NY Times claims Shalane Flanagan slowed down for Amy Cragg at 2016 US Olympic Marathon Trials
In reality, the opposite happened. I just called them. Hopefully they print a correction tomorrow.
Opposite = Amy slowed down for Shalane? Or Shalane sped up to leave Amy behind?
Assuming the former, who cares which way around it was?
It just shows how fixed & rigged running really is at the top level. (And not just women, think of Galen waiting around for Mo when his shoe fell off)

I think Galen may have been aided in pacing off Meb at the 2016 Olympic Trials. Meb may have been an unwitting co-conspirator by showing Galen where he should run. To be on the safe side, both should be DQ'd. Also, most of the field in that race were pacing and drafting off each other.
I just called the USATF. Hopefully they print a correction tomorrow.

You've kept your commentary short. Wise move.
Less opportunity to confuse your theirs, with theres and they're.
Also, nice attempt at click bait, knowing this would incite your Incel following to argue over "fake news".
so much ado about nothing?
Shalane absolutely DID slow for Amy PRECISELY as the article described it and in the manner it was described in?
Fantastic rebuttal OP.
Yes there is additional information that was omitted [Shalane had a near meltdown last mile and a half or so, and Amy had to ditch her], but that doesn't change the accuracy of the information delivered.
If OP wants to publish what he believes to be a more complete story I'm sure he's more welcome, but obviously no correction in the original story is necessary.
Real fake news:
Brosjo dad was qualified to be the head of our national security and not just the prep school and frat sidekick to a moron.
The brosjo were admitted to colleges on their own merits.
The brosjo have a utility of English grammar and spelling beyond that of a particularly dim witted kindergartner immigrant from Mexico.
The brosjo are not fake journalists.
I trust everything the NYT prints many times more than anything Rojo writes, thinks or states. Rojo should leave all opinions to adults with working brains and moral compasses.
