If Tuohy goes on to get ANY medal in an Olympics or World Championships that would surpass anything Sha'Carri has ever accomplished.
Technically, if Tuohy gets on a plane with Team USA to even travel to an Olympics... 😏
Again another dunce chimes in. Daniel Komen never competed in an Olympics. Tuohy will never be as accomplished in track and field as Komen even if she made 5 Olympic teams.
This thread is so exhausting/frustrating, as many on Letsrun are, because people are talking about two different things: Sha'Carri's PB (which is world class) vs. Tuohy's potential (which is huge but obviously, unknown).
Sha'Carri is the 7th fastsest woman ever. She has, for various reasons, a very limited future.
Tuohy is the best college runner but still gets beat by American pros. European and African runners around the world don't know Tuohy. But Tuohy's potential is huge.
And to make it worse, even though we are talking about their athletic abilities, 80% of the posters are focused their personalities.
p.s. We are distance runners, so we identify with Tuohy and admire what she is doing. We are not sprinters (for the most part) on this website, so that explains why we don't care as much about sprinters. That doesn't make anyone a racist. And Sha'Carri, for goodness sake, doesn't represent or reflect "black America." She is s troubled person, but ultimately, just one individual. This isn't about race. It is about Sha'carri, right?

Sha’Carri is 22 and you say she has “a very limited future.” You cannot know this. What do you even mean? She is 22. She probably won’t become President but I would prefer her athletic future to Tuohy’s, although neither is precisely known at this juncture. Sha’Carri could become an Olympic medalist. Tuohy has very little chance of that.

Well Daniel Komen isn't any part of this conversation, is he. Also, name an Olympics Daniel Komen didn't compete in because he smoked pot. You went back to the 90's just to come up with something to say to me. 😄 This would be fun and quick if I play. Who else ya got?

You are, of course, right about me not knowing about her future. I am not Nostradamus. I do work with a lot of people and those who have certain personality traits (similar to Sha'Carri) have trouble maintaining the focus and attention to detail needed to succeed in their fields. But yes, she might surprise us. That would be great!
You are also right that her slew of 10.7 and 10.8 times put her in a unique position to medal at the highest level if she can get the rest of her life sorted out. But nobody on this message board thinks she can do that based on how she has acted the last two years. We might all be wrong though...
p.s. You wrote that "Tuohy has very little chance of [becoming a medalist]" but as you said, "you cannot know this."

You played yourself. There isn't a single non-Sha'Carri fan who would say this nonsense. I actually think you are equal parts a Sha'Carri fan and a Tuohy hater. Makes sense why you would compare them, as there really isn't another legitimate reason to be comparing them in the first place.

You are biased so you cannot see that Sha’Carri is much more accomplished in athletics than Tuohy. I am not a fan. Way too intelligent and mature to be a fan. A fan is short for fanaticism and I am indifferent. I don’t care about either one which is why my takes are invariably on the money and you Tuohy fanatics get so triggered.

I must strongly refute your statement that European and African runners are unaware of Katelyn Tuohy, as it is completely baseless and untrue. Tuohy's performances and potential have also been widely discussed and praised by running experts and fans across the globe. Therefore, it is essential that we acknowledge Tuohy's significant impact and global recognition in the running community.

If you were honest and you stated you were attracted to one woman more than the other, there would be nothing to discuss.
This thread is about which athlete is better in their best event: S R, 7th ALL-TIME, 100m dash; K T, 515th all-time, 5000m.
a 20 year old white girl Katelyn Tuohy rankles you.
Chacari could retire now or not we absolutely dont give a single fk. She's a laughing stock. You're using Katelyn Tuohy to make Chacarri relevant but Im sorry, you cant save her.
Racism is alive and well. You must be so proud of yourself.
And here lies the truth. Sha’Carri is so much better than Katelyn, to the point that any arguments to the contrary warrant scathing derision.
The truth is that this is a laughably stupid thread pushed by people who know nothing about either sprinting or distance running.
You post this because the thread’s subject offends your sensibilities. You adore Katelyn. I know more about the sport than you and it is not close. Although the sport is not exactly rocket science.
We know she can run faster in a 200 or less race, but can she throw? If like to see her throw a baseball or football. The is a great measure of body coordination; some people are just natural athletes and seem to be “ born” with the great muscle and body coordination to do these things.
what about balance?
Im not sure who is the better athlete. Id say the person who is good in many different arhletic endeavors is a better athlete than someone who is great in one, but mediocre or worse in the rest.
