Let’s say for 2023 worlds, both athletes train for the 400m. Who do you pick for the win, and how fast?

Mu everywhere.

Athing Mu is amazing and I am not going to diminish her by a comparison. Athing Mu is the quality and intensity that American running needs now.

Discuss a comparison later. But let Athing have her own spotlight for ONCE...with no disclaimer.

Tl;dr: stop treating her differently because she was Sudanese.

Yes! Mu for the 800 and Sydney for the 400!

Sydney's record deserves a black page...certainly.

But why bring in a comparison to Mu,who didn't race that distance.

It's racism and if you feel accused, assured I'm accusing.

Absolutely let her have her own spotlight.

let Sydney have her own too.

SEPARATELY!

It's ok to do

it is sad that you can't view anything in life without thinking about race. I should probably just assume this is a troll.

Please do assume that

Because with coach in your name, I'll assume you cheat and give your athletes slippery slope "legal" supps.

And the assumption ain't trolling.

I have a number you can call if you feel like you will hurt yourself or others. Do you need help?

Anyone who accuses people of racism with no evidence should be BANNED permanently.
