She's gonna catch flack but it's a fault of the media hype machine. She's literally the 4th fastest girl in the race. As long as Pearson, Wells, and Harper didn't screw up, she was never gonna medal.

Media was looking for an it girl, and Lolo stepped up to promote her virginness. That's all.

what exactly is so controversial about the algerian winning?

He was entered in both the 800m & 1500m, which both events overlapped. Because he wasnt tryin in the 800m yesterday he was kicked out even tho he was in the 1500m final. So he got a doctors note to say he was injured, hence his performance in the 800m so he could compete in the 1500m.

Basically its an error on Algerias end.
