In what world is Keely 2 years better than Mu's two. To he only started winning when Athing stopped caring.
Arguably insane mental gymnastics to think she's 1000 times better with:
-a losing head to head record to Mu. 4-1
-Mu has either twice as many gold medals or 3x as many gold medals
-MU'S superior range 400m-1500m
- if we're being really meticulous Mu invalidates one of Keely diamond league championships wins too she just showed up just to win and prove a point.
-mu have a slightly slower 800 m time but she doesn't go for national or world records
If you're ever comparing two runners and one runner has ^ those advantages over the other, how the hell can you come up with she's 1000 times worse while trying to come off as completely objective lmao. The head to head record kinda ruins any objective argument for the other way around. I question your logic because it's bizarre. 2/3 golds is literally just better than 1.
Where Keely is clearly better is when it comes to placing 2nd. 4 silvers including common wealth games to Athing's Bronze. The 2 diamond league championships displaying greatness over the entire season(although athing made it clear she doesn't care about that and smoked her) Keely also goes for national/world records far more and I think that should be worth something discussing their resume. But Mu matches alot of those records without even going for the record. Like look at their 600 m times. Keely was a Sr athlete Mu a junior and almost just as fast. Don't make this a talent conversation.
Lastly, mu has a coach holding her back lmao Keely is really lucky about that. I actually really like Keely but I couldn't let someone smear Mu's name with lunacy. Imagine if Keely could never run the 800 against Georgia or even in practice lmao.
Better: Mu
-head to head record, double/triple the amount of Gold, more talented at other events.
Greater: Tie for now
- Mu's 3 golds and 1 Bronze vs Keely's 1 gold and 3 silvers.one more medal would tip it in favor of keely. But to be clear, it wouldn't make her a better runner if we're talking about talent. I think that's just been proven for years now that Athing is more talented and that's crazy cause Keely is truly great all-time talent too.
