The biggest name in the sport WORLDWIDE? Mondo, Noah, Shacarri and Femke are way bigger. Sydney is only big in America
Femke literally can't be bigger than Sydney. All her fans have had to see her get repeatedly crushed by syd. Not that she's not successful and famous in her own right but that's makes no sense at all. If you had said Shelly ann I could maybe see it but bad hill to die on with this take.
Hot take I do think Shacarri is more popular in the US but it's still very close and when you go global she's nowhere near Syd
Sydney is famous only in the US. Femke, Mondo, Shacarri and Noah are famous worldwide. I bet you live in the US to think Sydney is famous worldwide lmao
Someone who follows the sport close enough to have a registered username on a primarily distance running message board but can't actually watch a distance race
This long ago stopped being a distance running anything. The once proud "home of internet distance running" realized all us distance fans are weirdo losers and have jumped on board the more popular sprint train

Again, Syd is much more known on the global stage than Femke. Any metric would show this.

Not true. Syd has a small fan base because she spent too much time hiding per Kersee and his “methods”.

This is made up take. I live in the UK and this is not true.
I'd bet 100k she's making at the very least $100k per event as salary on top of earnings. She's The biggest name in the sport worldwide.(Excluding people in their home countries like tebogo, alfred, sifan, Jakob, Keely, Michelle jenneke lmao) MAYBE you can argue Noah is similarly or more famous but she was the very first slammer and literally other than mondo or maybe Shelly ann the most accomplished tf athlete currently competing.

This isn't true at all. SML is well-known (for a track athlete) but she's not a huge star outside of the US. She could walk round any city in Europe and probably go unrecognised. But that's probably true for everyone other than Mondo, Lyles, Jakob, and Kipchoge. Maybe Bol and Hodgkinson on the women's side. Globally, Mondo and Kipchoge are the biggest stars in the sport without question.
Lot of people like to spend their time complaining instead of talking about the great running we're seeing...
Arop and Kenny are both looking amazing!
It'd be nice to be able to clean out all those stupid complaints and have a nice clean thread about the meet. Good crowd, great competition, it's what we want in a track meet.

You live in the UK and you think Sydney is more famous than these other athletes?

Again, you're crazy if you think Sydney is famous outside the US or bigger than Femke
Probably most of them in USA. I'm Canadian and NOBODY knows who SML is. Probably more people would remember Bol at the Olympics because the average Joe likes things like underdog/comebacks, etc., so they'd remember Bol's relay rather than SML's (superior) performance in the 400mh. The average person doesn't know that a sub 51 hurdles race is otherworldly...
American track fans are in love with SML - the rest of the world, not so much.

Canada is a stupid example. People in Canada mostly follow hockey.
Sydney is much more famous than Femke around the world. They remember Sydney as the beautiful hurdler who dominates.
