not to be a jerk but I am just so relieved Hiltz did not make it.

That will get rid of one non running topic they could bring up. I hope. Let's keep the discussion about running.

I kind of agree. I think if she made it, such a disportionate attention would have been about her being non-binary which doesn't really mean anything as racing is concerned. If she's running in a girl's race, she's not really doing anything extroadinary other than just giving herself a name.

I'm sure some poeple will interpret that as hate, I'd love to be corrected

Great comment! I say this as an atheist.

As another atheist, I also agree. True Christians have done many great things throughout history, including the things Aisle53 mentioned. Unfortunately in recent years they have been drowned out by the Christian Taliban who have hijacked the religion.

i've gotta say, her description of being non-binary just sounds like how I've always imagined SOME lesbians. we are just applying different words here. I would say she is just spending too much time thinking about this, over complicating things. SOmetimes you feel girly, and sometimes you feel like a dude? This is nothing. who cares.

At the US Olympic Trials in 2004, Alan Webb became the first athlete to run 1500m on pure hate. Stember’s taunting in the semifinal produced a massive spike in Webb’s Pure Rage Power which he unleashed with devastating effect in the final. Keep in mind that Webb’s Incoherence Threshold was abnormally high, which allowed him to maintain supraphysiological levels of Loathing with minimal side effects beyond accelerated head growth.

The only other athlete to have run 1500m on pure hate is Sifan Hassan. Her experiences as a refugee built up her Rage Capacity and greatly increased her Specific Contempt Index. She has one of the highest Maximum Hatred values ever recorded. Thanks to her background, Hassan was able to channel over 95% of the Pure Hate Energy generated by the Salazar ban in 2019, which was the driving force behind her impossible double in Doha.

Purrier’s run in Eugene on Monday was impressive, but there is nothing to suggest it was fueled by pure hate.

this "pure hate" idea has not aged very well now has it? embarrassing - to say the least.

Never thought a post I made two years ago would have haters
