I don't think Elle would pose nude for ESPN's Body issue like Emma did. Just sayin'.

A medal right there. And also probably a pr.

Dude, she’s world champion and an Olympic medalist. What else do you want?
For starters, she needs to break the word record on a cinder track while wearing 1960's style trainers. She must not consume ANYTHING except food; even the use of supplements are cause for discrediting her performances. There can be no use of a pacer and certainly no "pace lights." She must pass daily drug tests for at least six months prior to her races. Training at any altitude over 100 feet is prohibited. The track must be accurately measured to the millimeter on the day of the meet and remeasured after the race to be sure it didn't shorten during the day due to any tectonic activity. An anemometer must be mounted on a golf cart that drives beside her throughout the race and it must read 0.0 the entire time; if the wind reached 0.1 at any point her race is a sham.
If these conditions are met, then, and only then, will her races be legitimate.
Or, on second thought, someone will probably criticize her for chewing gum during the race.

I'd like to see her mental. The medal side of sport.

I don't care if she comes last; I'd prefer the cameras to focus on her than some 8.44 juicer.

Classic Emma.. needs to develop some toughness and develop a kick... she stayed at 68, while Purrier dropped a 63.. so all those 5-seconds in the last 400m... those speed sessions she's doing with Jones and Magee just aren't working.
Idk about this -- She lost to someone with a 4:16 mile pb. Just gonna guess that the 3k medalists this year will all have slower PBs there. Not sure what the last lap conversion would be in the steeple but 2016 closed in a 70, 2017 in a 68, and 2019 in a 70. 2016 & 2019 were a bit faster from the gun/more even. Coburn ran a season opener under the AR for 2 miles & showed the kind of strength needed for her main event. I don't think we need to be so quick to critique, especially after a pretty solid run.

It is interesting to see the criticism of a steepler by someone who's probably proven they could be an upper-level world class miler. When Jager gets beat by a Centrowitz at 1500/mile.....there is no "analysis" of what this says about Jager. And no, Purrier is not Centrowitz, but again, she's a STEEPLER. That matters.

Runners don't develop a kick; it is a function effects of the pace up to the point where a race becomes decided. We had a guy that ran 4:38/4:24 at the section meet and 4:27/4:35 at state. In our section, there was a 8:55 2-miler and the 2nd best guy had a best of 9:10. He would sit on the pace and win with a ferocious kick at our local meets but at the state meet, he couldn't kick after a 4:28 opening mile.
There is no possible kick development training for a 4:00 miler to kick off of a 3:00 1320.
