Both sides of the argument are right but still i dont understand where exactly is the hype from this run...
She has to shift her training.
Francine Niyonsaba.

Which converts to 418 1500m... which is just ok, considering her talent... there's top 800m women who have gone sub 4 minutes or right around 4 minutes. She's a great 400m and 800m Runner but this time is nothing to go crazy about
Tends to show speed, not endurance, is her gift.

No it was a 4:37 you son of a biscuit!
If you are a double olympic champion, AR holder etc it does not matter if you peak in your teens.
If she quit today she is already the all time US 800m runner
Did you guys know Felix was also a mom?

I hope she's not another Nijel Amos or Mohammed Aman, known for peaking in their teens.
Funny thing to say about a guy who has been a pro for 10 seasons, running 1:41s and 1:42s in six of them, including last year and 2019.
Don't hold the fact that he was great early against him. He has already run at a high level for twice as long as David Rudisha did.

But still never faster than he did at "18", which is the point about peaking early. The comparisons with Rudisha are merely ridiculous.
I have known many. Schweizer's brother ran 49 in HS along with 4:04. Not 4:04 1500.
The way you people rhapsodize distance running is weird.
Runners who can - sprint, those who can't move to distance running. Athing is a 400/800 runner and she has the Olympic medals to prove it.
She has what it takes and does not need to prove her self at a lazy man runs.

just a hair slower than her 4:16 1500 from last April
Slow? When she ran that 4:16 1500 in April, I immediately said she's make the Olympic team. Her endurnace is quite good for someone who ran 49 in the 400. Please tell me how many HS boys that you know that run 4:37 in the m ile that have the speed to run 49 in the 400.
Here is video of the end of the race.

the athlete special (Spencer brown) did run 49.2 and 4:11
My high school teammate ran 49/1:54.8/4:18. But there have never been any biological women to run 49/4:18. Caster Semenya ran 49 high or 50 low and 4 flat 1500m, which is about the same.
But they could. No reason to move up when you are world class.
She was NOT going for time, give her time, before she retires she will run faster than the 3:54.99 American Record
Quite possibly.

the reason to move up is because you feel like being good in the next event up will better support your 800 ability. And in some cases double your opportunities for gold. Like Seb Coe.

yup. this set of skills is actually pretty common for high school boys. A lot of the really good 800 runners will have lines like this.
