Today , Emma shuts it down, Cory on vacation , and the recreational elite teammates Aisha Praught-Leer , and that girl from south africa really got rattled by BTC and Pete's Group in Tokyo . Team Boss has no interest in the Diamond League the rest of 2021.
This post was removed.
There is a Kate Grace sized whole in your analysis. 2nd behind Mu last week, but with Mu ending her season already, Grace has a decent shot at winning the Diamond League final in September.
Leer had knee surgery and most of the BTC women threw in the towel after Tokyo and Pre. Please stop make up crap. Team Boss doesn't give a rat's ass about BTC.
Some good points here if you completely disregard the Team Boss member still racing (Grace) and the multiple BTC members who aren’t (Fraser, Hall, Lumong? Kincaid, Schweizer). Heck, we might as well throw in McGordy if you’re counting Praught-Leer.
Fisher and Ahmed are cashing checks in the Diamond League. Who else is doing anything worthwhile right now?
The Nike shock wave of allowing other shoe company's like NB use unbranded DragonFly's , is like a gut punch to groups like the Boss group . Gerry and Pete really had the timing correct for Tokyo . The full NB distance team, emma, Cory, Heather and Purrier looked off .

What..? lol
NB doesn’t use unbranded Dragonfly’s. lol Some athletes seem to even prefer NB’s super spikes, which they developed with Emma Coburn in 2019.
Pete “had the timing correct for Tokyo” which is why Engels and Brazier were on the coach stateside???
Idk who “Gerry” is, but Jerry Schumacher’s athletes were a bit of a mixed bag in Tokyo.
Coburn didn’t race well in the final, but looked fine in the rounds. McGee was doing the best racing of her career until she got taken down in the rounds. MacLean likewise was doing the best racing of her career — it wasn’t enough to get to the Olympic final. How that makes New Balance look bad when no other brand could beat them at the Trials is beyond me.
Purrier was a bit disappointing; rumor is there was an injury involved. She actually didn’t race too poorly in the final but the top of the field was on another level.
In any event, Team Boss isn’t even a “New Balance group.” They have a few NB athletes (Coburn, McGee, Jones) along with other brands, including Nike (Grace).
0/10 post. F for acknowledge. B- for trolling if that’s the intended effect.
Typos, apologies:

You're making excuses for others in NewBalance . Who is the troll . BTC and Pete's group brought home medals and Kate did better with BTC . McGee caused the trip and they let her through .

Julian’s athletes won one (1) medal, Rodgers’s bronze.
BTC won two (2) medals, Ahmed’s silver and Frierichs’s silver.
If Coburn had had an average race in Tokyo, this would be a ridiculous debate. None of these groups were blowing anyone away in Tokyo.
I noticed you completely ignored all the nonsense you were spewing about NB athletes running in Nike spikes, because it was total nonsense you either made up or misunderstood.
You are confirming what I said . BTC and Pete dominated NB and the poor Olympic lead up by the Boss group. That one gal from the Boss middle distance group ran over 5 minutes in the pre-lim 1500's.

lol, also: “Kate did better with BTC” which is why she’s blown the doors off of her PRs several times over since moving to Team Boss.
You’re just speaking nonsense.
Kate ran well weeks after the trials , and the top tier were not racing , but focused on Tokyo.What ever peaking schedule team Boss had for her , was wrong . Plus Olympics are "race " and Kate's time trial diamond league events mean little . BTC would have had her on the start line in Tokyo.

The slowest any woman ran in the 1500m prelims in Tokyo was 4:59, including Team Boss’s Aisha Praught-Leer, who ran 4:15 on a torn meniscus.
https://olympics.com/tokyo-2020/olympic-games/en/results/athletics/olympic-schedule-and-results.htmNo one ran anywhere close to 5:00 in the US Trials prelims, so I have no idea what you’re talking about.

lol
BTC couldn’t even get Grace on the start line in Doha when Athing Mu was barely out of high school.
idk.
they're just in different places.
Hope Kate rethinks her failed Boss experiment , get with Pete's group , or ask Jerry and Shalane if she can return. Get full Nike support , and participate in major meets , instead of watching on TV after her coach pulls the rug from under her.

What “major meets” is Kate Grace missing out on? She’s been tearing up the Diamond League, by far the hardest meets to score an invite.
The trolls are losing their finesse.
Neither team really has done very well post Tokyo.

She won the Olympic trials in 2016 and didn’t make a world team or run an 800m PR until joining Team Boss. BTC was clearly not a great fit.
