And that is good news, because ... ? (Serious question)

I dont think that Semenya will get the double gold and i still dont think that Semenya will do the 1500 m 100%, especially if it takes place before the 800 m. If this becomes another jogfest with a very fast 800, then Semenya would be the favorite, but if the girls go for sub 4 pace, Semenya shouldnt have a chance to win it. Muir, Hassan, Kipyegon and Dibaba all have a PB that is at least 5 seconds faster than that of Semenya.

Your sarcasm meter broke, it's not good news at all. 

 

I agree that a sub-4 pace should take away most of her chances, but the main problem is I doubt they'll go for a sub-4 pace...it's happened so often that fast athletes let good "sprinters" win by not running a high enough pace. Semenya's PB is slightly worrying btw, it's only 4:01 but she did so very soon after a fast 800 or 400 (not sure which) and while almost jogging...

 

I'm a bit hopeful because in the 800m she has shown some signs of being remotely beatable, so who knows.

I'm a bit hopeful because in the 800m she has shown some signs of being remotely beatable, so who knows. 

1) My theory is that she competes in the 1500 m to get beaten, so that her 800 m victory wont raise as many eyebrows ... at least thats what i hope. On the other hand she might think "IAAF will soon force me to take my pills again, so i will try to win as much as possible as long as i still can".

2) You should keep in mind that she was probably in a much better shape when she ran 4:01, i think she ran about 50.5 around the same time, this season she only did something like 51.5. I also dont think that its a coincidence that (almost) all the high-testosterone female runners in history specialized on the 800 m, in other events its probably harder for them to do well.

3) I dont really have any hate for her, although it irritates me that she apparently decided to piss off twice as many people by doing that double. You would hope that she was more "humble", understanding her position and that of all her competitors. Its up to IAAF to provide a level playing field for all the athletes, its not Semenyas fault that they dont do their job. All her competitors shouldnt aim their hate at her, this doesnt help anyone. I hope that some of them "grow some balls" and protest the race, by either not competing at all or by just standing still and letting Semenya run her own race, as soon as she finished the race, all the girls can battle it out. Everyone wants more fairness, but no one really wants to fight for it/give up something for it.

4) Its funny that almost all the 1500 m greats (Hassan, Muir, probably Dibaba) are also entered in the 5000 m, apparently they try to run from Semenya, sadly the best 800 m runners cant do the same, because none of them would have a shot at the 400 m. I think Kipyegon is the only one of the medal favorites who will only do the 1500, so she should be interested in running Semenya out of her shoes, which is probably good news for someone like Muir, because Kipyegon probably wont be able to sit and kick like she did in Rio. I think womens 1500 will be extremely fast, even if Semenya wont compete, Muir basically announced that she will go for a much faster pace, not allowing something like in Rio to happen again. I think there are currently at least 5 girls capable of sub 3:58, so this could really be good ...

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
