Actually, it should.

Nope. Luckily we have wiser heads making the calls than yourself.

--Except that's not what happened.

Brenda clipped Ajee,

Causing Brenda to change course

And contact Rogers,

Causing Brenda to slow / cartwheel

Causing Montano to run up Brenda's backside

Causing Montano to somersault...

Etc.

Ajee said she was clipped from behind...only person there to do

it... Brenda.

All of it RULED INCIDENTAL.

Wow, you're even more delusional than Montano. Have you even looked at the video or are you just trolling? In your view, is there anyone in the race Martinez did not make contact with?

I guess Ajee is delusional for saying she was clipped from behind.

Do you even read or watch the athlete interviews?????

135.5/6/7

Eventually some photo's may surface to show this.

Martiniz's left leg seems to hit Ajee slightly, but enough to force Brenda to stutter step and flail because of her speed.

Ajee's shoulders seem fine, there's a slight twist in her hip as she runs out of the contact.

--Atleast it APPEARS that way when someone tells you to focus on the possibility of Brenda contacting Ajee from behind as BM was moving up.

I wonder if everyone was expecting it to be foot contact, spiking...when it looks like Brenda's thigh grazes Ajee's leg, but not at a time or in a way that Ajee could not recover from it -- Ajee said she was clipped from behind...what she hasn't said is where on her leg or body she was clipped.

And, y'know, Ajee is like the last person to have a reason to make that up at the time she was interviewed, quoted.

Watch it full screen, and blow it up some...there's a slight rotation in Ajee's hips, luckily for her, it didn't make her trip herself.

Runnings "Zapruder" film is needed....

With three other runners stumbling and falling behind her, ya think Ajee might have felt contact? Doesn't mean that what she felt was the cause. At all.

4/7 angles show Martinez' left leg swing outwards as it comes forward and hit Rogers' planted right calf. Martinez stumbles in front of an accelerating Montaño causing her to fall. The initial contact was incidental, all runners kept to their line. It was just the backside mechanics of Martinez' left leg that caused the chain of events https://twitter.com/mountainpsg/status/750863552534110212

But I don't like Montano and want to blame it on her!

You can see Rogers' right leg was in the path of Martinez' left leg coming forward. Rogers and Martinez are extremely close. Montano is to the right and behind nowhere near Martinez' left leg. Rogers would not have a spike mark because the top of Martinez' left shoe hits the back or Rogers' right calf

You must be Russian.

Martinez threw her foot backward under Montano's shoe, and at the same time clipped both Wilson and Rogers.

Neither Wilson nor Rogers were affected, but Martinez flew up in the air.

The most egregious act was throwing her foot backward and aggressively slamming it under Montano's shoe, thus Martinez causing herself to stumble.

But even so she kept doing it, and threw her foot back again and again right under Montano's shoe, in fact Martinez kept repeating this several times, in fact she did it again, several times. Then she did it again.

Then Martinez threw her body in front of Montano's hands, tried to grab Montano's delicate arms with her back, and with impeccable timing, intentionally stumbled out of the way, which caused Montano to flip right over on the track and land on her face.

Therefore this was all the fault of Martinez.

I didn't even know this was still being debated. We talked to Hawi Keflezighi (Martinez's agent) as well as Josh Cox (Grace's agent). They both said the same thing.

Rogers moved out and nicked Martinez leg at the top of it's backswing which caused Martinez to lose her balance and do a cartwheel and slow down which resulted in Montano (whow said she had purposedly slowed down from 200 to 150 but was planning on going hard the last 150) plowing into her behind.

Cox told me they had like 6 different camera angles on it in the camera tent and that's what happened.

That's now three agents who have said that Montano was not at fault. Grace, Martinez and Montano.

I'm watching the Joe Vigil 800/1500 lecture from the USATF Super Clinic. In his introductory remarks Joe says Brenda and Rogers had contact and that led to everything else. He said it was nobody's fault.

Montano was behind Wilson, and Martinez was beside her.

You've already posted this 23 times, on various different threads.

And you're still completely wrong, as the photo shows the exact opposite of what you keep posting.

Hint: the photo is not going to change.

Since she's the guilty one.
