Thats why Pre never won. He thinks he was world class during that age. He got played by the real world-class runners and he never really won important races. Grant Fisher has more medals and wins than Pre yet people act like Pre won a dozen lol i dont get the hype so what if he broke a record before, many people did including Parker Valby's coach.
Come on, finishing less than a second out of an Olympic medal is “world class.” Pre is overrated by many Americans but you’ve taken it too far. And I’m curious as to these important wins you say Fisher has over Pre. Doesn’t Pre have more NCAA and U.S. national titles?
I believe the original reference compared Valby to Pre because she went for individual glory and Touhy to a chicken because she held back. That implies it was referring to Pre’s tactics, not raw ability. Pre, from a tactical perspective, was a disaster, whatever his talent level. He was awesome in college because he was that much better then his competition, but didn’t know how to race when the competition was better. So running like Pre, if meant tactically, isn’t really a compliment.
(All of this puts aside the absurd comment about Touhy, who had a team relying on her not blowing up and did exactly what she needed to do. If Touhy ran like Pre in that race, the team outcome would be different.).
On every katelyn tuohy highschool video you see people always commenting how Katelyn is the female prefontaine in Highschool simply because she was so superior to the competition and she runs hard from the get go and because of that i thought that he was some olympic champion and dominated distance running until recently when i searched about him and other than his american records and titles, he isnt such phenomenal as what his hype endorsed him to be, his hype makes you think he has beaten the ethiopians and kenyans.
Which is it? First sentence you claim you have no idea. Second sentence, you say that the reason is very clear. Are you that confused? Do you know how to capitalize or use punctuation?

i dont care about him .. and its not an essay im writing
Viren later admitted to blood doping too and his performances were only stellar at Olympics
He didn't. He denied it. But you Americans like to keep harking back to one of your runners who didn't even medal at the Olympics. Billy Mills should be your idol.
There is just no way a healthy Parker Valby will get beaten by Tuohy this year and in the upcoming years. Valby is just on another level and looks to dominate NCAA in the next few years if she stays healthy. A new star is born!
Progress is only important to you. You live in the past but hate everyone else's memories. If somebody runs 14:30, I don't care what they ran 2 years ago. Only you do because you live in Tuohy's high school days. Move on. Please move on. If the pat isn't relevant, you wouldn't attend college because everything that you learn is from the result of the work and research and experimentation of millions of people over hundreds of years. The same is true of running. Training techniques have been honed over the past 75 years. Race techniques have been developed.

It seems like you got your feelings hurt? Hahaha the only relevant thing on your response is the first sentence, and its true for everyone. And um we do discuss other people's times from the past, but one big difference is that its only 3-4 years ago and they are alive and running in college.
" race techniques have been developed " is this an attempt to devalue grant fisher's achievements?
