I trusted that she wasn’t doping until this performance. Unrealistic given prior races she had in the last week. How much of a PB is that? Give me a break.
Fastest top 6 since that fateful day in 1997 in Shanghai
Is 3:51.9 really that unexpected her? She set the mile WR months ago!
Houlihan won a medal today. She's just gonna have to wait 10 years to get it.
Didn't look easy to me.

Why would you trust that anyone isn’t doping?
3:51 wire to wire. Give her some male pacers to block the wind the whole way and she's probably more like 3:46. Getting AWFULLY close to sub-4:00 mile territory. Cheating or not that would be wild to see.
Not much of a PR considering her 4:12 mile.
Joe fucking KOVACS.
KOVACS LAST THROW 22.91 CR. 1st by 1 cm over Walsh. 3rd BEST ALL TIME

not unexpected, especially considering who her coach is.

I'm SOOO glad the finally caught Salazar. This is getting ridiculous.
That was ridiculous quite a ways back.
Comedy race
Cute race from Hassan, almost broke a sweat.
It didn't look easy. Actually before the race I would have been less surprised by 3:51-52 for Hassan (her mile WR ist equivalent to 3:53) than by 3:54 for Tsegay and 3:56 for Debues-Stafford. I mean, Hassan ran 3:56 4 years ago. What did Houlihan and GDS run back then and how much did they improve without NOP rocket fuel?
So overall the race for me makes Hassan LESS suspicious, or almost everyone in the top 6 as suspicious as she is.
CROUSER a 22.90 ties WALSH but has a better 2nd throw. WALSH last throw of night, only has the one good throw
Hassan is doping on her own and Salazar is providing her additional grey area benefits. Equals this performance. Remember, Hassan was an also-ran like Mo Farah and suddenly becomes unreal around age 30.
1 CM seperate the top 3!
