Quigley just made a long post on instagram confirming she's leaving BTC
Sounds like she got a better sponsor elsewhere. I would bet my life this was her choice and she wasn’t dropped by Nike. She is one of the most marketable distance runners out there. Yes, looks matter for marketing even if companies won’t outright say that. She might be the most attractive us distance runner of all time and she’s pretty fast as well... whatever her next step is, I’m sure it’ll be a positive one for her. Big loss for BTC IMO

Sometimes the LRC sleuths get it right
Lol it’s been up for like half an hour. Chill.
Look like a lot of people on here are looking real foolish right now

Suzy Favor has a mainstream hair commercial. Pretty sure that is the peak for any US distance runner as far as marketablility. If she could have pulled off the medal (and it would have helped if Regina wasn't doping so much so she won another half dozen US titles), she might have been able to be a breakout star. Well until she went full crazy.:)
I am sure CQ will be fine. She is a good gamble for any brand and she does a good job on and off the track. Probably not winning medals but she will be in contention for the team and making the finals. I can still remember the posts from like 6 years ago saying she should quit track and go back to modeling. She has had a fine career unless you think it is medal or quit.
I liked Colleen (even started getting vital proteins b/c of her) until she posted promoting that dumb bravery book by the insufferable Alexis Papas. She’s dead to me now.

You sound like a real winner.

Not much to read into this... sounds like Nike lowballing BTC athletes betting they won't uproot their lives and leave their coach of 5+ years
good for colleen
Her shilling of CBD and hair ties is suspect. That said, Nike isn't the only game in town, and I hate their shoes so good on her for saying buh bye!
it’ll be interesting to see colleen in a new jersey whether still nike or not considering she’s only ever raced in her bowerman jersey after college
My son mentioned this morning that Quigley left BTC and I casually responded, "Yes, I knew that last week." He was like, "How did you know that?" I said, "It's been on the message boards for a week now and I figured it was true." "How would anyone on the message boards know that?" he responded.
All I could muster was something like, "Well, I think some guy noticed that she was training on her own and no one was liking her posts, and she wasn't in group pics, something like that."
He just gave me a blank, quizzical stare. Thanks LRC for keeping me relevant.
I have it on good word from the higher ups that BTC is collapsing. Recent WADA probes and questions about connections to the Dominion voting machines. Good on CQ for getting out now- I am extremely hopeful that she took some documents with her on her way out and will soon expose the widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election.
all her teammates can muster are heart emojis.
Vanessa with 6, and Infeld only 4
Emily Infeld is the nicest human alive. If there's a problem between you and Infeld. It's you who has the problem.

It won't be Nike. She wouldn't have left the team in this way if she was staying with Nike.

Is it the choice of book or that a woman is reading which has upset you?

From the dummy that claimed none of her teammates offered their support.
Can we do this conversation with less comments on her looks. Yeesh.
Good on LRC for getting this right. But same old LRC that can't talk about female runners without being all sorts of gross.
Nothing wrong with a runner with solid PRs & reach getting a better deal. It sounds amicable enough. Bowerman/Nike wanted her up to a certain price. Someone else offered her more. She took it.
Pretty surprised with all of the departures from Bowerman. Seems like they had a good thing going and some of the losses were a big part of the team, or at least on the surface. But they're still beyond loaded. Just seems like an interesting shake up before the Trials. Why not cut a year from now? It can't be fun for the athletes to go through this. I'm sure they're somewhat discouraged from talking about these things. They probably aren't exactly encouraged to talk about how much they all make.
I think you're 100% right. Also, I've met Colleen a few times. She does not fit in with the girls (fact), and also she's expensive. You can say she knows her value, or is overvalued- depends which way you look at it.
With the amount of followers she has, she can pick up so many affiliate and sponsor deals, yet Nike probably limited her because she's exclusively with them when it comes to apparel, shoes, watch, glasses, etc. Rather than have it all bundled into a smaller deal, she can break them up and collect more.
I also have a feeling Puma will jump on that
