Shannon Rowbury - Life after 08 -2009 IAAF World Championships

Go to Shannon's website. Shannonrowbury.com

Click on the link to her race schedule and results page then scroll down to August 2008 (the results are in chronologic order). There is a link to a video of the olympic finals there

I need the video of the women's 1500 Beijing final. I don't actually need it but would love to watch it. I have looked everywhere on Youtube. Please help.

Nice Cook Impression Shadow.

Tom and Shannon is the scoop

That did cross my mind. Let's get the attention back to the one who deserves it.

Subject: Shannon is sick... discuss.

haha dan you are getting more comments that Shannon is on her own interview!

I sincerely appreciate that.

Dan - that Stashie has the potential to be legendary.

That clears it up Dan. I knew it didn't make sense. Me bad. Thanks!

I'm sorry, there is a misunderstanding. Of course I knew that there was a 1500m final for women in the Olympics. I didn't notice, however, during the Olympics that an American woman had made it to the finals. That is what I was unaware of.

Oh, and for the record, I'm 23.

I agree. How old are you Dan to not know about the women's 1500 meter final exsisting? Just curious. I'm 23 and thought every runner knew that.

Here is 1500m Finals from Beijing

Can I just say that the way you guys get these athletes to relax and talk about what makes them tick is great. This site out interviews the networks any time. When has anyone ever seen an athlete be so relaxed and comfortable when when talking to Bob Costas or someone like that. I think the fact that you're just regular guys who know and love the sport and can relate on a personal level to what these athletes are going through gives you the edge. Keep it up.

Oh, an Go Shannon! Sounds like you've got a good plan working there.

Dan, yes that is embarrassing. Just curious, how old are you?

1.8 seconds off of the medal stand.

As embarrassing as it is, I have to admit that I was not aware until very recently that an American woman made it into the finals, let alone competed, in the 1500 finals at Beijing. When I watched a recorded video of the final I was SO impressed (and like any male runner...I may have fallen in love just a bit). Either way, I am definitely onboard for supporting Shannon. Ridiculous talent, and being Flotrack-friendly is always a plus.

Glad to see Shannon so happy, must be the coach.

one of my favorite track runners!

I'm reading her name right off her bib in the Olympic Trials, Rowbury, which is the way I've always spelled it.
Well gentlemen, which is it?
Olympics 1500

Leo and Shannon sittin' in a tree....?

nooo...... there are two r's....

duhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Coach Cook hey, that explains the machine like form she displayed at the road mile victory!

I think she could run a fast 10!

was she in Mexico for high elevation, or what? (besides the burritos)

Awesome! Go Shannon!

Hey Flotrack, there's only one 'r' in her last name.

tight little bod!
