Just gotta love Felix's bronze! She likely thought about how hard it was to give birth to her daughter, and that gave her strength to close the last 100m well.
Having a child is a competitive advantage that only Allyson Felix has. Good for her! USA!

I genuinely LOVE the video call link - the Athlete Moment kiosk - at the side of the track.
Credit to the IOC or IAAF for setting that up. Nice touch
it is nice. i don't care to watch it, but it is just fantastic that they set that up for the athletes. Really top notch.
The issue isn't with Felix, it's with the NBC overkill. But they always have done it and always will. Nothing was worse than the Marion Jones fiasco.

Wrong : Sarah Slott Petersen won silver in the 400h in Rio after giving birth
you know how athletes are always looking for doubters to fuel them? The nike break up is the greatest thing that ever happened to her. That is what fueled 2 years of training that led to this.
Paul Chelimo has never had a child and his last 100 meters is the gutsiest looking finish I have ever seen.

Felix coming home with a medal in 5 straight Olympics. The mom narrative is overplayed, but she's got credentials.

Agree. But this is really for the casual fan that watches once in 4 years. It's annoying if you hear it 100x.
Anyways rooting hard for another mom to win the 1500!
First sub 3:50 for the WR?

Slim to none.
Download peacock app. Might need premium trial not sure
Hoping for a Kipyegon win, but I fear Hassan might be too 'well-fuelled'.
Muir for a gutsy bronze behind these two
I'm just rooting against the triple...that would be just weird and wrong.

Where are the Allyson Felix is doping threads?
35 years old
only .20 off her best ever run 6 years ago
Gave birth by C-section
Why no questions, why the pass?
Just asking.
Faith Kipyegon about to show the world how moms really do it.
First gold medal winning mom?? That comment is tongue in cheek, but would it be true?
