It’s a stupid premise entirely.."oh we have been waiting for this for years? " waiting for waht to be run down with a 32 second head start? I do not even get this, is there an official time for Kessler.
Cope.
cope with what? Its f ing stupid..I get the idea of a handicap race., in this? you could not even see the men finish or see what they ran. This is a built for woke event, and thats fine, just don't be saying stupid sht, like we have been waiting for a woman to win for years.
1) :30 lead changed to :32 this year and acting surprised outcome not same as last year
2) Nikki saying Nikki not a woman when everyone knows Nikki is and just uses nonbinary pronouns. Nikki is woman with nonbinary gender, stupid to make a big deal about.
3) the fact there is always this annoying confusion and discussion every time Nikki races, distracting the conversation away from Nikki’s SICK KICK and being an awesome racer
4) people getting mad when someone points out any of the above
and during the post race interview Nikki announced she's non binary and that "a woman has still never won this race"
Even as an ardent Nikki supporter, I was disappointed by that comment. The race was a battle of the sexes, not a battle of the gender identities. I wish Nikki would have said something like, "Just to clarify, this is the first time a female has won this race. I don't identify as a woman." A statement like that may have been confusing to people who don't get the difference between biological sex and gender identity, but at least it would have honored the historic nature of Nikki's win while still recognizing their identity.
0:32 seconds is WAY too much of a lead. El Guerrouj 3:43.17 versus Kipyegon 4:07.64 = 0:24.47. I'd be generous and give them about 0:28. Hell, I could beat Jakob in the mile if you give ne enough of a head start.
Boston does the same thing by making the women's standard much easier than it should be.

Imagine thinking the mental gymnastics required to manoeuvre this type of semantics was rational
This is why the Democrats will continue to lose until we get our sh!t together. Yes, I'm a California lib and frankly I'm sick of this crap, more people need to stop pandering to these delusions. Do whatever you want, be whomever you want, but stop expecting everyone to jump through hoops to not offend you, especially when what you say and do makes no sense. It's a men vs women race, why did you enter it? It's advertised as a men vs women race and you sign up on either the man or woman team. You know that the women get a 32 second head start. After the race is over and you win from the women's field and taking the head start, to then say a woman still hasn't won makes you an a$$hole. The organizers spend considerable energy and money in creating and promoting this unique event and for you to narcissistically make it all about you is classless and quite pathetic. I believe she will regret this one, this is a bridge too far.
Who wins? Pick the men's and women's winner and tell me which one of them wins overall (women start 32 seconds ahead of the men). Anyone who nails all three answers will be put in a drawing for a free letsrun shirt. You must make your pick under a registered name to be eligible for the shirt.
So Hiltz will be identifying as a woman tomorrow?
I'll go with more distance-focused winners due to where it is in the season and it being a road mile.
Kelati and Young are the winners. Kelati wins overall in 4:25
Can’t just let it go can you?
What does it matter to you how somebody identifies or what they want to be called. How does it affect you personally?
Remember Nikki said “ If you voted for Trump, I want nothing to do with you”
Nikki is filled with hate and is the cause of the problem and not the solution
As a member of the Trans community this is true. Nikki is not a good leader and beyond filled with hate. She does not represent me or my community working so hard. She truly represents self attention and hate and has proved that over and over. She had written of more then half the country and we in the trans community are trying to unite everyone

Most people in the trans community can’t stand Nikki for her blanket statements. Yes it’s true we want to unite the everyone, not separate everyone like Nikki has and does. They do not represent the trans community at all.
