She has, as you say, the same “weight,” if not more. She is probably the best known T&F athlete for those that don’t closely follow the sport and is almost assuredly the highest paid currently.
I think Lyles and Sha'Carri are probably at least on par with Sydney as far as popularity or awareness of the athlete.
Sydney should be the highest paid. She may be the best female track athlete I've witnessed. I qualify "female", because I think Bolt is #1 overall.

Yeah, ScR is probably on par or at least close but I’m not sure about Lyle’s name recognition/popularity among people that don’t follow the sport closely.
To me this is the most unnatural result I’ve seen in a looooong time. In track when something looks too good to be true EVERY time it’s proven that it is. She’s pushed and pushed for this AR and suddenly she’s barely jogging, not out of breath, lifetimes ahead of everyone else and it’s 48.2? I’ve never questioned if she was clean before but after this I will take all of her races with a grain of salt. Really makes me feel weird.

You never questioned her before yet her 400h WR is a stronger performance? You’re just butt hurt because a woman could smoke you in a race.

The 400h is a very different race.
She finally ran a 400 flat. Previously she's been running steadily through the 300. This time she actually ran the 3rd 100.
She's where she's capable of. It'll be interesting to see if she can do it again. If she can, she'll win.
Ruining her legacy by not racing. Look how popular Bolt and Duplantis are. Does SML have the same weight despite being so dominant?

Nope, she has little weight outside USA and Canada. Maybe that's fine with her, but she is clearly squandering her potential to be an international star like Bolt and Duplantis.
