So this is what Americans are left to be proud of, someone who will never make an Olympic finals, who can beat a field of nobody’s? Keely, Jemma and A thing are shaking
A gold medal is a gold medal. They aren’t worth more or less based on the finishing time. Ajeé Wilson is now a world champion, and there is nothing you can say or write that will diminish her fantastic achievement. Deal with it.
You can only race against the people who are there, not against the people who aren't there.
Ajee Wilson ran in her country's qualification meet, others didn't. Ajee Wilson stayed healthy, others didn't. And Ajee Wilson won the gold medal, others didn't.
I'm betting Ajee Wilson has a winning record against 98 percent of elite 800 runners not named Semenya or Niyonsaba. She just got hurt last year prior to the trials. Didn't want to talk about it and she prefers to just show up and compete. What more do you guys want?
She has 6 global medals I believe. She's always been a legit a contender.
I'd have her do nothing. Wilson won in a slow year. That was all I said. SLOW YEAR.
By having her do nothing you mean stay home? So you would rather have a world 800 final with no Americans than one where an American won - even if was a really, really slow and "meaningless" race with no competition. Ok, then.

Javman doesn't like Ajee Wilson and keeps picking on her for no good reason. Javman is not interested in being logical.

Ajee Wilson now has 5 global medals - The last 5 world championships in a row.
2016 - Indoor Silver (behind a person with testes)
2017 - Outdoor Bronze (behind 2 people with testes)
2018 - Indoor Silver (behind a person with testes)
2019 - Outdoor Bronze
2022 - Indoor Gold
If it wasn't for people with testes, Ajee Wilson would have won 4 out of the last 5 world championships!
In all the global championships in the last 6 years she has only missed out on medaling in the 2016 Olympics, where she got beat out for the 2 automatic qualifying spots by 2 people with testes. And the 2021 Olympics when she was injured.
Ajee Wilson is one of the best 800 meter runners with ovaries of all time!
