Jenny, Shannon, and Brenda, the US has a very good team.

So happy for Brenda in that race, looking forward to 2020

@@liner011f7 She runs into other runners. Trips over her own legs.

@@liner011f7 this comment aged well

@@wyattjoshua05 what happened to Brenda?

nice bro

Are you going to do the world athletics championships ,is it next year because of the Olympic games ,I saw the stadium looks really nice

BlackTwinkInYourArea not good..

All these women are American. That's an odd thing to say.

@@ericcapostagno3271 Martinez is Mexican American.

I swear from your pic that you were Asian.

I'm not Mexican, but after the 800, I was cheering hard for Brenda also.

Yeah she deserved to lose.

Francois-Olivier Fortin non-intentional. #8 tripped and tried to regain her balance

@@nicksteve5392 Haha that was not a trip she pushed 9 then 8.... ;-)

@@nicksteve5392 Definately intentional Blind freddie can see that easily

That’s not what happened. #5 tried to go around Martinez but cut in too soon (watch where their feet are in the lane). Instead of putting out her hand and holding her line she moves to her left and bumps #8 into the other woman. It was a cascade of mistakes, but does not appear to be anything intentional. Nobody was disqualified.

hey Idiot! she got clipped twice in the race ! I've ran this event many times! I bet her legs are spiked up!

+cruz936 stop tripping and run

Now that I see the race more ... She's getting spiked from the other runners..like 4 times...NOT Her fault!

+cruz936 the last trip. No one touched her. On the back stretch.. No one else stumbled

What are you talking about ZaRocca? The video is clear on the matter. What is your agenda?

When I play back slowly, it looks like #8 is jostled by Martinez and pushed slightly in, causing her to clip the foot of the runner in front of her. That runner was knocked across the rail and lost some momentum. #8 was running a straight line just inside the first lane line. This kind of thing happens in a tight pack and is within the rules. The better tactical runners will position themselves to avoid this problem - often in the lead, at the back, or on the outside. If you are surrounded, you have to watch your left, your right, and avoid running into the person in front of you, which is pretty difficult.

no Martinez was not at fault at all, she was bullied unfairly all through the race. if she hadn't have been pushed about so much she would have had a even faster time. just shows her talent, hard work and determination

It looks like a few of the ladies aren't comfortable in a pack

Looked like Ephraimson pushed runners on her right and left 3:02

If it's a really close race they'll lean into the finish line, whoever has part of their body over first wins.

I ran with the redhead in high school. Her name is Amanda Eccleston. She's an inspiration.

Thx for the recap, we saw it ourselves

ivether she isfrom aplacecloseto me

Brenda was always prone to being off balance and getting tripped up. It happened to her a lot. Powerful runner though!

3xplosiv0 Actually, if you watch it real slowly, you'll see that it was Morgan Uciny that caused the entire incident. she was coming around Martinez, then crowded and cut Martinez, which caused Martinez to crowd into Efrainson's space. Efrainson just happened to be a young amateur who made a "rookie " error....which was to be completely "boxed in". once Uciny started crowding Martinez, it was like a domino effect...thus esulting with Efrainson trying to claim her space, which she was entitled to do

After what happened to Brenda in the 800, lots of people were pulling for her. Gutsy race.

I'm with you. Hell, she elbowed Martinez--it wasn't even subtle, and Martinez hadn't cut her off. And the contact caused the blonde on the inside to stumble and fall out of the race.

wow she really did punch her...not good sportsmanship

She’s unsportsmanlike

^Ignorant comment

She was involved in every stumble in this race. It’s definitely not a coincidence.

that was Brenda doing the pushing. She just can't control her body.

xyqueum We know now

@@connor7568 right, i was watching a ton of these races with her in them and she just didn’t perform well but i knew why

me too, i can't imagine how nervous I would be there too I think i would die lol... what was your time? i want to compare, mine was 6:33 for 1500... not that good but decent lol

Don't remember for sure, but I think my 1600 was about 7:10

oh that's really good. what year were you in and is it for girls or boys? I was a freshman and im a girl lol

I was 7th grade and a boy.

Oh that's really good thanks for sharing :)

No longer with Oregon project, She lives in New York now.

I have seen this with many athletes who get to a high level at a very young age.

She went from highschool athletics to running professionally. Should've went from collegiate running to professional, it caused her to burn out.

We know now

But Morgan was world number one, 2010, something to be proud of.

Poor girl was allmost tortured by her coach. He ruined her carrier.

@@grimlund I hope she can come back from it ,

@@redd605 Im not even american and Im not so fond in running but that girl really got a hold on me. That she had the guts and brain to just quit with Nike. And I also find her quite cute and sweet.

Because men run the 1600

alex goldberg no longer with Oregon project.

Alex Goldberg exactly

Alberto Salazar ruined her.

@@brownmamba6538 Or perhaps her body changed from age 17, i,e. gaining weight, like that's normal female development. She looked much heavier than her HS record videos. That's why high school freshman dominate state meets and hardly any seniors finish in the money.

@@charliewatkins4571 dude, read about what Alberto Salazar did to her. You clearly have no clue. She LOST weight during her time with him because he kept telling her she was too fat and she ended up with at least 5 broken bones and didn't have her period for 3 years due to him telling her to constantly lose weight even if it ruined her health.

lmao nahh

She was involved in every stumble in this race. It’s definitely not a coincidence.

for the important 3rd spot it was close. Jenny was never in danger.

John Rogan not needy just good tactics

First of all, Jenny, Shannon, and Brenda did not run PRs in this race. They are all sub-4 capable. And if you think it's pointless to go an Olympics to finish seventh, then you don't fully understand sports, commitment, or desire.

Also, they're not all doping. Some runners dope. Some.

+arudolph22 I'm just saying that none of them are going to medal, and I was being cheeky in the first place. It's was more of rhetorical question, considering how slow they ran. ..technique and form wise they have a long way to go, still very very sloppy.

+arudolph22 majority of them are...that's fact. Considering track and field has been tainted since the 1930s, most have to take something to get to the starting block. A lot of American runners dope, as well as East Africans, etc . American runners still have shit form and technique. It's disgusting to watch some of them run, because of the lack of efficient running. Rupp and Centrowitz are the only Americans with great efficient forms, so they will have a chance to medal. This 1500 was a horrible display of running, from the slow pace, to the constant tripping, and the weak finishes... Americans have to do better, because this isn't going to cut it.

PBs don´t matter at the olympics. Look at the 2012 olympics, Dibaba didn´t even make it through the rounds and they only ran 4:10 and slower in the final. Look at Leo Manzano, nothing to do with this conversation but he´s a clear example that PBs are a secondary thing when they have to go through rounds. He beat at least 3 or 4 sub 3:30 runners in the final and got a medal, and his PB is no faster than 3:30 I believe.

Well brindlebriar's rule of thumb only makes him look real dumb.

lmao I'm dead

I think even myself could outrun donald trump

😂😂😂😂

pffff...#wishyouwere

So where were you then Didnt see your name on the starting line-up
