Stop lying to yourselves about ATHING MU, she has WR potential

You are one of the most stubborn posters here. Not considering others' opinions is the cause of ignorance. Mu will break the world record. Most posters know that. She will have the clean world record which will wipe out any doped records. The world will be a beautiful place other than you will insert a bunch of insulting and distracting posts in the world record thread.

You forget that most people in this thread have some track experience. So yeah, we do understand the difference between 400m and 800m as well as 47s and 49s. No need to write obvious things in a children friendly way.

Once again, nobody needs 48s speed to run 1:53. It is possible to do it even with 52s, depending on ones strength. Krato was an overpowered beast with little strength, Mu is a very different kind of athlete.

Except that some here are using her 400 time to predict her 800 performance. If that argument is used, that her 400 time suggests she will run an 800 record, then she is still way behind Kratochvilova. However, as you have just pointed out, beyond a certain basic speed a 400 time doesn't determine how fast someone will run an 800 - which is also my point.

I don't agree that Kratochvilova had "little strength". She was a Sherman tank. Mu is not that. She's a beautiful runner but I don't see the equivalence of E Bloc power. Fortunately.

That has to be one of the most stubborn opinions I've read, that you think a clean athlete (you hope) will undoubtedly break a long-time doped world mark. Like many, you don't see that clean athletes dope because it will make them faster than other doped athletes - clean athletes don't stand a chance.

Jelimo at 18 was way faster than Mu - 1.54.1 to 1.57.7. She didn't break the world mark either. It is a very tough record.

Let me guess - you're an American.

I partly agree with him and I'm from Taiwan. It's not a lock, but certainly possible for her.

That is not saying there is "no doubt" she will get the record.

49.84 wow. She may not approach the WR this year but I wouldn't be surprised if she broke the American Record because I certainly think she is capable of 1:55.2 but lack of experience she's not a Good medal favorite, just a Good medal threat.

I agree but as talented Athing is , it still will take a perfect race for to even challenge the WR. As long as her season is, I still think she is capable of 1:56.25 or faster. One have to consider she started her season early as a collegian, and until the trials is still a long a long season...not even factoring in the Olympics. If her season was later out as a pro, like Pamela Jelimo...I have no doubt she could have run 1:55 this year. As good as she is in the 400m, Athing is still a 800/1500m. She has geat speed but endurance she hasn't yet to mature or macimazed yet ........ B

I'm surprised you think she is an 800/1500 runner. To be that she should be running at least 4 mins or even lower for the 1500 in the basis of her 800 level. So how much does she have to improve to make that? 16 secs?

Yeah I see two big red flags here.

Every female in history who has run elite times in the 400 and 800 like this was either:

1. Doping

2. XY

In regards to Mu, she's VERY similar in appearance to that Nigerian sprinter Aminatou Seyni who was confirmed to be XY, as well as Pamela Jelimo who "retired" right as the rumors began to swirl.

This guy continually trolls and posts offensive stuff.

Disgusting. Get off of this site and vent your hateful comments elsewhere

Wrong and wrong. Must be hard to be a hater with no talent.

You are an idiot.

yeah this is absurd. do you really look at a lineup of women 400m runners and then point out the slimmest one and be like "oh yeah, THAT'S the one who's XY or on test"

her appearance may not be everyone's cup of tea but she's like, objectively more feminine looking than most of the people she competes against.

You and your Bolt obsession. Get TF over it already. He was the real deal. You were nobody.

Oh please. Stop with the hysterics. Her appearance is nowhere near Aminatou Seyni. (Jelimo was never confirmed to be XY to begin with so any inclusion of her in this discussion is pointless.)

Mu has the lean musculature of a young woman athlete typical of her age. She has secondary sex characteristics typical of XX women: aka breasts, hips, and small waist. She is not overly muscular like many of the rumored XY-intersex women (Semenya, Niyonsaba, Wambui). Her voice is typical of a young woman who is XX.

Athing Mu's musculature is smaller than Katelyn Tuohy's; she runs faster distances but her shoulders/frame are much more petite. Yet I don't see anyone labeling Tuohy as intersex. Curious why that would be.

She seems like any other college aged young black woman to me.

As the season progressed Athing has gotten faster and faster in the 400m; therefore, overtraining isn't a concern NOR is peaking too soon. 50.87 on when she ran 1:57.7AND now her 400m is about 1.3 seconds faster should translate to 3-3 seconds in the 800m. 1;55.7 to 1:54.5 shouldn't surprise anyone this season for Amazing Athing and she's such an elegant speaker. WOW!

HOT TAKE:

She’s got SUB 1:50 SPEED/ABILITY/WR

She’ll be the first sub 1:50 female!

I don't post as often as I used to years ago but I'm going to showy confidence in Athing. If she doesn't end the season with a PB faster then 1:56.25 then I will stop posting for 6 straight months. I don't like posting without my username EVER so for me it's a big deal to say that.

So your promise is going to make her run faster? Or you will simply stop making predictions that might turn out to be wrong?
