We had hoped to be able to post updates on Shannon's races in Beijing, but this website has been blocked by China so we won't be able to access it until we get back to the States.
FYI - Shannon's first round of competition, which was supposed to run on August 19, was cancelled because they did not have enough entrants to warrant three rounds. Her first race will be contested on August 21 at 7 pm Beijing time. If she makes the finals, that will be contested on August 23 at 7:50 pm Beijing time.
Below is a link to the IAAF website which will have Shannon's race results shortly after her competitions have completed. Once you find her event (listed in chronological order) look to the right of the page and click on the word "results".
Here is the link for the results on August 21.
Here is the link for the results on August 23.
Go Shannon Go!
Shannon,
You honored your country with your running in Beijing.
Well done.
