Sucks for her.
Sucks for her.
She needs to petition to run a time trial on the warmup track when the actual race is going on.
She's kidding right!? I want to feel for the gal, but one too many falls in championship races... Its kinda turning into a joke

this.
or, she could move to road 5ks or something....but the current state is just leaving me wondering how she ever got any results worth having to begin with.
She could have a balance problem in her inner ears. Wouldn't be the first person to have this problem.

I think there could be something to this.

It's a brain disorder called "giving up."
Its definitely something between the outer ears.

Seriously doubt that.
I wonder if there is something unique about her stride that increases probability of her being tripped, like a long stride that she needs to shorten when running in a pack.
It looks like she suddenly adds a bit more extension to her stride as she starts to stretch out and that puts her feet back into the stride range of the runner behind her.
Maybe a little bit of a SFH situation?
It would not be unheard of if this turned out to be a neuropsychiatric issue. Don't confuse this with "head case" in the SFH sense. Sometimes, when situations become sufficiently emotionally charged in the context of sustained physical effort, people can lose their balance and worse. It happened to Shalane Flanagan when she was in high school and has befallen some others too. I wouldn't say it's likely, but it's looking like more than just a run of shitty luck at this point. And why couldn't it have happened to a turd like Jacobs instead of Uceny?
I've known chicks who like to go down, but this is ridiculous
