From a pure athletic standpoint, why wouldn't she race? That's what it's all about. Too bad that for her it's about money, athletes love to compete at least that used to be the case. You never know what the future holds, don't waste it.
Do you think she is a frickin robot? Jacobs said he is done for the year. Others have said the same. The mother of all sport happened just two weeks ago and she supposed to be racing again? You people need to get a life. If other athletes want to race, fine for them. If others don't want to race for the rest of the year, that's dang fine as well.
Sifan raced and she should not have done; same for Muir and others as they looked exhausted.
Give it a rest or get yourself some spikes and go compete.
Exactly.... this argument makes sense for distance runners entering some Rock N Roll races where they can just tempo it, win, and get some recognition (still don't know why more of them don't) Syd is already one of the most recognizable track stars, there's nothing for her to gain in racing this.
