Has Athing Mu always been so arrogant or is she upset?

Nuguse is black. He is the nicest person at the meet. He would never storm off.

I think she knows she's probably going to lose and doesn't know how to deal with it.

I mean seriously the writing is kind of on the wall, she's not running that great and other people are running much improved

I mean if she ran a really smart tactical race she could probably still win. But she has never been able to do this and seems to have a lot of phobias about getting tripped and running good position

But she has been improving nicely in the 1500 so there's always a chance for a double in the future.

Commentator Sanya Richards-Ross said Mu had been tripped/pushed (I can't remember her exact word) 3 or 4 times before the big trip. I only saw one other trip, but it was enough to make Mu do a stagger step.

I think if I was at a world championship and I got tripped TWICE or more in a race that I was favored to win, I would be pretty upset as well after the finish. I think Mu was wise to leave the track without speaking.

were people not watching the race? she was getting tripped over and over again and eventually went down. had to work a lot harder for a 1:58.xx than she wanted to. Of course she's not in a great mood in that moment.

Probably ended up putting in something like 1:56 effort

I think her fitness looks as good as ever. first lap 56 or whatever looked so easy for her. if that trip and extra effort didn't take anything out of her, she is a lock.

My god. Get a life. Stop with the stupid troll threads.

Tell me you resort to ad hominem every time without telling me you resort to ad hominem every time.

For comparison, contrast Mu and Moraa after the finish. Mary just picked up a new fan (well, realistically many new fans).

IMHO, I like a little anger, it means the person cares. Like a high jumper missing, but clapping to the audience. Shouldn't he or she desire to make the jump enough that he/she can be a bit angry with the universe, or themselves? Why celebrate a miss?

All the hugging is fine, I guess, whats done is done. But in the NBA, miss a free throw, high five everyone. What? Odd, really. It's nice that teammates want to support the athlete, but the person doing the missing perhaps shouldn't be celebrating a miss. I suppose it could be construed as seeking support.....

....back to Mu. Perhaps she will stew and take it out in the race and run a gold medal, all-time best for herself.

Would you rather he passively agressively attacked your character?

Black people only have value to white people when they behave in the way white people expect them to.

While it is often true that some white people only value black people when they act how they expect, it’s completely hypocritical to say this as a blanket statement.

Meh. You know exactly what kind of people I was referring to: racists.

Like voting Democrat? I agree.

I believe that she's terrified of losing. Her stride doesn't work when running in a pack. She knows she's gonna have to front run (from lane 1.8) and it's gonna be painful, with Moraa and the two brits right on her tail.

Wokester triggered by the truth. Mu has become an arrogant jerk.

Very common in heat/ semis, especially in the 800m

Hell no. Mu is a bad ass who is here for business only. Get through the rounds, no talk, only focus, and wait until the final. Bad Ass. Mu is a Goddess

Tell me you're an unsporting a-hole without saying you're an unsporting a-hole.

Since he didn't say or imply that you've just attacked your own straw man - sorry, straw "girl".

Everything is racist to someone who sees nothing else.
