Desi needs to retire, she had two good marathons in her life one 20 mi/hr tailwinds and the win due to other marathoners basically died during the race so just pure luck. Don’t know why people try to see her as an amazing elite athlete. She can probably run an equivalent to 2:30 at most on a flat course very pathetic that’s why she only runs Boston.
Time to retire.
There's an element of luck in a lot of marathon success. You could argue that Seidel only has a medal because Salpeter had period cramps. Ultimately, it's who manages circumstances the best on the day over 26.2 miles. Linden did that in 2018, her win is as legit as any other
