Jordan Hasay is officially a flash in the pan

I think she still holds usatf youth records. How is that a flash in a pan?

Not to mention her name may be mentioned on this DB more times than any runner in history.

Aren't youth records that aren't followed up by collegiate and pro records - or at least major championships - a pretty good example of "flash in a pan"? As for Wojo saying she had an amazing college and professional career, again, how is a lack of individual major championships "amazing"? She had a very good career, and if she had been an unheralded walk on, maybe "amazing" would apply, but not in this case.

That's fair, but then why single out Hasay?

Or Hunter for that matter.

There are many runners but if HASAY is 5 minutes off her PR, or HUNTER loses to Grijalva by a second or two, there is a whole thread or threads addressing that.

That's what I mean.

Then people invariably attack what was expected versus now.

I hope they learn to be better by the time Katelyn Tuohy and Grace Ping reach Hasay's age.

Because she is the subject of the thread. We're not talking about anyone else. We speculate whether she's through running competitive times and why she might be through. And, she is most definitely underweight. Might be the cause of her poor form lately.

Okay...flash in a pan as a pro is more like it.

Who cares about 13-14 year old records?

Ha. Funny.

But you bring up an interesting point.

Harassment of Britney led to a major breakdown years ago, and it is happening again.

Letsrun won't stop until they do what Derek did to Frank.

Then, they will probably just laugh.

Kettle pot.

You harass people on lrc every day.

I feel like StoppitSmith is some kind of weird sockpuppet to make liberal posters look bad.

Stoppit, if you're not and you are a liberal, you are making liberal posters look bad, so please bear (grr) that in mind. You are saying things that are pretty extreme... maybe slow down a little bit? Hope you are OK anyway.

No. Eli Krahn. Flash. Grace Ping. Flash. Hasay? The opposite. She is on a major professional contract that probably provided her enough money that she can live off of the savings for the rest of her life. She is one of the fastest Americans in history.

Leave her alone. She’s a young runner just trying to compete in her chosen sport. Let her be....

Jordan Hasay is one of my favorite runners. She always will be. The marathon is a severe event. I'm sure the realities of what's going on are more interesting than what get's speculated about here. I'd like to hear the story in time from Jordan. And continue to watch her try and watch her grow. On a bad day she still kicks most of letsrun's ass. And clearly if she did not get hurt, that wasn't much of a bad day. Just another test to move forword from. With quite possibly better health than she had following either Chicago or the trials. She's gonna rise again.

Didn’t the high school chick a few weeks ago run not much slower than Jordan can run?

You cannot have a coach on the other side of the pond. Look at that guy who she goes on runs with and that strength trains her. I don't think he knows anything about running. Salazar was a drug cheat but he did coach her well. She needs a real coach.

This is not a surprise to me.

Perhaps showing up when it counts should be her focus, instead of silly dancing videos of her in Valencia the day before the marathon.

Don’t recall seeing any of the winners posting silly dance videos; could it be they were there to take the race serious?

On the women's marathon: Peres Jepchirchir<-- Is Peres a traditional Kenyan name?

What a stupid question.

No, it's isn't.

Neither is Geoffrey, Winston, Paul or any other colonial name.

I would be very interested in this sort of story . In the rare case that letsrun was capable of collecting information. Who the f is Bryan Quigley? And why the f does she believe in him?

Athletes develop - peak - decline at different ages . Hassay is physically done , like some elite swimmers done by age 24 . Plus , AlSal giving workouts through unproven coach Paula , is sinking the ship at a faster rate .

Everyone should remember that every elite athlete is a human with feelings. In the past few years, Jordan has lost her Mom, lost her coach, changed coaches, and had a serious hamstring injury and foot injuries. Through all of this, she's continued to be a positive person and share the highs and lows. She is still young and could comeback. We should encourage her and not continue to kick her while she's down. Have some compassion. You are human too.

Yes, you'll eventually be stopped as you don't own this site. I've defended Jordan Hasay more that once on this site, but I just made one comment and let it go---you've made it your life.

As others have said, you've harassed people on letsrun, so there's that.

Your mission shows your major insecurities and nothing more. You are merely a spec of dust trying to become something more....again, insecurities?

I met Jordan at the Trials and watched her during the race. She had injuries and struggled, it happens.

Your "mission" is nothing but a personal way of stroking your own ego. Jordan is fine and "should" eventually get to where she was a couple years ago.

Go to a hospital and visit kids with Cancer, then you'll really appreciate life instead of worrying about some crap anonymous trolls say about Jordan on a forum.

Newsflash: Jordan is a bright young lady and would not waste her time here or get hurt by an anonymous hobby jogger's comments, give her credit for being smarter than that.

Enjoy your bantering back and forth with complete strangers in an attempt to change their minds or stop them from saying mean comments about Jordan (again, she doesn't care).

You really seem like you have some serious issues. Is this truly because Hillary Clinton, the crook, didn't win in 2016? Someone mentioned that but I'm not here as much as you are, so I don't know your whole story...nor do I care;)

Most inaccurate tagline ever,...

The first lets run post mentioning Hasay is from 16 years ago and after that 19580 posts found with "Jordan Hasay".

Now its 2020 and she is still headlining posts. Thats a pretty long "flash", better headline might be "washed up" but Jordan's been a feature discussion point probably longer than any female athlete in the history of lets run....

Ummm . . . ever heard of Suzy Favor Hamilton?

Youth record setter. 18 time all-American. Three 3rd place finishes at major marathons. 2nd fastest US marathoner ever.

You are making yourself look silly.
