      • I am confused. The article says Saltpeter was leading. I could swear Hassan had passed her and was still in front.

        Ironically, it was all for naught. Saltpeter was DQ'ed for violating 163.5 (c) by breaking in from her lane too early.

      • Hilarious.

        Anyone got vid.

        This woman can't count laps, and thinks that Kenya and Israel are in Europe, apparently.

        What a chump. I can't stop lolling.

      • She thought she won, although she crossed the line behind Hassan?

      • Come on. It's easier to miscount 12 1/2 than 3 3/4.

      • Israel will be gutted.

        1) Import a Kenyan - check
        2) Load em up with EPO - check
        3) Teach them how to count - Erm Elijah, weren't you supposed to do this? Damn it.

        Yeah that article is wrong. Others (correctly) state she was celebrating silver.

        She's not too bright.

        Here’s a better article:

        https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.rte.ie/amp/984644/

        But, I mean, if she thought she’d already finished the race, maybe she also thought that she won despite being behind. 🤔

      • I'll never understand runners who miscount laps, even though good runners do it. Seriously, WTF are you thinking?

        I almost stole some points in a close dual meet 3200 because the lap counters were off and the good runners on the other team didn't catch on until I was outkicking them.

        My daughter was leading our SCHOOLS XC race this year and went off course. I'm like how the eff do you get lost on your own course? The course you've run every year since 7th grade? Fortunately, she still had time to correct and finish in 1st.

      • Strange. I've never seen anyone stop a lap early, thinking they finished second (or further back).

      • Good.

        Kenyans are not Israeli and Israel is not in Europe.

        E N D OF STORY.

        Why has this meet even been getting so much press? Euro champs? BFD. Yes Jakob was impressive and Asher Smith too (really, uh, really, impressive) but can we stop the CJ over this talent deprived meet?

        yeah McColgan had to weave around her since she was basically at a stop-maybe she had earplugs and didn't hear the bell....

      • You kids should have seen the '87 10 000 in Rome. Only the winner knew he was done. Everyone else including the officials were just guessing.

        The placed runners kicked twice.
