Allyson Felix NOT Running 150m this weekend at Arcadia

My god Wejo! Don't you know that she's a mother. She has far more pressing things than to dust Rojo in a 150. You really should do some research into the personal lives of athletes. How else can you draw viewers to meets that are telecast?

Are you sure? I haven't heard anything about her being a mom.

Is it because no one wanted to shell out money for a ridiculous idea?

Elle Purrier St. Pierre grew up as a dairy farmer

I bet she's 1) injured or 2) didn't want to get beat by some random dude.

how many guys in the US could beat her over150M?

I assume she could run 11.5 for 100 and 22.5 for 200m in April.

per WA, in 2021, there were 100 US women who, on their best day, could run 11.50 or better (wind legal, electrically timed)

per WA in 2021 there were this many US men who, on their best day, could run (wind legal, electrically timed):

at or under 10.0: 14

at or under 10.5: 216

at or under 11.00: 1,450

Extrapolating to 11.50 with a polynomial curve yields 15201 men which is 0.024% of US males aged 15-44.

Of course no one capable of beating her is going to participate, but that's besides the point.

I think I could get close to her at 500, maybe beat her at 600, and probably beat her at 800. I'll save my money...

She has more global medals than the entire US distance crew have ever earned, all-time.

No one donated.

If true, that's a hell of a stat. Although there are no distance relays so the numbers are a bit skewed. Regardless, credit where credit is due.

I agree with this. Many more opportunities to win medals with relays. Tho I’m sure someone will do the math to feel important.
Full disclosure-I do think she’s had an amazing career.
And did you know she’s a mom?

I'd rather donate $600 to Suzy FH and not have to perform in public.

And I can't believe she is a mother!
