This isn't supposed to be a fast track yet everyone is easily going under the previous WR.

I think it just shows the changes in technology and investment of the event. Plus its a relatively new event, its only been a 4km race since after the London Olympics.

Making the bronze medal final in this field is perhaps the biggest reward. We had to beat out some great teams to get there and the US had their sights on the gold. We finished 4th at the last several World Championships.

Unfortunately I feel like this was the best result that was available baring a crash.

Very good job especially considering her injury.  But I don't think enough for the podium.

Simone Biles opts to do the Balance Beam.  Prediction: Biles gets bronze with Black just behind by 0.01 points for 4th.  

 

PROVE ME WRONG!

I was close to my prediction.  Knew it right when Biles said she was going to do the beam.
