Why is Cooper so popular esp on these forums compared to Nuguse, even though Nuguse has shown he has more talent and a higher ceiling?
Cooper Teare was better in HS (4:00/8:41) and also gained a relatively large following during Covid from youtube videos. These boards love their HS phenoms, there is a reason Nico gets talked about way more than someone like Dylan Jacobs, even though Jacobs has 2 NCAA titles now.
Nuguse also had the drama around the olympics with his injury and DNS'ing instead of dropping out earlier to maybe let someone else in. Unfortunate situation all around though.

I'm not sure why you are getting mass downvoted for this, since he was crucified on these boards for the DNS at the time.
As some people have alluded to, Cooper's been around longer--more high profile in college and even high school. I don't think anyone expected Nuguse to be such an outstanding pro, so more casual fans might be less aware of him.
In any case, both very likable runners with bright futures ahead!
Nuguse is very popular here and rightly so, but too good natured and successful to bring the criticism the boards thrive on, with the exception of when he was injured in 2021.
Nugoosy is someone to look out for, Teare is one of those guys they don't even show crossing the finish line because the winners are celebrating by then.
Newgen videos during covid made Teare very popular with younger fans
No wonder the goose is doing much better than the other Americans. He seems more concerned with training, running fast and winning than getting fanboy attention online.

Youtube warriors love Nico, even though has not close to lived up to the hype. He keeps getting surpassed by his own team mates. He doesn't even have a NIL deal, yet Nico fanboys keep saying 'Just wait'
