I keep hearing people say that Nikki held off Mu, McGee & Johnson. Nikki wasn't merely holding them off, Nikki was pulling away.

She's lucky she doesn't need to race against Mary, Suzy, or Regina.
She's absolutely right - 4:03 for a 1500 is not fast. It's just not.

Of course she is right. For a woman like Athing Mu to run 4:03.34 is not unexpected and it is not fast. Something called Stats Gangsta says if someone runs 1:55.02 and 4:03.34 you would expect them to run 49.50 for 400m and 16:31 for 5000m. This is probably pretty close to where she is at.

If only. People who identify as heroes have put so many filters over every corner of life that it would be nice to find a place where you didn’t have to worry about offending people like “manages” here.
Americans don't run from the front. Mu understands that. In an Ethiopian race she would be in trouble. But on forums like this all we hear about is closing splits because American fans have been delusional for decades regarding the value of sit and kick.
