Shalane is a class act, and her recent comments on Gwen Jorgensen demonstrate it.

That is a gross mischaracterization and intellectually dishonest. She was asked how she felt about the Galen's Chicago performance and said that it is hard to get excited about performances from a team under investigation. Would you have her lie, instead?

Reposting because there is an inordinate amount of people who are taking Flanagan's response to the question about Rupp's Chicago performance out of context, or downright lying about what she said.

The irony is you are distorting what was said. Hasay has never been implicated in ANY doping scandal—not one But Shalane implied she was dirty by association with zero proof. Secondly people in her group have appeared on Doping list. So by her logic we should question her NYCM performance.

She’s not going to fall in love with you n

Shalane just wants in on the attention and this how she can do it. Get the tri moms all interested in her twitter posts.

I really hope you are trolling, because otherwise, how you got this out of her incredibly gracious comments is beyond me. Sad.

Shalane is a back stabber. There was no need to question if Rupp's win was legit , especially when one of her teammate was pegged as "likely doping , by USDA . One of the most un-gracious people in US Track is Shalane .

How am I distorting what is said?

Do you think saying “Shalane accused Galen and Jordan of cheating” is distortion?

Even Gwen getting center stage with Galen after Chicago...strange. One is the best US marathoner in years; the other is a top-level club runner at this point. Where are the brave journalists calling out the absurdity and the gross misallocation of coverage? Who is raising the point that perhaps Sarah Crouch, or even Sarah Sellers, could due with some of this media attention (and the sponsorship opportunities that would come with it). Despite the number of journalists who like to b*tch about Nike, Nike will get its narrative in unchallenged, I guess.

Especially this. she wasn't even the first American woman to cross the line.

yea cuz no one covered jordan playing baseball, or covered the disaster that was tim tebow as a backup quaterback.

Shalane's comment about NOP after Rupp Chicago victory............ “And I think it’s really important to consider who you associate with. We don’t get to choose our parents, but we certainly get to choose our friends and our coaches and who we want to include in our circle and put our faith and our trust in. I think it’s really important to think about who you include in your professional circle in this sport, and I think that who you choose to allow in says a lot about you.”...........

Yet her Steeple chasing team mate shows up as "likely doping " in the same USADA report.

With 15:15 5K speed Gwen could easily be under 2:30 within months and possibly a threat at the trials.

"Easily"? Under the circumstances, this doesn't seem like the right word. I

Keitany had cramps? 95% of the runners get cramps in the marathon pee brain.

well she had her chance at 2:30 and blew it stupid.

Winning a WMM brings out the worst in both of these women. They both can’t admit the truth. Shalane won because Keitany had cramps. If they raced 100 times this would happen maybe twice. Des only won because of the awful conditions. Tiki proved that in Chicago this past weekend. They were both at the right place at the right time. LUCKY. This is not some surge in American women marathoning.

I am cheering for a DNF from Shalane followed by a retirement announcement. Then the same from Des in April in Boston.

What we need in athletics is fewer class acts and more bad blood, feuds and trash talk. It has worked for MMA. Ethiopians hate Laura Muir for her throwing shade on Genzebe Dibaba. South Africans went all in on Linsey Sharp after she whinged about Caster Semenya. I, as a Kenyan, now hate Emma Coburn and can't wait to see Beatrice smash her to oblivion

She unexpectedly got her period after not having it for months. Made her sluggish.

The run section on s triathlon is after the swim and bike ride which bring it more in the endurance line if a marathon.

Any indication that she has real speed for the track?

In every one of your examples the bad blood is from one country to another. Shalane and Des have both thrown shade against there own country and even there own sponsor. That plays much different.

I’ve lost respect for both of them and I’m not alone.

I agree with your statement in general except for this. No transgender person should be allowed to compete with women.

This wasn't whinging.

Not surprised that someone who feels that way wouldn’t know the difference between “their” and “there” as their intellect is clearly lacking.

Although English is not my first language, you are correct. I used the word there incorrectly.

I found it interesting that you choose to attack my spelling rather than my content. I must assume you agree with my content.

what is amazing to me is i think shalane managed to have her infamous camel toe picture erased from the internet - that is classy work - and impressive

I do not. You have no content, just misplaced complaints.

I could never run 15:15, but that could have been the effects of the post-birth bounce. All of my mom friends experienced it. It could also explain her relative decline since then.

I don’t know if these comments are so classy if she didn’t share them with Gwen first. If she did, sorry I missed it.

I like the Gwen story a lot, as in a way she’s the accidental Olympic gold medalist and could probably be a movie someday. (Who would you cast?) But rushing to the marathon ... I’m surprised Jerry encouraged it, but hey, sometimes we all fly too close to the sun ... and the story isn’t over yet, for sure.
