What a fail by Huddle.
What a fail by Huddle.
Huddle almost Devestated
Did Huddle have a complete mental breakdown? What was she thinking? It will be interesting to hear her interview.

Huddle is in!
so the tactic work!
That was a Todd Williams-esque performance.
I think they are saying Huddle made it?
this sprinter "sit and kick" in a 5000m is nonsense
glad Molly "graduated" to long distance HM and full marathon, though the kids are still trying to out sprint her to the finish line, they don't quite have the energy left then
"no hiding" Molly, it's why we love you
Huddle had a 4 second lead at 1600 and 7 second lead at 3200.

I'm a huge proponent of athletes working together to qualify in prelims so they can fight it out in the final.

False
She was worried about catching the Makwala bug by hanging out too close to the pack

Of course? This was known when she finished by all but you idiots here.

The tactic did work!...which is why she did it.
no way would she have qualified trying to sit and kick at 5000m ...she is a marathon runner now, so she does not have that finish speed like she used to
She went out fast to get a fast time and not leaving to the end.
She went for it....and it work!
Gotta give Huddle credit. She wanted 15:00 because that historically gets through and she didn't have confidence in her kick. She just missed the time goal but gets through.
We see too many runners who won't create situations that benefit them because they are afraid to stick their nose in the wind. Good for her for showing some guts.
Two prelims run at a good pace. That was great.
Smart go by Huddle to ensure she didn't get left out with a pure kicker's race.
Houlihan runs a six-second PR and outleans three other runners for the auto.
And you need to live your own life. She can do whatever she wants. Heck a fine ass girl running 15 minutes? I would settle with that.
