I think you got confused which woman is the subject of this thread.
I can understand why, as they look virtually identical and run the same race.

Of course she does.
All you have to do is count her steps per minute and realize she can move with a higher turnover.
And then look at the difference in our stride length and how she can vary it.
Yes, she's going to go quite a bit faster.
That's not how running mechanics works. There are slower cadence runners and faster cadence runners in the 800 running the same fast times. If Mu tried to speed up her cadence her stride would shorten and she would run slower.

First, congrats on another great thread title.
“Stop lying to yourselves”
I didn’t know I was telling myself she couldn’t break the world record.
A negative split 1:55.2 is crazy.
Even though it’s real old, I think the record is weak.
I don’t know how a properly trained 800m runner with 49 s 400m speed would have trouble breaking 1:53.
Why can’t women have the endurance to push two laps?
I look at my own 800m progression.
I ran 50 flat in high school sprint training and ran 2:02 with no distance work.
First year of college I ran 1:55.
Second year I was probably in 49 shape. I ran 1:53.5 and 4:05 for the 1500.
Why can’t a woman that can run 49 and 4:00 run 1:53?
I eventually ran 1:49 but my 400 ability was no better than Mu.
Though l ran 3:52 that year and eventually 3:42.
We just saw a man run 45.9 over hurdles.
The women are running 51 mid.
Wang’s unbelievable 10,000 record has been beaten to dust.
Qu’s 1500 record is gone.
This 1:53 is becoming mythical but I don’t think it’s been attacked.
Mu has the talent for it.
She CAN break it.
Will she? I don’t know.
Maybe she just needs her own Nigel Amos chasing her in a race where she goes for it.
You can't compare yourself, a man with Mu, a woman even if you both have the same 400 speed. Men and women have different physiologies. Women haven't got the physical strength (T) and high VO2 that enables men to run closer to their 400 speed for two laps.
Is she clean?

Get ‘em, bruh
Forget her 400 m speed as impressive as it is for an 800m runner. Athing Mu possesses far more potential at 1500m then she ever will at 400m.
The young lady ran sub 5 minutes indoors at age 14 (freshman in high school). EVERYONE keeps overlooking she has just as much potential to be world class at 1500m
In 2021 running 4:16.06 in ON LY 1500m race off 400/800m training. That will enable her to break the 800m WR.

You keep repeating your fantasies as though that will make them come true.

Apparently not, but why?
One event to another is comparable at other distances.
A man that can run 11 flat at 100 can run 22 flat-ish at 200. Similar for a woman.
Alyson Felix runs 10.9, 21.7, 49.3. That's about what a man would run for the three events. Maybe a little slow for 400m.
You see women running 800/1500 of 1:57/3:59. I think that's comparable, but the 800 ,ay be weaker.
Shannon Rowbury 1500/500 at 3:56/14:38. Comparable to what guys do at that range. But her 800is only 1:59.
The 5000/10000 times line up with men as well.
There seems to be something so specific to the 800 that women can't maintain anywhere near their 400 PR pace but men can.
Again, my 400 PR is similar to hers and I've gone out in 51 (not too successfully) but usually 53.
Why is it so impossible for her to go out in 55/56 with the right training?
Going out in 56 was so easy to me. I am not asking for 1:49 from her. But 1:53.0 seems to be within reach.
After her 48.32 relay spilt, I understand why Athing said, "I want to set the WR eventually, no not eventually, we're setting the WR".
She obviously capable of at least 48.9 in the open 400m right now and with her 1500m endurance...she is certain ain the WR will fall soon. Gold was her target at the Olympics now she will attack the WR.

I don't think you understand why that record has stood for nearly 40 years. There is a world of difference between 49 and 47.6.

He's talking about the 800m.
Athing's 48.32 relat spilt certainly confirms she is capable of at least 48 .9 in the open 400m. She has shown her potential to be a world elite at 1500m which is why I know she can threaten the 800m WR.
Athing cleared things insulating she going for the 800m WE much sooner then later
Only 11 women have ever spilt 48.3 or faster, shows how talented Athing Mu is at 19 yrs old.
Now name me ONE female sub 50 second 400m runner who could run 4:16.06 off 400/800m training?
Or
Name me one 4:16.06 or faster female 1500m runner who could spilt sub 49 in a 4 x 400m relay?
NONE except Athing Mu, none EVER in the history of athletes !!!
You act like you discovered Athing Mu. You are obsessed with her. Settle down and let her do her thing. She will do what she does.

Agreed.
I think with vaporfly shoes and an extremely fast track,athing could break the world record.Theres no reason why she cant get down to 48.9 and 1.53 flat,although she'll need to improve her sprinting speed..However for her to truly beat kratochvilova's world record,she'd need to run 1.51.jarmila ran it in 1983,with normal spikes,and on an older track.The real question is,how fast would jarmila,nedezdha olizarenko and marita koch(400 meters) have run on todays fast tracks with vaporfly shoes?
Do i believe athing could get down to the 1.51 which would be worth what kratochvilova and olizarenko ran? no...

Word in Tokyo was that Athing Mu has a micropenis. Clear intersex.
If Mu was intersex she would have high testosterone levels and would be prohibited from running the 400 and 800.
Next time think before you post something so dumb.

If she beats 1.53 it will also be because she has high testosterone levels. But not because she is intersex.
