Laura Muir pushed Jenny Simpson twice! One of those times pretty hard

Are you kidding? Simpson cut in front of her.

Watch 900m-1000m and come back to the thread.

I actually saw the opposite, Jennifer Simpson pushing Laura making her have to move around. And i was listenning to IAAF live feed... I did not notice any comment.

Laura fights hard and deserves credit for running so brave.

I already reported this thread to the admin.

Admin, are you guys sleeping??

Typical Euro-weenie attitude.

Picks a fight, gets owned, then cries for the Americans to bail him out.

If you listen to Jenny's post race interviews it sounds like the Swedish media is kind of going after Jenny because I guess there was contact between her and Bahta. Rough race for everybody but Jenny gets it done!

Stay classy.

The problem with Laura's game is she tends to kick too early or gets impatient.

The problem with Laura Muir is she sucks ass

The problem is she was unlucky. Jenny Simpson was lucky that she had a clear run to the finish, same with that other bloke. Laura was unlucky because she finished fourth.

And they were unnecessary pushes.

Even the IAAF broadcast commentator mentioned it.

Not nice, Laura.

Muir will be in trouble in 2 years when Alexa Efraimson is fit enough to make the 1500 final...A couple of pushes like that and Alexa will send Muir off the track on a stretcher.

Jenny's "luck" to get a path to silver on the inside of Hassan was one ingredient--as a veteran, she knew that a place might well open up as the runners ahead converged and Hassan tired. But the main ingredient was that she had more in the last 100m than anyone else showed (who ever knows how much Semenya has in the tank?). Simpson pushed to stay within range around a lap to go, held back to be ready to go when others were tiring, got pushed in tight quarters by Muir--and an extra push after Simpson was clear--and left a lot in the tank--clearly she went hard just a bit late to get gold.

Bottom line, the best tactician in the women's 1500m that we have ever had and in an era of extraordinary competition, she has won gold, silver, silver, and bronze since 2011.

Muir was pushing, but she does run all out. Muir and Hassan set up the great finish. For both of them, at their moment of maximum pain, they have to see Jenny pass on the left and Caster on the right, and in a flash of a second, no medals.

Yep, just watch Jenny's leg turnover compared to the others in that last 75m. She can change gears like no other. She's a boss

4th and only 9/100s off a medal after coming off an injury hardly "sucks ass".

hard worker and racer will definitely get there.

I have seen Caster in every major race, and that is the first time I've seen a maxed-out grimace like that, punctuated by a bag-o-bricks fall at the line.

And she appears to be taking some sort of powerful corticosteroid. Her cheeks and the rest of her body don't match.

Hassan drifting almost to lane 2 and giving space for Simpson to pass inside 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.

Why do women do this so much?

Whoa, whoa, buddy, I was watching the IAAF live feed--I don't know if it's different from what you were listening to, but the announcer didn't say Muir pushed Simpson, he said Muir SHOVED Simpson. I don't know who it is, Steve Cram or Ovett or some other British legend Steve, but he definitely saw the same thing as the OP.

I didn't see any wrongdoing, looked fine to me. But the IAAF commentators most definitely commented.
