Athing Mu’s body language pre- and post-race, interview afterwards and Instagram post about the race all indicate that she dealt with some issue during the World Championships. Any ideas what she was going through?
For reference, her IG post says “…just know I had to fight a major battle with myself to get this one.” Brandon Miller commented “People don’t know what you had to overcome.”
Not enough tainted burgers? Exposed as being not all that?
Post-covid fatigue. Especially after rounds.
Perty sure it was that, because you could see she was a bit off in the heats and pushed hard for the final. She had it end of May and skipped Pre so it lines up right.

According to the SAFP thread, that makes a woman faster.
scared of embarrassment, she knew she was not as fast as last year .. keely will win the next time they face off
I initially thought it might have been bad menstrual cramps or something related to her period, hence her reluctance to go into detail in the post race interviews, but those Instagram quotes make it seem like something else. Though if it was post COVID fatigue why not just say so.
It was more likely something psychological. She is very young and folks have no idea what pressure she may feel.
