Nobody deserves a medal in that 1500 womens race. Shite. 20 seconds slower than wr. What a mess.

Ye but when your country wins a gold and silver in that event, you really don't care. Like I'm sure you wouldn't care if Britain won a gold and silver.

Haven't you guys understood that Maryam Jamal from Bahrain went into the lead right from the start on purpose and tried to control the race with extremely slow pace in order to hold the 4 Turkish and Russian contenders behind her and win with her strong finish? Even though her tactic failed, this was clearly a tactical race, that's why it was so slow. The Turkish girls (#1 and 2 in Europe Championship) didn't fall for it.
