Recognize that the world record is 1:53 and that woman ran 47.99. A thing of course will never break 49 seconds so she would need superior endurance to crack 1:53. Even the mention of it is absurd.
Recognize that 1:53 and 47.99 were run by male-T athletes. They shouldn’t even be mentioned in relation to Mu at this point.
I agree BUT that is why it is silly to talk about her breaking their records.
The example was Kelsey. You are saying a 19 year old college girl is doping? Your post is disgusting because I know Karissa. How does accusing someone of wrongdoing have anything to do with education? Sounds more like ignorance on your part.

I am wasting my time interacting with an ignorant tool like you. You have no knowledge of this sport if you think she can run 1:52.

Let me guess, you thought that chinese WR in women 1500m gonna stand forever?
Or maybe Bekeles 5k and 10k records?
Athing Mu almost has the speed required for sub 1:53. She will have mostly to work on her strength. Anything is possible and if anyone can do it it would be her.

She reminds me of WJR Pamela Jelimo 1:54.30. HUGE talent and hopefully Athing will stay focused and healthy longer then teenage Olympic 800m Champion Miss Jelimo
They are not the same.

Watching the race yesterday, I thought that she resembled a typical 49/1:51 type male runner in physique and form. I just don't see how she doesn't get down to 1:53 which would be slow for a male with her speed. I realize that women are different but she has the size of a male which makes me think that she will more closely resemble their time ratios.
The 800m math for boys does not work the same for girls. She appears to be in 1:56 shape right now; I can see 1:54 in her future. Obviously, you can't say 1:53 is out of the question for someone who has run 1:54, but 1:51 would only be possible if she becomes a 47x quarter miler.

Why so fast? NS ran 1:42 off of 47x.
So what is the game plan for her going forward? Saw A&M have 3 meets before SEC's. Does she do one more 15 and a couple of 4's and then lay it on the line at SEC's in the 800m? Is the 400m out of the question at this point for SEC's or NCAA's? Possible double if the schedule permits somewhere? Small break to recover? Still a lot if running to do before Olympic Trials.

Sorry, but the comparison with male physiques just doesn't work. You realise she's bigger than Coe, who was a 1.41xx runner?

1.53 is a doped wr that has stood for nearly 40 years. Obviously, no clean athlete has got near it. And never will.

1:57 as a 18 years old college freshman with very little experience in 800m.
In a right race she could go 1:56 this year.
I wouldn’t say very little experience at the event. She’s been running the 800 at national championships since she’s been like 12. It’s not like she’s new to the event.
Her lifetime PR will be 1:53. She will run 1:56.0 this year.
athing looks clean,which is extremely unusual for an american athlete.They usually look like theyre on various cocktails(even the college athletes),but athing is tall,lean,pretty,femenine,and not muscled.Its possible shes on EPO but she shows no sign of steroid use.could she be a born to run once in a lifetime talent?
There is no need to refer to Athing as pretty or not pretty. Do you refer to Nick Symmonds as handsome? Leave your male pig temdencies out of this. Also she probably is clean but your naked eye test is not reliable.
She smashed the collegiate record and only received four short paragraphs. Could be read before she finished her first lap. LR can do better.
There is no need for name calling either.

Very little cognition coming from you.

No, of course not, for the obvious reason that he's not handsome.

OK whatever but some would make arguments about Athing being pretty or not and I am not sure why it should be discussed.
Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?
