Just a quick reply that both Hillary Clinton and Al Gore conceded publicly and graciously. You can find this information easily with a quick search on the internet.
In 2018, Stacey Abrams allowed that Kemp was the governor of Georgia without conceding that he had won the race, for the simple reason that as both Secretary of State who oversaw a massive voter purge in the months before the race, and as a gubernatorial candidate who stood to benefit materially and significantly from this purge, he was clearly in an inappropriate position of influence in his own election. You wouldn't concede defeat to a football team whose quarterback was also the head referee--you probably wouldn't even play such a crooked game to begin with.
Meanwhile, Trump has yet to provide a single example of voter "fraud"--and we know from testimony that nearly every single one of his advisors confirmed that his accusations of such were baseless. Trump is intentionally living in a fantasy land, and your false equivalencies make you look like you've taken up at least seasonal residency there yourself.
Gore conceded even though he knew black voters had been disenfranchised in FLA and it cost him the election.
Hicks isn't Mondoish, because he was born and raised in the country for which he competes. But with American parentage and hence, birthright citizenship, an American accent, and his development in the American system since 12 (8:49 3200m as a senior in high school but only 8:08 3k as a freshman competing unattached at Stanford, so he has improved enormously at Stanford), he was like numerous dual citizens in other sports with the option to compete for either country. Too bad it wasn't the U.S., since his mindset and development in college augur well for his future, and while there was an American champ in the previous two NCAA xc championships, at 21 and 3 months, Hicks is 3 years younger than Mantz when he won NCAA (24 for both of his titles). He's a senior academically but just a sophomore in eligibility. Looking at his pr's, 4:07/7:43/13:24/27:40, I wonder whether the marathon will be his best distance.

Charles is only 21 and lived in the UK until he was 12. Whether his parents are American or not, he still literally lived in the UK for more than half of his lifetime. Regardless of who my parents are, if I was 21 and had lived in England for more than half of my lifetime I’d also feel pretty British. Seems fair to me. Pappas on the other hand never spent extensive time in Greece, so that’s not a relevant comparison at all (although her father is actually from there).
You clearly never lived abroad. I did. My kids did. You grow up in an American household with American parents abroad, vacation back in the US, etc, and you "feel" American. Especially when you leave at still a relatively young age. Charles holds both passports. He clearly has affection for the UK, but this is not some immigrant story. His parents are super wealthy -- a "prominently" wealthy and "old money" Jacksonville family -- and they were never going to stay in the UK forever. I think it's odd that he runs for the UK, but it's his choice to make. There's nothing British about him other than that he happened to live there for a while as a kid.
I’ve literally lived in England, amongst other places abroad 😂 you can say what you want but at the end of the day, if you live in a country for a large portion of your childhood you’ll certainly adapt to and embrace that country’s culture to an degree. You sound like the one who’s “clearly never lived abroad”
He is an American but chooses to represent Great Britain because it offers more opportunity. His parents and direct family are all American. He's also a legacy at Stanford. It's just a lot harder to qualify for world teams for the US and Europe has a more developed national cross country league so he chose to represent GB.
And he lived in the US through middle and high school, which are the years that shape your identity the most. Not far off from Abdi Nur. Born in Somalia and lived in Egypt before moving to the US. He now represents the US.
