Donna MacFarlane feels a bit shafted by this year:s rankings:
MacFarlane, ranked No. 9 by the magazine last year, was left off the list this year, despite having a more consistent international season.
Her year included two major wins at grand prix races in Lucerne and Doha, and a second-place finish in the biggest Golden League race of the season -- the Bislett Games in Oslo.
It appears MacFarlane was penalised for her disastrous Osaka world championships campaign, where she failed to finish the heat after her shoe was ripped off by the spikes of a competitor in the first 200m of the race.
