Congrats Shannon. Great race. Fantastic job by you, Anna and Cristen to make the final. Way to represent, U.S.A. women! Happy you got the bronze. Absolutely, 100% you earned it. The Spanish women completely screwed up; break the rules - no question whatsoever she dervered the DQ.

Great year so far; keep up the wonderful performances, keep workin it.

No interview with Wurth-Thomas? What happened to her? That gigantic Russian almost knocked her down to muscle herself to the front. She ended up 5th to Willard's 6th. She's awesome, sad there is no interview. She worked her butt off this season! Great job, Christin!

She is absolutely hilarious and a CLASS ACT! Would love to see another interview with her now that she knows she won the bronze.

Congrats Shannon!

It was so awesome seeing you up there on the podium at Worlds. You trained very hard and stayed focused all year long in preparation for that final race in Berlin. All of your hard work paid off!
We are so happy for you and very proud of how you have handled yourself all season long!

Congrats Shannon! Not bad. Luckily you placed 4th to make 3rd place due to the 1st place finisher getting DQ'd. I am very proud to have 3 Americans in the final. Keep up the good work ladies. Hard work is paying off...

In 2008, I saw you run a 4 flat something, watching on tv. I thought I saw you slow done a bit before the finish line in that race instead of RUNNING THROUGH THE FINISH LINE hard and fast because you had a sub-4 that day. I said to myself that I hope that was not your only chance in your lifetime to break 4 in the 15. Ever since that race I have had questions about you.
Now, I am a fan and support you, just so you know that.
Be sure to always do your best in those races that have significance like breaking 4 or medalling.
I said under Willard vid of how the race should be run by the best of the best. Anyway, go get that sub-4 soon. I wish you well.

I don't think this was a good race. I would have liked to see her run hard and go under 4 minutes. She let herself get boxed in and didn't even try for a win. Why do they all talk about being tough and in the best shape of their life abd then when they run the race they don't run tough or aggressive.

This is real life Shannon. Great job!

This is further cementing my crush.

Congrats on the bronze! So sick.

Class Act....the ultimate professional!

not me...I almost punch a hole in my PC!
get another interview after finds out!

Congratulations on a great race and third place.
