Strange race by Healy. In a decent position and then switched to the inside and got blocked in. Never really gave herself a chance.

Sophie O'Sullivan has the rarest looking style. Almost looks like she's race walking rather than running.

Nobody near the level of Hunter Bell.

Yeah O'Sullivan has a strange running style but it seems effective enough. Tactically Healy struggled again too. Hopefully that m11 track club the bbc ones never shut up about will start working with her on her tactical nous.

Frankly another tactical shocker from Healy. She's good enough to get a medal there.

I'm always wary of athletes who at the finishing line look like they could run another two laps at the same pace.

Yeah it's frustrating to see someone of that ability underachieving which I think she is. I don't want to be too harsh on her and hope she'll learn but there is a real world class runner in there if only she believed it.

English being one of them, proper fresh faced afterwards
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

She looked very light weight and got bumped and barged repeatedly which must really break your stride.  Maybe she'd be better sitting at the back out of trouble and then go for it with X hundred metres to go?
