Did Ma Junren move from China to Korea to coach her?

Seeing how I have had the chance to watch this young lady train, I'll give my 2 cents:
1) Her coach is young- under 30 and a woman, so superstition based training is out. She has good form and obviously done a lot of drills. Most 'traditional' coaches here just make everyone run... a lot...

"Obviously" done a lot of drills? I think not. Good 'ol fashioned genetics are on this youngsters side.
Best of luck to her!
It's not in the American spirit to recognise the talents of those offshore.
Good to see the Asians running well
Kim Jong Il crushed her time when he was only 9. Not only is he the successful leader of this great nation, he is the most athletic human on the continent.
Despit his age, he's able to cruise at a comfortable 6:15 pace nowadays. He could certainly tackle the national age group records if he wasn't so busy leading us.
Too bad Hasay didn't go after the AJR which is right around this time :(
Hey Rob,
Any idea if she goes to school or is she a full time runner? I know with a lot of their athletes (ice skaters/figure skaters) once they are identified as a talent it's all or nothing and that means training all day and not going to school.
Any idea on this one? Running shouldn't involve as much training as the skaters so perhaps she can keep school up.
Problem with running as opposed to the sports like ice skating is how much can be affect when the body hits puberty. Be a shame to bet it all and have it crumble when puberty hits.

That's funny. Yes, touring goat farms can take a lot out of a guy. That and dialysis.
