    Klosterhalfen does not have a kick, and everybody knows that if you do not have a kick, you will lose 80% of races against opponents with the same PR as you.

    Maybe not right now, but check out 2019 Klosterhalfen. Closed a sub 14:30 race at worlds in sub 60 last lap to medal behind prime Obiri. Zurich diamond league final 2019 was won by Hassan ran 3:57 closing in a 57. Klosterhalfen and DeBues-Stafford both closed in 58.8-9 to run 3:59 for second and third leaving some very good women in their dust (Dibaba, Simpson, Tseguy).

    Going sub 60 to close in a sub 4 race or a sub 14:30 5k means you definitely have a World class kick. It's just a question of if she has it anymore after 3 years of on/off injury problems.

  • Katelyn WILL never even get close to 8:20 or a global medal at 2

    Konstanze Klosterhalfen vs Katelyn Tuohy at 20 years of age :

    800 : 1:59 vs none

    1500 : 3:58 vs 4:06

    3000 : 8:29 vs 8:54

    5000 : 14:51 vs 15:14

    At 22, Koko ran an 8:20 3000m, got bronze at 5000m worlds behind one of the GOATs. She also got second in the diamond league final over 1500m just behind Sifan Hassan and third over 5000m. Katelyn has a long way to go if she wants to even be mentioned in the same conversation as Koko.

    Coco, her nickname, is in a different class. After watching her 10k race in a German National record, I can see how incredibly talented she is. Love watching her run. She is very fluid and graceful.

    It's Koko, moron! If you are going to correct someone, do it correctly.

    Actually its ChoCho in Germany. Moran

    Obviously Koko is way faster right now. I can't tell if this post is serious?!

    The shame of it all is that if the top runners would race more often they would race each other more.

    That's exciting- when it's back and forth and you don't know what to expect.

    Tuohy is a good college runner while Koko is world class. This is like the locals who see a girl win her HS conference mmeetin 5:40 and are shocked when the girl loses ar state be 200 meters.

    Forget about Tuohy as a runner. With her musculature, she's destined to be the next female Ryan Hall.

    re: coachjim999

    Fun fact, Klosterhalfen is one of like 5 women in history to ever run sub-2, sub-4, sub-8:20, sub-14:30... and a 65 minute half marathon.

    Sadly, she hasn't been in top form for a couple years (in terms of PRs), so I really am crossing my fingers that she'll be really strong again 2023.

    Also, Tuohy is really, really good. But her times and range isn't on this level yet. She'll probably get there if she has a good pro career, but she's not there yet.

    That said, the OP is positing a "if they raced right now" scenario. In that case, it might be a lot closer than the PRs suggest. After all, KT has been on the upswing and KK has had some on-again, off-again races lately. I wouldn't bet my house on either of them, but I would watch them race!

    Hilariously no one on this thread is allowed to say why she is "world class." Hint: because she is using peds. You have to be a special class of stupid to think she ran her prs clean. If people are going to start a thread comparing a college runner to a pro doper, I have no problem breaking the mood.

    Unfortunately, the more closely I follow this sport, I have come to believe it is full of dopers at the very top.

    1:59 800. Koko would smoke her at every distance.

    I think Touhy wins in a 60, as well as one of those obstacle courses that they show in movies about soldiers training for war.
