This 5K is like Mary Decker Zola Budd 1984. Almost a trip and fight with 2 laps to go.

At least we can stay within a few seconds of the Africans now. Growing up our runners weren't even in the picture during the final lap.

That wasn't on the last lap was it? That famous image of MDS is still burned into my memory.

I know this is the Olympics and it's supposed to be normal.

But I can't help but think about how outreous it is to run a 5k in 15 minutes. My pb for the 5k is 29 minutes, and I was damn proud of myself for that because I used every ounce of energy I had.

No. Not on last lap. Barefoot Zola swung the leg a few laps earlier. I was 13 and a houseful of kids screamed bullshite in front of our parents

Chinese chick that just got silver in discus looks incredibly regular compared the other medalists.

That seems like bullshite. They'd have to DQ the Ethiopian too. Ideally, none of them.

I remember her from 2020. Gotta love Allman dominating as a slim attractive woman against a bunch of women that look like ogres lol.

Allman is an Amazon Princess. Her first throw in the prelims was further than this. What a champ and that ponytail braid is so cute.

It had seemed way too crowded for my comfort. The super heavy favorite, now DQ'd. I would have to see slow mo footage to see who's at fault

If that stands, it's one of the worst calls I can remember. Kipyegon never deviated at all.

So the web is showing that they penalized all but 1 African. Is that right??? Cheetah- Netherlands- Italy are showing as the medal stand.
