After Isi's sensational comeback in Zurich, who else that either flopped horribly or just plain lost the the WC's needs to find some kind of redemption before the end of the season???
My number one pick would be Lashinda who was solidly beaten in the 400h despite going in as a heavy favourite. Melaine was magnificent but it was plain to see that Demus' last 2 hurdles went tits up and something shonky happened around hurdle 7 as well (I only saw it live in stadium so haven't had the chance to study in detail. Did she go out too fast?)
It's one thing to lose because the other person is superior but much worse to do so when you know you have't run to the best of your capabilities. Many were predicting a Lashinda WR and whilst she ran well it would have been a MUCH closer race without those mistakes and we may have even had a different result.
Can she do an Isi and stamp her authority by seasons end???
Others that could do with a good last few meets include....
Mesrat - To lose one was unlikely to lose twice was unimaginable!!! :shock: A 5k world record is on order.
Natalia Rogrigues - Her DQ was entirely justified (What was she thinking???) But it was hard not to feel some sympathy for the disconsolate figure who crossed the finish line on the biggest moment of her life knowing it wasn't going to last. And even more sympathy has to go to Burka who very well may have won without the fall (Jamal deffo wasn't going to off that pace with those kickers waiting). Don't know what the Weltaklasse organisers were thinking but someone needs to put on a Natalia, Geleta, Maryam, Lisa etc re-run immediately.
Gerd - 3rd who'd a thunk it???
Naide - That's 2 champs in a row she's cocked up. I'd like to at least see a big PB by the end of the year.
Who else needs to redeem themselves????
