Damning Evidence that Montano did not cause Martinez' trip

Yeah if they let the slowest runner go, then Montano would have made it.

Stop trying to blame Martinez.

The idiot who ran into her was behind her.

Ok this is very easy to see in the picture. Both Montano and Martinez are planted on their right foot, meaning they are running in almost the same cadence. The distance and angle between each runners right foot would basically be the same the stride before and after of their left foot. There is no possible way both runner left foot can land in the same exact place. Rogers' right foot is planted the opposit stride cadence or Martinez and directly in the middle of Martinez' right foots patches it would swing forward. Thus being the object that Martinez kicked as she brought her leg forward which was BEHIND her when it made contact this explaining Martinez' quote. Case Closed!

Another point to add: both Rogers and Martinez pass Montano on either side. So naturally explains Martinez would be on the outside of lane one or on the line. But Rogers in this picture is shown in the middle of lane one or even towards the outside half of lane one. Rogers' pass put her on the rail but she moved out off the rail after passing, closing the space they made to go pass Montano. So it could be argued Rogers is at fault for her movement of the rail and into Martinez.

So you could say Rogers tried to block Montano by closing the gap after she passed but by doing it on the turn she floats into Martinez. Intent to impede so DQ Rogers and re run 800m final.

Williams and Grace were lucky to make the team. Looking at the 200-150m left Williams was out the back and Grace was boxed.

She was acting out, the same as she did with her brutalized run down the stretch.

Montano was blocked by Martinez, who was right in front of her.

It's fortunate that anyone finished.

So can we all agree that Martinez CAUSES falls and is NOT the victim?

Brenda is FAT

No. That would would need a stupid agreement.

Seriously. That's all I thought about/commented on over the course of nearly the entire race today. Brenda causes mayhem to all those around her. She's flailing everywhere, elbowing everyone, and has no control of her extremities. She's actually dangerous to run against lately. Poor Lauren Johnson was running a heck of a race and it was spoiled by yet another "unlucky accident" involving Brenda. It's even more than simply being a common denominator: she is the instigator and culprit. I'm years past feeling bad for her.
