I noticed the same. She doesn't care about winning the race, just hung off Simpson's back and out kicked her. Exactly why she will never win anything significant.

Just shows how wrong Muir got the tactics in Rio. Shame if she had 3.55 form in her legs.
She ran a horrible race in Rio.
But this at least partially makes up for it.

Honestly kind of pathetic how Rowbury is always on Simpsons nuts.... just like following her around the track, never showing initiative like Jenny does. Her whole goal is to try and nip her at the line every time, Jenny's Shadow.

I completely agree. Jenny goes after it. Her focus is on world class competition while Shannon just wants to beat JBS. She did. Yay for her. 4th place. She didn't even try for 3rd just happy to beat her nemesis.

Rowbury was drafting off of Simpson the whole way as usual ....
No she wasn't.

I want to give Shannon the benefit of the doubt and think she's always just running her own race and sometimes Jenny overextends herself, but this shit happens EVERY time.
I think it's not so much that she shadows Jenny as that she doesn't have the confidence to pass Jenny before the final 100m. It's like Jenny is her mental barrier. Maybe she could have ran 3:56 again today, we'll never know.

Muir should have took the pace on in the olympic final.This shows how badly she misjudged that race.
Muir should have "taken" the pace.
Rowbury should be following Muir.
