Athing Mu - “Brightest Star”

Femke Bol LOL her best time in the 400 would put her #3 on the Arkansas Women's Mile Relay, An exceptional College Team, but still a College Team, In her best event she is A DISTANT 2nd to SydneyMcLaughlin #2 in the World is great, but brightest star?

In the USA

Jakob Ingebrigsten

Siffan Hassan

My Opinion only

Femke Bol is not one of the brightest stars in track, since she isn't the best in the world yet at any event, but she has the world indoor record in the 400m, faster than any of the Arkansas athletes have run outdoors.

Fading star is likely more accurate.

She broke her own American record just 9 months ago.

I'll take track athletes I like for 1000.

Yeah but that was only because NBC wanted to shove her down our throats.

Yet herein will I imitate the sun,
Who doth permit the base contagious clouds
To smother up his beauty from the world,
That, when he please again to be himself,
Being wanted, he may be more wondered at
By breaking through the foul and ugly mists
Of vapors that did seem to strangle him.

Kipchoge has pretty much become one of the most recognizable names in the world ny racing twice a year. But what does that he to do with Athing Mu? Name the year that she only raced twice?

So we know she races at least once a year. Maybe, with the Olympics it might be twice.

Not Sydney?

So? She doesn't race at all otherwise, and last year she was not dominant. Not track's brightest star - not even close.

Are you serious?

Don't you have a vaccine to go cry about or something?

Mu hasn't raced in 3000 years.

Sydney McLaughlin is the current “shining star.” Athing is close. Wishing both women a healthy and successful Olympic Trials.

didn't SI get sold (for the second time in recent years) this spring? cause i agree with the commenter, this reads like she spoke with the reporter back in december, then this was published in june. if she does trials and nothing else prep then we're talking 10 months without a race, which is more interesting than the fluff.

Mu who?!

Mu who?!

Shacarri is slightly closer in my opinion. But Agreed
