Paulino coming in hot with major shade towards Sydney

LR drama queens at work again.

She says she feels like "a winner" not "the winner" -- which is a completely different statement.

Still casting shade on never-race McLaughlin. lol

Rich country, poor country is not the issue. Sydney performs at a top tier level, along with Katie Ledecky, Bolt, and Faith Kipyegon.

Sydney races against herself and the clock. Paulino only races to win. Two very different mindsets. I've never seen Paulino attempt a WR or sub 48. She usually runs moderately fast the first 200m and then uses her top end speed to get into front of anyone she may have to beat. But that is it. That is her job -- just to win. And thus, she will only be as good as her competition.

Sydney has a completely different standard. And honestly, I say Katie Ledecky is closest to her in that mentality.

people are mainly offended by the shade she threw at Sydney.

That race was a historical moment for us all. Paulino couldn't show any reverence for that. She ended up offending the public.

I think Paulino is only referring the 400m event. I think Sydney competitively ran that only once. The second time was to be at the 4th Grand Slam Track.

10 one-lap races a year is a joke. Pogacar races probably 10,000 - 15,000 dangerous miles PER YEAR. get a grip lady.

Paulino is gas gassed up but she is a stud. I think Syd is actually exactly what she needs. It’ll push her to far greater heights than she ever would have reached herself. Not sure Syd wants to see her in 2028 unfortunately.

It did come off as a cheap shot, but I will suspend my judgement since it could be "lost in translation".

But my little league coach we are all winners

She feels like the winner??!?! Bahahaha. Well now I don’t know. I thought Syd would push Paulino to greater heights and breaking the record herself in the future but after hearing her mindset now I may have to walk that back. she’s got a loser mentality unfortunately.

if she wants to claim she’s the winner then let’s just be honest and tell how much testosterone she uses when she’s on a cycle lol

Meaning she feels like a winner, not the winner.
She's throwing a bit of shade, but I think she's implying she didn't feel like she lost. She's satisfied with the result

EXACTLY.

She said she feels like a winner. She raced a great season, and to hear it's not only about one race.

LR drama queens losing it over words they don't even understand lol

Perhaps she’ll target it once. If she can bring herself to care again.

But she probably won’t get it. And it’s hard to want her to get it, given her attitude within the sport.

I think that was more the case the previous couple years, but TBF Sydney was injured last year. Would love if they set up a special world record attempt after Worlds.

To be honest, I think the majority of y’all (fanboys/girls) are deluded, at a deep level. If you actually find any of her performances “inspiring,” I don’t know what to say. She lost me as a fan once she distanced herself from competition, displaying how she really feels. Champions are far more than their performances, and she falls short of champion material.

HA HA HA!!!!

Did I miss the memo from world athletics that there is a REQUIRED minimum number of races an athlete needs to run in order to win a global championship?

Hey Paulino!!!! No one cares how many races you run a year. I'm sure you enjoy the appearance fee money from those races, and the bonus structure for number of races you run from your shoe sponsor, unfortunately in the world of championship racing, they don't GIVE A SH$T!!! Qualify, Show Up, and Run. If you win, awesome. If you lose, go home train harder and smarter (not too many races maybe?), and reload for the next global championship.

Enjoy your SILVER MEDAL and appearance fee cash, and SML will enjoy her WORLD TITLE and bonus cash from her shoe sponsor and larger appearance fee from the races she does run.

I’m sure she WILL enjoy the handsome pay-out…because it’s all about the money, right? Kerley demonstrated that by switching over to the Enhanced Games.

But beyond the money, you’re supporting somebody who couldn’t care less about you as a fan. After all, she can hardly bring herself to care about the competition lol you’re such a fool, but keep supporting nonsense.

This is what happens when a person gets embarrassed. They come up with stupid comments because they're feelings are hurt. She's been running fast times since she was in highschool. She didn't come out of nowhere and throw down amazing times. The posters on here think anyone that's not a white American is doping, that's just how they think.

Nobody is doubting that she ran fast times in high school, and nobody is thinking that she’s doping now.

You actually miss the point entirely. To be expected from the majority of posters.

Continue kissing her arse on a message-board, and see where that actually gets you, moRAN.

TERRIBLE TAKE.

When you break down the quote:

"I feel like a winner because I’ve spent five years in a row running 10 or 15 races."

No problem with that statement at all, especially when properly translated. She's an Olympic and World Champion, one of the three (two?) fastest women in history, definitely a winner.

"Running isn’t just about doing one or two. It’s about being consistent, running a lot, because this is why sport exists — to compete. Not just to challenge yourself twice a year.”

Yeah, not cool. Not sure how one doesn't construe this as a clear reference to SML. Why would she even bring up running few races a year if she wasn't referring to SML? What else could this possibly be in reference to? To me, that comes across as sour grapes and classless.
