Pre-op or post-op?
So she’s disqualified because she had to run for 12 minutes from her designated starting location before starting the course?
Whew... for a moment I thought it was because a transgendered male-turned-female runner beat her to it..
She’s disqualified because rules are rules. If she thought she could qualify, she should have talked to the organizers to get moved to the A corral. I have sympathy for her, but it was her responsibility to make that trial work, and all runners know how long it takes to cross the starting line from the various corrals in a large race.
I checked out her photo at the ling. Definitely female, but somebody get that girl a cheeseburger!
“Gregoire did not belong in the B corral.”
I didn’t click link to read more of article, but it seems she didn’t belong in the corral she was in???
Did she choose the “B” or was she put in “B” by some one that messed things up for her?
I guess it is sad. But they all admit that if she did go to the trials, it would just be for experience. She is not going to make the olympics; she was only the 21st fastest female in this particular event.
If she was dead set on getting to the olympic trials, she needed to get into some qualifying race somewhere, to set a time that would put her in the A corral. She did not do that, and while it seems she could have qualified for the trials, I don’t think she is getting cheated.
