She's just 19-years-old so interesting to see how she develops from here.

Re: Brussels DL w800:

she's the dark horse of this event. in london, i thought, i don't know if she'll finish first or last. she couldda won the whole thing, but she got 7th...

Re: Brussels DL w800:

A very interesting race: very slow second 200, then Niyonsaba negative-split it. She must have run close to 28.0 last 200 (have to check her splits out on video). SAvinova was about 59.1 at 400, in good position at 600, but raced-out, apparently. Brenda Martinez set another PB.

My mistake: Niyonsaba did NOT negative split; she led at 400 in 57.03, but she ran a very slow 3rd 200, then finished in 28.25! She was so strong in the homestretch!

Yes, her 2nd PB in 4(?)days.

I still think of her as a miler and I still think her best event is/should be the 1500. But I'm less certain of that than I used to be.

Re: Brussels DL w800:

Martinez has quietly turned into a quality runner, with several sub-2 marks late in the season.
