As Rojo said on the other thread, a bit anticlimactic when you lose by more than 30 seconds.
Two ARs but zero Olympic medals.
Who you rather be Simpson (world champ, olympic medallist) or Rowbury (zero Olympic medals)? Answer: Simpson.
Rowbury will get a medal for 2012 once confirmed dopers are dq'ed
This is what's known as an "oops run." For further clarification, refer to Mo Farah's 2013 Monaco race.

Rowbury could receive up to 2 Olympic medals eventually.

Yeah, when Simpson is busted, Rowbury will get her bronze.
You people are nuts. When Centro wins Okynpic and WC medals, you say that means nothing because his times aren't fast. Then Rowbury runs a tremendous time, and you poo poo it because she doesn't have medals.
The anti-Nike stuff has gotten out of hand. Do you guys hate Webb, Solinsky, Ritz as much as Rowbury?

Mathematics is not your profession - correct?
Of course Simpson isn't going to change places with her but it's still pretty cool to be the 1500 and 5000 record holder at the same time.
I think Mary Slaney had both records at once. Anyone else?
Shannon ran a smart race and was helped by Ayana not going out crazy fast the first mile.
BLACK PAGE FOR ROWBURY OR I WILL CRY SEXISM!
Wow, she gets another American record, huge PR and you have to go right to dissing her? Didn't take much time.
An AR is an AR, whether you think it was the right kind of AR or not.
Maybe you should chilax, its not a zero sum world out there.

Roidbury is back on the juice again! She'll be stripped of any and all medals and records once she is busted. Can't wait for that to happen to all of the NOP athletes. Enjoy it while it lasts. It's only a matter of time. How they all live with themselves is beyond me. But then cheaters don't have conscience do they or they wouldn't cheat in the first place. Their fans are in the same boat they are - right and wrong do not matter to you all either. Shame on all of you!
Rowbury has been a world class runner for 10 years and tested dozens of times each year. It is not unreasonable to see her run this time given her consistent mile performances over the years and heavier training volume over the last two years under Salazar. Why waste your time watching track events if you think everyone is doping?

She lost by 20 seconds but I understand. It seemed like an eternity just sitting there watching.

The NOP haters and Simpson fans aren't very bright so it's best to just ignore their nonsensical thoughts.
It's just hard to be excited about anybody with Salazar. Maybe they're clean?even if they are they all seem like sellout robots
But if Jager gets the record I'll lose my mind.

Idiot comment of the week, hope you were drunk when you wrote this!
wooooo HOOOOOO 6TH PLACE!
I agree that medals are more impressive than times and records.
But when you scroll through the posts on this board, there is a real double standard that people like to use to take athletes down a peg after they've done something remarkable: with a runner like Rowbury, someone swoops in to say "well, no medals," while with a runner like Centro, someone swoops in to say "well, it was a slow time," or "well, he got beat in Monaco that time."
What gives?
