Jordan Hasay will medal in Rio 10k

Is there a 14th place aluminum medal they're handing out in Rio?

I didn't know that she listens to heavy metal. That's cool.

Hey, you're on to something with that. They should hand out medals to 4th place and lower, using less valuable metals! Let's see: Copper, Nickel, Zinc, Aluminum, Titanium, Steel for 4th through 9th places (not necessarily in the order these metals are listed.)

Ahhh, yes, the good 'ol Rio, South Dakota 10K. Couldn't agree more!

Does she have a detector?

I am calling it now. She is recovered, fit, and ready to metal.

The title of the thread was initially misspelled by the OP as "metal"

Sorry, OP here. I meant to say she would mettle in Rio.

Will her girl Alexi be shouting from the track in Rio?

Oops, I meant to say she would meddle in Rio.

Maybe that's why Papas got her Greek on, so she can pace JH during the 10,000.Alexi- Greece didn't send me here to start the race, they sent me to help Jordan finish.

Also, why did LRC pick this one thread (out of the multitude) to change a spelling error in the title?

Jordan is not so far away that I would say it is impossible, especially for a bronze; however, it is highly unlikely. The problem for Jordan is athletes like Cheruiyot, Burka, Defar, Cherono and T' Dibaba can run her 10K PR pace and sprint the last 400 at around 400m PR. In fact, if Bawcom, Huddle, Flanagan, Goucher, Infeld, Seidel and Conley, etc., all decide to contest the 10K, Jordan is going to be in for dog fight just to make the team. With that said, there is almost no one who I would like to see medal more than Jordan.

Btw, there should be a rule that unless you have medaled at a previous global championship, won DL meet or even at national championship, etc., winning an Olympic medal should not be discussed.

She won't even make the team...

The Olympic Trials will be in Indianapolis July 1 through July 10. What will the weather be like then? I suppose the heat factor will dictate a slow pace and it will be the speedsters with the advantage.

She might if she makes the team. Pretty sure the 9 African women ahead of her in Rio will probably be doping. Hasay is one of the few Clean athletes left in the sport.

It's funny because Jordan is a country too

She's a real cutie pie.

Don't meddle with her mettle to win a metal medal in Rio.

This. Can this site even make an effort to contain its disdain for anything related to Oregon, NOP, and the like?
