sounds like all this video stuff was a pet project and still no sponsor. I think I'm throwing in the towel on her announcing anything before trials. Either she got dropped, she's asking too much, or it's the most complicated sponsorship contract every created in the history of running.
Shy still has no sponsor
Or, maybe for some weird reason they're making sure she's healthy and makes the olympic team? I guess that's possible.
A stunt double to “save her legs”. Betting that she is currently injured as others were insinuating recently.
The stunt double thing is super weird... even if she’s not injured, I question how much quality training she can be getting in alone in Portland when she’s spending every day spending a ton of time and energy shilling something.
She criticizes her former BTC teammates for not having outside interests besides running, but I’d choose being at altitude camp with the best athletes in the country over filming YouTube videos making granola.
She will make the team due to lack of depth in her chosen event, but I would be very surprised if we see her continue to improve as a runner
Just when you thought it couldn’t get weirder.... it gets weirder.
A stunt double for her legs!

lululemon doesnt formally sponsor. They have ambassadors. She will likely be a “global ambassador”, but she’s not getting paid as they don’t do that. You’ll get some apparel, but no pay cheque (unless she’s hired as a model as well, but that’s a different basket).
And lululemon doesn’t have shoes, my bet is on ASICS on that end. If they are cool with her wearing lululemon for apparel.

They let Allie Kieffer wear Oiselle for the year they sponsored her so maybe.
Colleen posted a story this afternoon that said 'man if feels good to have a sponsor that treats you like the queen you are' or something like that. Idk if she meant one she currently has or if she's planning to announce soon.

Based on this, I'm certain Nike gave her a very generous offer, but she thought she was worth MORE. Really seems like she shopped around for the best price at every company. I wonder where she's training now?

No she means she likes to be treated like a gold medalist, when she’s aluminum foil snowflake at best. I guess all of this mindfulness stuff could work for her until the whole woke movement goes broke.

Wow. Just saw this on instagram. Not a hater, but that's a narcissistic look. If she's a Queen, what does that make people in the sport who have actually achieved results at international meets/world stage.
Also yet another snipe at Nike, who probably paid her a $1million+ cumulative in sponsorship not including cost of camps/coaching. There are people out there who had genuinely horrible experiences with their sponsors (incl. Nike) who complain less. Yet because they didn't fly her business and pay her $250,000 she gets salty about them once a week on instagram. She comes across incredibly entitled and immature.
Treats you like a queen = springs for Economy Plus
Spectracide Bee and Wasp Spray?

Well said. Also doesn't she realize that prospective sponsors read this stuff? Does she think it will make them more eager to sign with her knowing that someday she'll turn around and publicly bash them for not lavishing her with enough money and goods?
Signed with Lululemon. Done deal.
Apparently gonna be official as of National Running Day, or World Running Day or whatever.
A Google shows that to be June 3rd.
Guess I got a month to be proven right or wrong.

I hope this means Nike will start to make the dri- fit knit running tops again to compete with Lululemon’s metal tech vent tops.
Hyperice - brought to you by Steeple Squigs! Good for her.
The ad is only seen run during track meets that the five of us watch.
