I started a thread after us champs, but after today i would loved to hear people's logic. To beat that quality of a field and snag a silver is simply unbelievable. Debate on, but there is only one right answer.

Medals are what matters, and she's got a pile of them.
Sooner or later she'll also have a steeplechase medal from 09.
I was just thinking the same...
Killer confidence smart racer, fierce kick
4 global medals
There are a few Diamond races left for Jenny to chase the AR. I think she really wanted that record in the race where she lost the shoe.
100% agreed. Time and time again, she has proven herself on the world stage. Amazing how many people counted her out of the medals, and once again she showed them what a masterful racer she is.
Uh, it's Centro and it's not even close.
Ryan is second
Jenny is the top female in the US, without dispute.

If you can't even spell the guy's name correctly (Ryun), you're immediately disqualified.

Centro is the discussion, until one of the these people wins Olympic gold!
Ryan kinda got jobbed that the Olympics were in Mexico City.
Simpson has one global championship and she didn't win today. If she is so great why doesn't she win more ???? Exactly
Jenny Simpson?

Internet spelling trolls are awesome, thanks !
Webb > Centro? What drugs are you on?
I love her, she is gorgeous.

Yes. 3~24.
But Simpson is a tremendous athlete. She doesn't give a rip about what anybody including rowejo have to say, she gets out and does it, confidently and with precision. Always each season a best performance in the major champs final. She ought to coach a lot of the other US athletes in this skill.
