btw, do you guys consider her 2021 diamond league win a major trophy? Is it bigger than a gold in the commonwealth games?
No, a CG title (in a competitive event) is bigger to me even if the DL win may be more difficult to get in some cases. With Moraa, Goule, Muir and Reekie the CG women's 800m title was a pretty big deal a la the men's 1500.
Yes, Keely hasn't been bad this season at all, and I'd say any event change makes no sense. It's worth noting the top 3 in the 1500 are ridiculously good to boot. She's just barely missed gold on 2 occasions this year. If it were to happen again, it'd probably mean something went wrong tactically or physically considering the field.
The distance is extremely difficult. What she did is already a breakthrough in the British athletics. She has time to get her chances if she persevere.
(Who know Athing could be injured or in loss of form at some point)

Or the other ladies just being slightly better. Maybe she is a 3:53 runner in the wrong event. But I doubt that. I like her chances of being a 1:55 runner more than that.
She was the second best in the world for the last two years and she's only just turned 20. Jake Wightman and Laura Muir were 28 by the time they won their first global medals. I think Hodgkinson will be fine and has time on her side. If she's fit, Euros will be fairly easy for her. Muir can keep her honest, but Keely is too strong

Too big? No way! How big do you think she is?
Lol exactly...she's not that big. Have you guys seen McColgan? I've actually stood next to her though. I think she's 5'8? MAYBE 5'9. Mu makes her look 5'4 though.
