+1 Rowbury is sooooo annoying!! 3 major medals>AR record that won't last
Jenny is annoying & overdramatic but seems like a good person. Shannon is annoying but seems like a a good person.
Alexa Efraimson is not annoying and seems awesome and will take the AR in 3-4yrs here, with hopefully some medals to go with it.

You can put on your tinted glasses and make proclamations I am sure, but their progressions are actually pretty similar.
Anyone get Kejelcha's split for his last 400m?

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 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."
When Shannon had the lead on lap one at the Olympics, she looked lost, 76 sec first 400, terrible. In Paris, they both ran good times, I expect Jenny will cover Muir's move next race, now that Muir has proven that she is a legit finisher.
Yeah gotta agree. For sure there is a rivalry here which is a very good thing for the usual staid ho humness of T & F. We should be reveling in the rivalry, not dissing it.
Maybe we help the rivalry by fanning the flames here now and then.
Go Jenny, you're the best!!
I remember the Rowbury 2 lane drift to block Molly Huddle once. I don't remember any incidents blocking Jenny. As the thread notes, Shannon usually likes to come from behind to pass Jenny.

Kipketer in 1:42.88!! Damn fine finish.
this was the at worst, = fastest finish ever in a "fast" 800 meaning, 1'45+ or 1'44+ or 1'43+ or 1'42+
Alf clocked
12.2
for last 100, including some serious extra distance run of ~ 8m !!! on all of bends & lack of drafting as so wide so much of race !!
only many ever who may have clocked as fast as 12.2 in a fast 800 was Wlson in a 52.0 / 50.7 for 1'42.77 in monaco-'97
not even the Big-Man has clocked 12.2 finish in a fast 800 to my knowledge
