now thats track and field you know they gave it all they had and I love it. Martinez is a 800 runner as we and she ran in Carlsbad this year. I am a fan good luck young lady.
How much "claiming space" is within the rules? #8 just throws an elbow at 3:04 as she tries to blast between two runners, Martinez one of them. She ends up getting 6th, but it's so blatant i wonder if she was taking revenge or something.
When I play back slowly, it looks like #8 is jostled by Martinez and pushed slightly in, causing her to clip the foot of the runner in front of her. That runner was knocked across the rail and lost some momentum. #8 was running a straight line just inside the first lane line. This kind of thing happens in a tight pack and is within the rules. The better tactical runners will position themselves to avoid this problem - often in the lead, at the back, or on the outside. If you are surrounded, you have to watch your left, your right, and avoid running into the person in front of you, which is pretty difficult.
no Martinez was not at fault at all, she was bullied unfairly all through the race. if she hadn't have been pushed about so much she would have had a even faster time. just shows her talent, hard work and determination
That’s not what happened. #5 tried to go around Martinez but cut in too soon (watch where their feet are in the lane). Instead of putting out her hand and holding her line she moves to her left and bumps #8 into the other woman. It was a cascade of mistakes, but does not appear to be anything intentional. Nobody was disqualified.
3xplosiv0 Actually, if you watch it real slowly, you'll see that it was Morgan Uciny that caused the entire incident. she was coming around Martinez, then crowded and cut Martinez, which caused Martinez to crowd into Efrainson's space. Efrainson just happened to be a young amateur who made a "rookie " error....which was to be completely "boxed in". once Uciny started crowding Martinez, it was like a domino effect...thus esulting with Efrainson trying to claim her space, which she was entitled to do
Those two girls who look like they were going for third really pushed near the end, heck they literally both fell once they crossed the finish line. O-O
The Hispanic woman that placed 3rd had a hard race, Had she started up front she may have won. She got caught in 3 incidents which really zap your strength
Don't count Brenda Martinez out of any race... what a woman !!! BTW had it not been for some elbows and a few trips she would have been the first place. it's difficult to regain momentum after stumbling ...well deserved !
What's going on...I saw at least four (4) "trip-steps" in which Brenda made contact with other runners? Is this issues of pace, lack of staggering, numbers, etc?
I am happy for Brenda Martinez after the 800 but I am wondering what happened to Mary Kane. To me it looked like she got off to a bad start and seemed to run a bad tactical race. It reminds me of Coe in the 1980 800 final. I am also so sad for Morgan Uceny; I was definitely pulling for her.
Instant karma for #8. She knocks one girl out of the race while simultaneously pushing Brenda off balance. Brenda passes #8 coming out of the final turn and #8 drops to 6th. Too bad the top 4 couldn't qualify. I'd love to see Eccleston in the Olympics.
I'm with you. Hell, she elbowed Martinez--it wasn't even subtle, and Martinez hadn't cut her off. And the contact caused the blonde on the inside to stumble and fall out of the race.
me too, i can't imagine how nervous I would be there too I think i would die lol... what was your time? i want to compare, mine was 6:33 for 1500... not that good but decent lol
Jenny Simpson after Rowbury set the American Record: "First of all, Shannon and I haven't been going back and forth. Shannon hasn't beaten me in years. This is the first time she's beaten me in recent history."
@@redd605 Im not even american and Im not so fond in running but that girl really got a hold on me. That she had the guts and brain to just quit with Nike. And I also find her quite cute and sweet.
this is what the trials look like without 4 announcers trying to talk over each other with ridiculous "stories" about how many disadvantages each runner had to overcome to even be there
@@brownmamba6538 Or perhaps her body changed from age 17, i,e. gaining weight, like that's normal female development. She looked much heavier than her HS record videos. That's why high school freshman dominate state meets and hardly any seniors finish in the money.
@@charliewatkins4571 dude, read about what Alberto Salazar did to her. You clearly have no clue. She LOST weight during her time with him because he kept telling her she was too fat and she ended up with at least 5 broken bones and didn't have her period for 3 years due to him telling her to constantly lose weight even if it ruined her health.
4:04? that's not going to cut it, and they were running all out. Dibaba ran a 3:59 the other day while being out of form, with here PB being 3:50(WR). Hassan's PB is 3:56, who runs for the Netherlands....should these gals even go to rio just to get 5th, 6th or 7th Place? They're all doping, so the biggest difference is the training and technique. Americans lack true butt kicking, where their kicks don't even come close to being near their butts. ..at 300 meters that kick has to come in strong to finish fast.
First of all, Jenny, Shannon, and Brenda did not run PRs in this race. They are all sub-4 capable. And if you think it's pointless to go an Olympics to finish seventh, then you don't fully understand sports, commitment, or desire.
+arudolph22 I'm just saying that none of them are going to medal, and I was being cheeky in the first place. It's was more of rhetorical question, considering how slow they ran. ..technique and form wise they have a long way to go, still very very sloppy.
+arudolph22 majority of them are...that's fact. Considering track and field has been tainted since the 1930s, most have to take something to get to the starting block. A lot of American runners dope, as well as East Africans, etc . American runners still have shit form and technique. It's disgusting to watch some of them run, because of the lack of efficient running. Rupp and Centrowitz are the only Americans with great efficient forms, so they will have a chance to medal. This 1500 was a horrible display of running, from the slow pace, to the constant tripping, and the weak finishes... Americans have to do better, because this isn't going to cut it.
PBs don´t matter at the olympics. Look at the 2012 olympics, Dibaba didn´t even make it through the rounds and they only ran 4:10 and slower in the final. Look at Leo Manzano, nothing to do with this conversation but he´s a clear example that PBs are a secondary thing when they have to go through rounds. He beat at least 3 or 4 sub 3:30 runners in the final and got a medal, and his PB is no faster than 3:30 I believe.
Brenda Martinez has been elbowed, kicked so many times, I think they were intentional. Anyways, the US T&F Olympic Committee should switch Kate Grace and Brenda Martinez' events for a realistic medal goals. Just my opinion.
I haven't seen this yet, but my rule of thumb is, "the darker the skin, the more likely the win." Let's see if it works out... 3rd out of 12, not bad. She could have probably gotten a suntan and come in first.
Martinez was such a great 800 & 1500 runner, but she always seemed to have trouble some sort of trouble (running four wide, getting tripped up, etc). Compare that to Jenny Simpson and Shannon Rowbury who always seemed to be in the right place and in control.
That's me ringing the bell!
nice bro
Are you going to do the world athletics championships ,is it next year because of the Olympic games ,I saw the stadium looks really nice

great job Martinez1!!!!!! Rancho Cucamonga!!!!!!!!!! WHAT HEART.....
Wow! A double dive! That was a great finish.
Martinez is amazing! After all she has been through and having such a hard time finding places to train, she truly deserves it!!! So happy for her.
Martinez wanted that so badly after the 800 lol, & thank god she did it
Jenny, Shannon, and Brenda, the US has a very good team.
So happy for Brenda in that race, looking forward to 2020

Looked like Ephraimson pushed runners on her right and left 3:02

I had the absolute honor to meet Brenda and Jenny and I can't be more thrilled to see them on the way to Rio! These women are my inspiration
Brenda Martinez always gives us the best finishes

hey Idiot! she got clipped twice in the race ! I've ran this event many times! I bet her legs are spiked up!
+cruz936 stop tripping and run
Now that I see the race more ... She's getting spiked from the other runners..like 4 times...NOT Her fault!
+cruz936 the last trip. No one touched her. On the back stretch.. No one else stumbled
What are you talking about ZaRocca? The video is clear on the matter. What is your agenda?
Brenda Martinez is an outstanding mid-distance runner! Very tactical runner in her best races!

If it's a really close race they'll lean into the finish line, whoever has part of their body over first wins.

There were at least 5 times contact was made that disrupted the pace and EACH time Brenda Martinez was involved. What is the deal?

I love me some Brenda!!
After what happened to Brenda in the 800, lots of people were pulling for her. Gutsy race.
Photo finish in what way?
Someone pointed out that Martinez is constantly tripping and elbowing people. I had to check for myself.
She was involved in every stumble in this race. It’s definitely not a coincidence.
had to sprawl to qualify....needs to see a shrink!
1600s (We do 1600 rather than 1500) always make me so nervous. I always think I'm too slow, even though I always seem to do fine.

I was 7th grade and a boy.
Oh that's really good thanks for sharing :)
superb. what a finish ?
Mary Cain's progress has been disappointing. Has she been injured recently?
No longer with Oregon project, She lives in New York now.
I have seen this with many athletes who get to a high level at a very young age.
She went from highschool athletics to running professionally. Should've went from collegiate running to professional, it caused her to burn out.
We know now
5 pushed 9 who went off balance and pushed #8 who pushed #7 who moved out of the race.
that was Brenda doing the pushing. She just can't control her body.
What photo finish? 3rd was Close but no need for photo finish.
Jenny Simpson after Rowbury set the American Record: "First of all, Shannon and I haven't been going back and forth. Shannon hasn't beaten me in years. This is the first time she's beaten me in recent history."
Why do you guys have literally every race except for the men's 1500?
Because men run the 1600
3:00 watch the girl in between Brenda and the girl in the white push both of them aggressively. Pushed the girl in white out
