't hate. A wins a win. She ran a great race, I'm guessing at least several minutes under your PR most likely as well.
