Rebecca Cheptegei, 44th in the Paris Olympics marathon, was covered in gasoline and set on fire by her partner/husband/father of their children in Kenya, the umpteenth case of violence between 'partners' there...

 

She's apparently in bad condition in the hospital.

Damn, how can someone be that horrible to do something as shitty as that 

Prayers up for her, hoping for as quick of as a recovery as possible

Tatyana Tomashova is disqualified from 2012 to 2015. It means  Shannon Rowbury should get a bronze Olympic medal in women's 1500 after she finished sixth initially

As per rules, to be eligible for wild card entry in diamond league, you need to participate and have a result in one of the diamond leagues in the current season.

 

But Sydney McLaughlin Levrone doesn't fulfil the criteria but still received wild card.

Seems to me SML wouldn't be getting this special treatment if she were from another country.
