Oh don't be ridiculous, NO ONE suggested on purpose that Rowbury really "dived". But it remains quite ludicrous that the IAAF seems to just advance anyone who trips without disqualifying anyone else- and this championships has seen that a few times and frankly, I can see a situation where less scrupulous athletes wanting to save energy DO throw themselves to the ground if this goes on...

I agree that the woman who caused the fall should be disqualified. Just like when someone changes lanes on the roads in an automobile and causes an accident, they will be considered at fault and required to suffer the consequences of their actions.

Gutsy race by Wurth Thomas. Dobriskey can thank her for being in her heat.

[jeremyp]

And Versus, in it's wisdom, decides to show the Men's 1100H Robles injury.

[jeremyp]

Yankettes! Can we duplicate the men and get 3 in the final?

[SQUACKEE]

Man, Jamal looks good! Ran 4:03 and wasnt even winded.

[3]

Ms. Alminova really had a tough tactical race, appearing to have run up, back, in, out and finally perhaps not a finals qualifier.

[Al in NYC]

Willard!

[jeremyp]

Holy Sheet we made 3 in the final in spite of awful tactics, running on the inside down that back staright!! Oyve.

[pauluk63]

this is WIDE open

Langat and Alminova OUT! I thought she had it in the bag!!

[SQUACKEE]

It is wide open for the bronze, i think!

[pauluk63]

The BBC didnt even mention Alminova going out, annoying!

they also have pretty much declared Dobriskey the winner, ignoring the americans, Jamal and Burka!

[knockout]

Some careless running in that one... Rowbury nearly tripping up the pole in the homestraight then what appeared like a shoulder barge dropping Langat

[smithg]

wow good run for USA. even if we dont get a medal, Im not sure when the last time we had 3 in the final

[jeremyp]

Willard!

Who lucked out by having inside lane left open for her. Do not try this in the final!
