Sha’Carri Richardson is a BETTER Sprinter than Katelyn Tuohy is a Distance Runner

No, the statement 'Shacarri is the better athlete' is simple fact unless you are a contortionist. If I told you Led Zeppelin is a better band than the Rolling Stones that is an opinion. Comparing athletes even across different events is quite easy to do objectively, using things like World level medals, IAAF points etc.

They downvote you because they blame the messenger. Your post is generally on the mark.

They downvote you too. It is amazing how often the most sensible posts are downvoted the most. Who are these people?

More interesting only on this board as it is filled with people who never had the genetic requirement needed to be able to run fast.

Your comparison of my comment isn't accurate at all. Tuohy is actually right next to world class and she's still indicating that she is continually getting better. But more to the point, the bold print above is your reason? So you are appointing yourself the arbiter of whether it's reasonable to be a fan of Tuohy by using an athlete who is basically a wreck of a person with a glimmer of promise. Ok. If that's what it takes to make you feel good about yourself. (hands clapping)

Here is the deal. It is fine to be a fan of Tuohy but she is never going to be that great even though you desperately want her to be because she is white and you could take her home to dinner. I don’t really care for Sha’Carri and she is virtually lynched here but she is a better athlete than Tuohy ever will be. That is all. Let us have some perspective. Sha’Carri is an all time great @ 100m in terms of her personal best. Tuohy never will be. That said, Tuohy seems like a great person and Sha’Carri maybe not so much.

Your racism is not welcome. You should be ashamed.

Hey Odis. I know you need attention, but don't tell me your mother is that ugly?

For television with commercial breaks every (5 to 10) minutes, any event longer than 3000mSC is awful tv. Fifteen-hundred meters barely fits in between commercials. Olympics and W.C. could demand television networks show 3000mSC finals sans commercial breaks. TV networks can go 10 minutes without a break if they choose to. For the good of the sport, I don't know why deadenders on here won't agree to give up 5000m & 10000m then add 3000m. In 1980 Olympics, we had Coe v. Ovett. Hype for Coe v. Ovett 2 1984 was not exciting. The pre-event hype: Mary Decker v. Zola Budd, 1984 3000m was off the chart. I have demonstrated mathematically, no such person as a 5000m &/or 10000m runner. Three-thousand meters race pace to 1/2 Marathon race pace is very similar.

I would be so ashamed to say I am a shacarri fan in public, and id probably get assaulted if I said that... girl is the most hated runner in the history of the sport, and she did that to herself.

im sorry but katelyn tuohy's records lists is longer than shacari's race results lits

im sure youre a black person whos racist, whos so insecure about the attention white girl runner katelyn tuohy gets

I WOULD NOT BE EVEN SURPRISED IF YOU ARE SHACARRI 😂😂

I am not black. I just recognize racism, including how racist you are.

Aside from such a non-sensical statement, at least Tuohy's brain is firmly planted within her skull. SR is clearly a NUT-JOB deserving of internment in a pyschiatric facility for years to come.

I'm a field event guy and enjoy both sprints and distance. Completely different endeavors.

Complete asininity. You have NO idea whether Ms. Tuohy will develop into a top-notch all-time great. She's already improved almost 20 seconds this year in the 3K, and just another 15 seconds would put her among all-time greats. She's also still only 20 years old (21 in March). I also have no idea of whether she'll been an all-time great. However, calling SR an all-time great means NOTHING as she has NEVER lined up in a major championship, let alone earned a medal. SR is a complete disgrace as a human being, and I hope she never returns to the sport.

Omg , what??

I recognize from a far how jealous you are of a 20 year-old Katelyn Tuohy. You are so affected by her that you made time to post about her despite not being a fan. You say she is only this and that but guess what, Tuohy is the real deal, she is on her way to become one of the greatest distance runner in the history of American Distance running. Taking down NCAA records of the past greats and she is not showing any signs of slowing down.
