Could it be that Alberto Salazar prioritizes Rupp over Hasay, and Salazar would rather stay with Rupp than go to Copenhagen with Hasay, so Hasay figured (or was told by Salazar) that without Salazar there that she wouldn't have much support?
This feels more like a Salazar issue than a Hasay issue. It's just baseless speculation by me though.
Or maybe she didn't feel like going to Copenhagen , so she didn't go.
Only G-d, Hassay, Salazar and Rupp knows.
IMHO, On Rupp's pull out from the half, I think this is psychological warfare on Mo so he can get overconfident on Rupp. Mind games.

highest runner income estimated by agents on the LR article was for Sydney Mclaughlin, who's not really white.

The statement that she will now not go race because Rupp has withdrawn, and instead she will do a hard training run at home, sounds ridiculous.
If Copenhagen was scheduled as part of her pre-Chicago training, why doesn't she still go? Does she need Ruppy to be there? Can't she race on her own?
Something smells here within the NOP camp.
I remember in the 80ś there was an interview with Salazar and another runner.
They asked about running races as tune ups or whatever for a big race.
The other guy said he ran a lot of 10kś as ¨workouts¨ and picked up some money.
Salazar said that he can get more done in a workout than in an easy 10k.
Eh- just a thought.
My guess is that with looser pot laws in places like Oregon, the need to go to Copenhagen to get high is minimized.

There will be a judgement day. I will get a chance to say I told you so. AGAIN.
Cragg and Hasay are 100% out of this years Chicago.
You're a mental case.

SHE IS HURT AND WILL NOT RACE. I told you this prior to Boston earlier this year and I’ve been saying it about Chicago for over a month now. Neither will Amy Cragg. No Weldon I’m not going to send you a private email. Just watch.
Yep, and when they run, you'll hide away like a coward. You know zero, you're just trying to be heard. LOL at you!

Some runners actually need to compete to make a living.

HASAY DNS BOSTON
RUPP DNF BOSTON
RUPP DNS COPENHAGEN
HASAY DNS COPENHAGEN

My point was, don't say Jordan isn't going to Copehagen because her teammate isn't. Another one of her teammates IS going.
Agreed, skipping races isn't a luxury non-white non-American runners can afford.

Actually, two of them are going, as Kejelcha will also be toeing the line.

Salazar may not have been capable of running an easy 10k race, so for him this was the right approach.
Is Hasay gonna JOG in Chicago. No recent pics of her running and no recent interviews.
I feel sorry for both Jordan and Amy. They don’t want this publicity over whether they will run or not. They both wanted to pull out of the race 2 months ago. Their DNS is going to be on Nike’s schedule not the athlete.
If you are close with either of them or their teammates then you know the deal.
