Should performance-enhancing surgeries in general be allowed? For example, a basketball player getting limb-lengthening surgery to go from 5’-9” to 6’-6”?
Hypothetically, what if an athlete made himself superhuman, like 9’-0” tall? (for the sake of argument, ignore the obvious impracticalities and mobility issues that would occur).

Flavin is certainly on the taller side for a marathoner, but these allegations are absurd.

Hiltz Derangement Syndrome making it into random threads lmao
I'm not really sure why he pulled out. From his strava he isn't injured, just had tightness. His last 2km before he pulled out were not a complete disaster. If he ran 3:20s until the finish, he would have run around 2:11. He trains like he thinks he's a 2:08 guy, but maybe he's just not there yet, and he should have finished in 2:11 after going out too hard and been satisfied with running close to his PB?
Happy for Turner Wiley. I coached around Seattle in the 2010s and remember him as being a solid but not standout high school guy. I don’t think he ever broke 9:30. He keeps after it and a decade and a half later runs sub 2:10. Pretty great story.
Came here for this. Turner deserves some more LRC love. Dude has out in the work. 9:36 PR in HS. Goes to SPU (DII) and leads his team with bests of 14:53, 30:53 (school record) and 25:34 in XC, graduating in 2016. Continues training through Club NW, while working at Seattle Children’s Hospital and has dropped times down to:
