I was going to downvote you because I disagree with you, but I found your posts so hilarious (and accurate, and effective) that instead I ended up upvoting all of them. Well posted.
You're the one who brought Rooth into the conversation. We are talking about track & field.
In direct response to a post naming Warholm.
I hoped that given we might get back on topic: distance running.

Thank you!
I admit to often being annoying, but I do hope for accuracy, effectiveness and occasional hilarity!

It's almost like Kenya is the best at distance running, and the USA is an also-ran along with a lot of other countries. (Including some tiny ones!) Cute.

SCOREBOARD.
Just admit that the USA did terribly at the 2025 WC. Facing reality is the first step.
More cherry picking. As we were discussing, Norway didn't win any medals at the most recent global championship. Nothing in distance, sprints, jumps, throws. So many events and opportunities to win a medal but they came away empty handed. I ask again: how do you say "zero" in Norwegian?

Instead of more desperate cherry picking, please answer my very simple question about the most recent global championship: how do you say "zero" in Norwegian?

Last couple Olympics in men's distance we've seen Kenya struggle as they've mostly been caught for doping with their top athletes. Still got work to do regarding doping control catching a few top female kenyans, but I suppose Faith K at least is protected.

"Moren min." You can say it like this: "All of Norway managed to get moren min in 2025."
But...cherry-picking??
Everyone knows Norway won no distance golds in Tokyo 2025.
Just like the USA won no distance golds in Budapest 2023.
So?
Both are also-ran teams in distance running.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why would you say something that translates to all of Norway managed to get your mother in 2025? That's a weird thing to say. Sounds like you're upset about Norway coming up null at the most recent championship.
And just so I'm clear, I'm not talking about only distance. I'm talking ALL of track & field. Distance, sprints, jumps, throws, relays. All of it. While you cherry pick, I'm trying to be generous by looking at as many events as possible to try to find more medals for little Norway. Unfortunately, they got null in Tokyo. So sad. 🥹
LOLOL. 🤡🤡🤡 Now you want to argue that the US is good at something other than distance running? OK, let's include Norway's cross-country skiing, and China's gymnastics team. 🤣🤣🤣 This is a distance running forum, on a distance running website. The salient discussion is about distance running. But sure, the USA is great at some other things that are NOT distance running. Feel better now? 😭😭😭
