With everyone complaining about the commentators- he was just meaning that she didn’t have to run so fast (ie: exhaust herself) for the semifinal. She could’ve ran slower, still qualified for finals, and been less tired in the end. Which would give her less to recover from later, before finals. He’s not just saying she should’ve went slower because she’s “too fast” or whatever.

[@faisalsalam4161]

@@thomasanderson5004 I ran cross country, the 1600m, steeple chase, and the 800 all the time. The 800 race plan is way different. Probably the toughest race in track and field. The 400 is an all out sprint for 1 lap. For the 800, you're doing that twice. The 1600m is a distance race like in cross country. You pace yourself and decide when to bring out your speed.

[@jackmarston3979]

Ok guys, the commentator wasn't wrong. It's only the heats, 800m runners should never, and I repeat NEVER, run their 100% in the heats or even the semi-finals. To recover from an 800m race fully, you need at least 4 days which these athletes don't have. She could easily have qualified, so why does she need to run so fast? I agree that she doesn't want to take any chances but that doesn't mean that the commentator was wrong.

[@user-pb3kd1vg5n]

Bryan Gosling You’re right. As an 800m runner myself, our coach always told us to keep ourselves at a 50-75% and gradually increasing to a 100% at the last 100m or so. If I were in the commentary’s place, I would have wondered that aloud as well.

[@gardenhoes7588]

4 days is excessive lmao 😂😂

[@NinjaGeekNguyen]

Yeah honestly it's like the same way for the 2 and 1 mile race, you don't do a prelim race with all your might and have to race the finals in 2-4 days.

i'm speaking from NA also. point is, Semenya opens up with a 55 and runs a 10 second positive split. if you can't understand why this is bad, i'm done. i don't even think the finals opened up that fast.. it's simply 1) unnecessary, she could've won with less effort and 2) poor pacing is a sign of nervousness or simply lack of focus. at the highest level - aka the olympic level, this shouldn't be happening

[@kelseyciemny8101]

[@uhhuhlistenboimyfirstloves3809]

anyone who was confused with the commentators reaction to johnson montano’s race clearly has never run high level track. even at the high school level an 800 is run at least twice with heats and finals. at the olympic level, the athlete has to run the 800 a total of 3 times with heats, semis, and finals. all these runs happen within the span of a 3-4 days, allowing for barely any recovery. so it is completely irrational to run all out or incredibly quickly in the first heat because while it may qualify you for the semis, you will struggle in the semis and either not make the final or do poorly in the final.

[@miagabriel4329]

Yeah but they were clearly criticizing everybody had their ways they’d like to perform

[@cassiecreech134]

I actually love these guys doing the commentary. I can appreciate how they are bc I don't feel like they're biased. I actually cracked up when they were talking about how quickly Montano (I think I spelled her name correctly) ran her first lap in just a qualify race. If you follow Montano, she always runs this way.

[@jamikesphillips5222]

[@geronimovince2311]

It doesn’t make any logical sense anyways. They’re running at the Olympics, where they have the ability to run in the finals, which are only a few days after the first heats. Doesn’t make sense to overwork your body when you have to qualify and race 3 times at an elite level within a matter of days

[@clintstapleton2289]

For all you clowns saying “why are you getting on her for running fast” don’t understand that at this level you need to run a split and she did a 10 second split which is ridiculous

[@gaaraofthedesert6566]

What does that mean

[@christianhowe8961]

LeBeautiful James most pro 800 meter runners have a 1-2 second split differential between the two laps. If you positive split by 10 seconds(!!!), that just means you clearly do not know how to pace and you went full lactic, which is really stupid to do in a semifinal because it’ll be harder to recover.

[@shaniquabobbert6128]

For people who may not understand what a split differential is (maybe I'm just dumb but it took me a while) it's the time difference between the first and second lap

[@LuddyFish_]

As a swimmer, I agree with the commentators. Any distance event, you have to manage your speed wisely. There's a reason you don't see Usain Bolt running the 800m or longer. And when you're doing multiple races because of heats, semi-finals and finals, it becomes more critical to manage your speed so that you don't overwork yourself, unless you know you won't make it otherwise or know you'll fully recover in time, which is only the case when the next race happens the next day.

The commentators actually do know what they're talking about. She has two qualifying races before the third race which is the final. "Doing you best" in the qualifying rounds isn't a good strategy because you want energy left to win the final. Unless you know you arent fast enough to make the final that is.

Full credit to the Muslim lady for trying, but how is she in the olympics with times like that? *Edit* yeah I know that being Muslim doesn’t affect your ability to train, I simply say ‘Muslim lady’ as it’s the best way to describe her since she is only one with a Berka. And also yeah, I know Palestine is an occupied land the zionists are destroying that nation but it doesn’t negate the fact she is a slow runner and yet somehow is running in Olympic qualifying rounds, I admire her for trying under such stringent circumstances, thanks

actually it has nothing to do with islamic law, and more to do with the fact that she lives in an occupied land called palestine, where the occupiers limit the freedom of movement and many other aspects of life. basically, the talent pool in such a country will never reach its potential under occupation, and BTW say palestinian lady, not muslim lady, cheers and thanks for reading

For those who doesnt know, a heat is a qualifying race to decide who will race in the final event.

We can literally do anything we want as long as it's not haram (prostitution, selling drugs, mafia work, bartender, etc). Men aren't allowed to complain because it's their duty to provide all this for us. I feel bad so I am in university trying to become a forensic psychologist so I can help out my future husband financially as well, even though it's not my responsibility. Narrated Mu'awiyah al-Qushayri: I went to the Messenger of Allah and asked him: What do you say (command) about our wives? He replied: Give them food what you have for yourself, and clothe them by which you clothe yourself, and do not beat them, and do not revile them. Sahih Sunan Abi Dawud 2144 Prophet Muhammad saw also used to sew, milk goats, cook, and clean the house whenever he was free to and muslim husbands have to do this too. You can only hit a women in self defense or if she cheats on you for the third time and you can't bruise her or you'll get in trouble with the court as well. I have all my rights and I never needed to fight for it. You are right that I don't like Saudi government though. I lived in Malaysia for 14 years and 5 years in Qatar and loved my stay in both.

When you insult someone for running fast

[@WeAreBUNDESLIGA]

Rose Bascom You don't know anything about running, right😂

[@evab.6240]

It's the wrong strategy...... -_- you clearly have never ran. Somebody who isn't a sprinter should not sprint unless necessary because they will get tired too fast. 800m is too long to waste all your energy in the beginning by running so fast. You have to preserve some till the end.

[@t.j.7789]

Thank you. That is what I was assuming, ESPECIALLY when at the end she basically only beat the girl behind her by one foot, stride or whatever they call it. The first girl finished and I counted one and the girl was right there on two.

Alfie Brookes do you realize each country sends the best athletes they have to the olympics? Each country has different skilled athletes which you can look up each one's stats. They are proud to be running for their country, even if they don't win. It's called pride in reaching the olympics.

[@lukeoutloud2731]

I’m sorry... I understand the whole “breaking barriers” thing and I totally support that aspect of the games, but if you’re running a 2:45 you should not be in the Olympics.

[@growingbudz3902]

Well it's not even the semi-finals so I don't see what the problem is. This is just like a qualifying race that every country has a right to participate in if they qualified in their respective country. The Olympics were meant to showcase every countries best athletes in a particular field as well not just the fastest people in the world, that's why they have qualifying rounds. If you just want to see the fastest people then wait till the finals or stick to watching world championships and not the Olympics. Imagine if you applied the same logic towards Olympic Basketball, every year it'd be the US versus someone else, wouldn't really feel like a competition of all the countries. I do agree that as a country you might want to with hold someone from running as to not embarrass your country but at least she was actually trying and she was a serious athlete unlike that Elizabeth Swaney girl who actually shamefully embarrassed her country at the winter olympics for half pipe snowboarding by scamming her way in.

[@batteriesfx]
