Valby let her go. Valby didn’t try to kick because she knew she didn’t have to. The only objective was to reach the final. Objective met.
It was obvious she could not have kept up if she wanted to and don’t pretend otherwise. You’ll be proven wrong soon enough. Also I called this weeks ago. She doesn’t know how to race! This is a whole ‘nother level, she just learned.
I debated this with a Valby Fan Boy. These aren't college women she's running against. They've run in World and Olympics finals against Ethiopians and Kenyan and Hassan and aren't going to be intiimidated by anything Valby throws down. She's going up against women who are paid to run and have a massive training background behind them...not some cross training type of background. When Valby feels them breathing down her neck the pressure alone will be very tough to deal with, because she has no choice but to lead and they don't, it will be a DL race for them with Valby as the pacesetter. We'll see, if she hangs in there I'll acknowledge her.
