I think the worst take I've ever seen on Letsrun was you saying that Athing Mu showed her true greatness by dropping out of the Millrose mile.

You're saying that Mu actually going for the win completely out of her element against a 4:16 miler as a 48-49/1:55 woman and falling short of it about 300m shy of the finish being completely gassed is a worse take than suggesting our best high schoolers are comparable to another young but slightly older athlete that already has a world record to his name.
Kiplimo as of age 21 has
Olympic bronze
World half marathon title
World junior record 10k
World junior xc champion
3k national record 7:26
12:48 5k
When he was 16 he was already a sub 13:20 guy. You guys are comparing guys who's current 5k level is around 13:45-14:00 to a guy who was a good 40 seconds faster than them at the same age
The latter take is definitely arguably one of the worse takes on this site.
