I hope she does run. It would be such a good race between her, Keely and Mary. Keely runs better with Mu in the race. Mary does funny things to the race.
I would like to see Mu go out to the front like she does and control the race and that would mean Mary can’t do her crazy speed up slow down tactics. Though it’s a shame Keely gets psyched out by that.
Then it’s anybodies in the last 200m. In a way it makes it more interesting as we haven’t seen Mu race much so we are unsure of her fitness.
With Reekie back up to fitness too she could put some pressure on for a third spot.
The front of the race becomes far less certain if Mu is not at her best. It could become a logjam at moderate pace with Mu, Moraa, Hodgkinson and also Audrey Werro of Switzerland. She is a frontrunner and good enough to make the final if she draws a favorable semifinal.
Keely is best served if Mu is near her best. That would translate to Mu taking it out faster than Moraa is comfortable with, allowing Keely to settle behind Mu.
So far Moraa has demonstrated zero willingness to mix it up with Mu. She is Keely kryptonite but defers to Mu. Granted, it's only been two races but both of them were shocking in terms of Moraa staying out of the way.
Mu hasn't really used the super front runner tactic she used when she first came on the scene. Lately she seems to use more of a "run it out of them in the 3rd 200m" tactic...whether for better or worse.
As I mentioned the other day, pay no attention to the betting sites. The fact that Mu was not listed didn't mean anything.
There is no such thing as inside information. It's all a myth perpetuated through the generations. Virtually everyone who works in that field lies to friends and public, trying to make the profession and the methodology vastly more complex and sophisticated than reality.
Awesome news! Looking forward to seeing Athing race again. Should be a food race. So many talented 800m runners. Athing blew the field away in her only 800m race in New York. She bested her 1500m pb by 13 sec at the US Championships. I am hoping she wins gold again!!
”Miss Mu” is such a stinker! I will *NEVER* forgive her or Bob Kersee for doing this to us. We deserve an athlete that respects the sport! Maybe she is the reigning olympic and world championship, big deal!!!! If she steps on that track she is about to get spitroasted by a handful of women who have never beaten her before! Won’t even make the final
Wow, fragile snowflake, in what bad place that that mean bad woman touch you? It's obvious you're the one who got spitroasted

Yes, Eathing is in prime steak. Being Tokaji honest, it will be a paprika final. Goulash I can't wait.
If Mu wasn't at her her best, she wouldn't be in Budapest. I expect her to win comfortably.
I don't know how some people are expecting a different result from a Kersee star athlete with a proven track record. Her 1500 at USAs shows she's primed for something great that the other competitors can't match - definitely a PB at the least and maybe even a WR challenge.
