I think of a sprinter like Evelyn Ashford who seemed like a gracious person. I could be a fan of her.
Sha'carrie comes off as an entitled turd. Zero interest in following someone like that.

Sha'Carri was the better athlete for sure. Isn't she like top-10 all-time fastest women ever? This link (below) says only 6 women have ever run faster. That is better than Tuohy.
But that was then. There are good odds that Sha'Carri never runs at that level again. She might never race another full, good season for all we know.
Tuohy is on the rise and while I doubt she will ever be 7th best in the world, I would much rather have her future than Sha'Carri's. We all agree, right?

I would argue that compared to a lot of sports you could name, no part of track generates much excitement
Totally disagree and I have seen something similiar many times.

No. How could I be 100% sure when these are two people I do not know? A quality mind acknowledges what one is not certain of. You should try to emulate me if you want to become educated.

I agreed Mu retired today She would have an Olympic AND World Championship Gold, The NCAA Record and The American Record, The kind of Career and accomplishments most only Dream about, and she is what age 20 or 21 and she would be a Junior in College if she had not turned Pro She is about the same age as Tuohy both born in 2002
The Shacarri vs Tuohy qustion is silly, Tuohy qould have to run about 3:51 or 3:52 for 1500, under 8:20 dor 3000 and about 14:15 to be on the same level Timewise.
Richardson has all the talent and ability in the World if her head was on right, That is why I worry if Tuohy turns Pro would she have the same problems with maturity That Richardson currenly has? Tuohy has the Potential to be very good, but she will probably never be on Richardson's level the tear she ran several sub 10.8, besides her maturity Richardson may never reach her previous level because apparently she had a boob job thatmakes it a lot harder to run fast.

Why are some comments about athlete appearance such as this allowed but not others? If for example I suggested Femke Boi looks and sounds like a dude my post would be removed.

Because she makes her appearance part of her brand. She mercilessly advertises it and aggressively displays it.
Doh.

Odd comparison. Sha'Carri is loud, and always overpromises and underdelivers. Doesn't matter how gifted an athlete she is (point of note, there have been 10s of thousands of athletes who have achieved little to nothing because they lacked maturity, discipline and professionalism), if you don't take the sport seriously you can't be great.
Tuohy is still very young with a ton left for her to do in her running career. She may go on to do nothing else of note. But her attitude is significantly better than Sha'Carri's and if she continues to work hard she will be in the mix for international titles in the coming years.

Tuohy is far away from world class. This board is ridiculous to worship her when we have women like Mu who should be talked about much more.
Maybe if Muuuuuuu still raced we would talk about her?

I have never seen a boring track event, and I go to junior high meets. Every single race and field event is an incredible display of athleticism, effort, competition, human performance and human potential.

There's threads all the time about Mu and Richardson. We talk about Touhy because she's in season and the storylines are more exciting. This is the price you pay when you choose not to race much during indoor.

Better question is who will make a USA team first? Shacarri who runs fast times early season but gets suspended or isn't clutch or Touhy whos shown some great form and consistency lately?

One is cute college chick with unreal talent and the other is a roid morphed individual that looks like a dude. Got more testosterone flowing through than Schwarzenegger. I know who I will follow and watch and who I will absolutely not.
