USC's 3rd leg isn't getting the credit she deserves. She closed that gap alot to put the 4th leg in a good position to win and she was just phenomenal running that last leg
@tianajoiner78525 жыл бұрын
dbeezy The 3rd leg may have closed the gap but the anchor leg for USC was far from being in a “good position to win” when she started her 400, especially after that terrible handoff

This is so much bigger than this race. Rarely do you see a comeback story. Last year Kendall was in the same position and unfortunately she came up short. I know she was hard on herself about it coming to a big stage like this and coming short. She trained to be ready this time and it all worked out. There was nothing the girl from Purdue could do

Walking down a 20-40+ meter deficit in a 400 meter leg is absolutely nuts, especially at this level. Her split was 50.01... which was only 1.75 seconds off of Olympic record pace... and 2.4 seconds off of world record pace. Given the stumble at the beginning, this was an exceptional run for the USC anchor leg. (And all of the other ladies of course.)

I've run my fair share of 400s in track and my gut tells me that she simply ran out of gas rather than slowed down intentionally. In these races, if you go out too hard, you run out of steam full-boat at the end. The Purdue runner was just spent.
