That was called on fairness, those good ones just take them out of their comfort zone. I think she slightly figured out how to race and what worked a small bit late in the day for this kind of thing
Achilles injury. A lot of things make sense with her prep runs now. Poor girl

There is such a feeling of injustice about this. A horrible, horrible feeling of injustice. To have your one shot, your last shot, just taken away without even getting to compete. Ciara Mageean touches our hearts maybe in a way no other Irish athlete has ever done. What might have beens haunt you for life.
