Ummmm... ever heard of Faith Kipyegon?

Who?

Look I love Faith and enjoy watching her compete and dominate the 1500 but until she gets on the roads and puts down a 1:04/2:12.. Sifan is the GOAT. Faith is the best on the track but in terms of range… no.

And she's done the range within the same year. She hasn't exclusively moved to the marathon. It's hard to put in perspective how good she is without following what she's done in each year.

Faith Kipyegon is impressive but only faster than Hassan in 3 distances (1500, mile, 5000). Hassan also has more championship medals and 2 world major marathons. The most impressive about Hassan is her crazy range (7th fastest 1500 and 2nd fastest marathon) which in my opinion, combined with her medals, makes her the GOAT.
Remember only 6/7 weeks ago Hassan was competing at the WC in Budapest in 3 distances.

I don't know why everyone keeps comparing Kipyegon to Hissan. They have had very different careers. It's like comparing El G to Geb.

GOAT = Greater of All Times?
You obviously are trying to plagiat the history.

Be fair and recognize the true Ethiopians and Kenyans...

Not a single world record. She’s unquestionably the most versatile distance runner ever. But you need at least one world record to be the GOAT.

And only 4 gold medals? Not nearly enough. She loses more than she wins. GOAT application DENIED!

Proof !

She had the 10k world record for... a day or so

Oh and the mile

A runner of Ethiopian descent programmed by a greedy Dutch brain.

Think what would have happened if Gudaf TSEGAY or Letesenbet GIDEY were programmed by an American brain.

EXACTLY!

While Faith Kipyegon will surpass her achievements while Gudaf Tsegay is the runner who races by far most beautifully of all women!

Apart from the very few million native Americans all Americans are of foreign descent.

She has the one hour run world record.

She spreads herself too thin among the distances, which make it near to impossible to also be at a WR level for each distance. Today she ran the 2nd fastest marathon of all time with only 6 weeks of dedicated preparation after Budapest. She likes the variety. If she wants a WR she definitely can get it.

She needs to if she wants a valid GOAT application. If you are in your prime and not the world record holder in a major championship event, you are by definition not the GOAT.
