OOPS!
Just giving my two nickels here.
I'll admit I had no clue who molly was before her bronze medal in tokyo. I'll admit I even was part of the bandwagon of her hype between her two marathons at the Olympics and NYC in Fall 2021. But, ultimately I came back to reality and lost faith in her as a runner after her Mesa Half in 2022 / her podcast appearance on ali on the run. She went from being an american underdog to just someone who straight up panders to women and anti-men woke crowds. She's more an influencer at this point than an actual elite runner. Constantly victimized herself on that plane tweet and basically started promoting the non-binary thing at nyc marathon. Her Boston Marathon performance pretty much solidified she would never make an attempt at the American Record. Her Bronze Medal was just the stars aligning like someone here mentioned.
Now I know molly simps are gonna come at me like "weLl hOW mANy BronZE mEdals do U havE?'
None. But that doesn't absolve her of criticism. She blames her mental health and anorexia on her performances but yet does nothing to change it. I don't know, most of her platform just became some feminist social network. So I stopped fw her. If she atleast backed her performances up with all her talk, atleast that'd be worth respecting. Jakob talks big but performs big too and doesn't rely on him bragging about his one-hit wonder medal to win an argument.
