In my (limited) opinion, I think she needs to take a risk, and run near the front in this race (or another race fairly soon) ... then bring out the Roesler kick with about 225m to go and see where she ends up. If she keeps running at the back-of-the-pack in these big races (meaning, with world class competition), I have to wonder (a) what her coach is telling her, and (b) if there isn't some kind of a mental block. To get over (b), she may need to do a race where she throws caution to the wind.
