Much of the chatter here will be about Mu but another BAFFLING result from Moraa. And when will Reekie learn that going out in front does. not. work.????
This event looks absolutely wide open this year
Yes where even was she?! Thought maybe moral dropped out

The disaster that is Kersee continues right in front of our eyes: watching the coach who listens to no one ever ruining possibly the greatest natural female 800 meter runner ever in real time.
At least when they ruined Houston McTear it wasn't right in front of our eyes.
I think it kinda was. Pretty sure I have a Sports Illustrated with him on the cover.
Athing Mu should just pack it up. That race was a joke for someone with her talent. She clearly doesn't enjoy athletics and Nike won't continue her sponsorship forever. She can retire as an Olympic champion and go and do something she likes.
my guess is kersee takes her speed for granted. thinks he can just work on her as a mid d athlete, and the speed will be there for her.
I could be a million miles off though.
she wouldn't be the first 800m runner who washed out after a great 3 year stretch.
I was thinking the same thing. Not to be an armchair QB but she should be running 400s not 1500s
Remember, she can't run 400s because Kersee doesn't let his athletes race each other. Just a complete waste of one of the greatest mid-distance talents the country has ever seen. In 2021, it wasn't an exaggeration to think she could have competed for 3 golds in Paris (4, 8, 4x4).

I think Reekie made an acceptable mistake today. She was likely expecting a few more to go with her, but ended up stranded and working too hard. She had a response on the top bend but couldn’t hold it as she’d wasted pointless energy.
Odd race.
