Our female distance runners in the 1500/mile just suck tbh. Forget Kenya and Ethiopia. We get beat the UK and Ireland.

Glad to have won you over to Team Wiley! I wish there were more transparency in pro running contracts like there are in NBA and NFL ones so that you would all know how wrong you are and how right I am. Multiple offers. It’s like the 2021 Housing Market in her agents office right now, I assure you. Any shoe exec concerned about having a medal winner in the next decade is figuring out how to maximize their offer and make it stand out among the others. The number they started at and where they are now are in different leagues. But its terms over dollars with Wiley. When Addy finally announces her deal rest assured she will get every concession she wants. And the winning shoe company will feel as though they got a bargain after Paris and LA!

You are confused. We are talking about sponsorships. Those aren't public for pro athletes. That would be like an NBA player telling you how much their Nike contract is worth.

If it gets her out of college running, great. But imagine involving yourself in scandal to go pro at all costs, only to get annihilated by the rest of the world.

You must not follow the NBA. We do know what the majority of people get for their shoe deals. Just google what Michael Jordan makes off of his line of Jumpman gear. It’s a far more transparent marketplace than pro running. Running should be better as the shoe deals are also the teams in running. But it benefits shoe companies to keep much of their contract details private as it suppresses overall contract values.

No one should be hating Addy Wiley. Other people, definitely, but she's just a kid.
Wiley will be 20 years old in a few weeks. Seems like Wiley is well past the point of being a "kid".
20 year olds are children

I doubt most would refer to Erriyon Knighton as a child, and he is younger. A lot if this 'child' talk is because she is female.

If a 19 year old American at 1:57/3:59 has no chance, no American should get a contract.
Ok, but really - stop counting age with precise date. She is not U20 this year. She is 20.
Mu and Hodgkinson ran 1:55 when a year younger - last year U20 = 19. A few months from January to December :) doesn't matter. They went the same school path level.

I don’t know who that is but if they are 20 or younger, they’re a child.

I challenge you to list 5 sponsorships with the amount.

Jenny Simpson got 1 million a year long term from New Balance over a decade ago. that too was a multiple offer situation with the high bidder (New Balance) saying “I’ll double your best offer”.
Addy Wiley beat her mark at a younger age with 3 Olympic Games in the next 9 years. Think about what gas and groceries and housing cost today VS a decade ago.
I hope they make the final numbers and terms public. Until then you have to use logic. No one shares real numbers mid negotiation with the public.

You claimed that NBA players disclose their sponsorship deals. Provide 5. You can't. Running is the same as every other sport.
