She has done quite well on the roads, but ever heard of Jordan Hasay? I think her 5,000 PR is about 15:28. Rather pedestrian. But she has really done great on the roads.

One ended up an Olympic Champion, and the other an Olympic bronze medalist. Both are accomplished.

DId anyone ever accuse them of doping?
Sydney the Queen.
Sydney McLaughlin. She's accomplished, but not to the level of hype.

That was way back when somebody actually cared about the decathlon. Can anyone here name 3 of the top heptathletes in the world?

She is a track athlete? I thought she was just an Instagram model.
You guys are lame. Sydney is the number two performer all time in the 400m hurdles and won silver and gold at the 2019 WC. That’s pretty accomplished.

The person who said McLaughlin is an idiot.

+2. Way overhyped and prima donna. Dalilah kicked her a-ss when it counts.
If we are going by notoriety / accomplishment ratio, it has to be Ragen Chastain.
sydney is hyped because she's amazing at a young age. she's lived up to it.
Jakob Ingebrigtsen - great runner, good results at the very weak European level, great times, but the hype is too much.
Abubaker Kaki - don't know if still a current athlete but he was supposed to be the next Rudisha...
Tinman Elite - obvious.
Anyone "coached" by JS - huge hype but it's hard to get any results when you don't exist.
