When did YOU last fall w 150 to go in YOUR final Olympic trials final , that you can speak w experience to bag on this athlete !!!!!

Alisa thank you for your passion !!!

Alysia Montano has emotional problems right now and she won't face the truth. I feel sad for her and people around her.

Everyone knows she caused Brenda to fall. However, we also know she didn't do it on purpose. It's just the sad facts of racing sometimes. Maybe Alysia will come to terms with this down the line when she is more stable.

I feel bad for Brenda, to my eyes she looked pretty strong and was starting to make her move. Montano obviously ran a very poor race from every aspect.

As far as her reaction, Me tinks she protesteth too much. Instead of beating herself up for what was obvious to most, she went to the extreme in the other direction.

I don't blame her for not acknowledging that she messed up bad. That's a very bitter pill to swallow.

what a moroon

The article by Scott Reid from the OC Register indicated that Montano tried to contact Brenda over the phone, but Brenda didn't see any point in communicating with Alysia at this time. Probably a smart move by Brenda, given how emotional Alysia is and not a whole lot of "upside" to any kind of conversation in the first place.

I was there and I've run many 800's. Montana is a powder keg all the time. She has poor tactics and little high level experience in recent months. Took out too hard as usual. Stiff breeze on the backstretch and her less than stellar conditioning caught up to her. She ran wide lane one from 400 to 600 so added distance to her run but she was just trying to block the whole field. Arrogant fool. Once they passed, she exacted her frustration with a desperate but calculated burst k owing full well what she was doing and would have finished last anyway. Grounds for a personal assault case but construed as a sporting accident. She's a jerk because she couldn't just take the idea losing with dignity. That's the truth!!!

If I'm BMart, I wouldn't take a call until Montano publicly apologizes and sets the record straight first. Besides, she has the 1500 to stay focused on this week so that she can hopefully still qualify for Rio.

Can someone fill me in....what happened? I know about the 800m fall but what did she do after

There was a fall!?

I glanced at the results and just assumed that she ran the race while pregnant again, possibly with twins, as that might explain the slower time.

Yeah and when she did (run 2:32 pregnant last year) she took a spot from someone else. Why would someone 8 months pregnant run in a country's championship race anyway?

Could you make any more nonsense?

2018 USA's: Montano, now running in shoulder pads and pop warner helmet, 9 months pregnant, breaks her water and drops her next kid right on the track. Runs with her baby being dragged behind her, still connected by cord, bouncing between lane one and the infield, getting bucked back onto the track after hitting multiple infield furniture.

then, Nick Symmonds starts pummeling the new born kid, with leftover 2016 boxes of dried, fish jerky, Run Gum. Baby then breaks free from mom\'s placental chains, walks off the track, and says, \"this woman is CUR-RAZY, Let\'s go fishing Nick.....\"

Montano covers the last 20 meters in 2 hours, 3 minutes. praying, crying, and worshiping with English Gardner for 45 minutes, who just ran in a pope robe and dunce cap

Actually, considering strong runners all around her at that point and her freak out later on, she might have done it on purpose.

That's exactly what I saw as well.

She was shot and dead at that point, exemplified by how slow her last 100 eventually was.

This is just immature. Ludlow and Martinez were mature about it and effectively declined to comment. Montaño said things that were clearly not true by looking at the footage. Lost all credibility. Another sort of Slaney and Budd!

I actually agree with that assessment. She said afterwards that she had so much power and energy left without going lactic...but watching it she was getting pooped out the back, it was a desperate move on her part.

Also, it was a joke that in interviews she blames it all on doping allegations. Past Olympics and recent busts had nothing to do with a fall...one she most likely caused

we shouldnt criticize alysia too much - she clearly had a mental breakdown

You've been sitting at your computer all morning just waiting to be triggered, haven't you?

Nothing in the list you quoted was racist. At all.

Do you put "politically correct, virtual signaling social justice warrior" on your resume?

Amy Winehouse wasn't Jewish. Go figure. Somebody tell her face.

Stick to comments about track. Do not bring God into this. He is busy writing up Ryan Hall's weight lifting program.
