Athing Mu - “Brightest Star”

Only distance runner to bring home a medal. LRC can stay mad.

One race 3 years ago = “track’s brightest star?” I don’t think so 😄

Brightest star? Maybe a shooting star. Now you see it - now you don’t.

Thank you!!!

She’s of the same group that is now thw majority when it comes to TV commercials. Of course the bolsheviks will tey and shove down everyone’s throats.

Track's "Halley's Comet" might be more appropriate.

She broke the AR last year. She won the world title 2 years ago.

Distance? 🤣

Also 2 years ago?

The one she lost?

A decent article, lightly touching on Mu's struggles with (social) media attention post-Tokyo Olympics and finally getting her mind right ahead of Paris. Unfortunately, it reads like it was written six months ago, not this week. The piece reveals no current training/workout details (excusable--this is SI, not LRC) and doesn't inquire why she hasn't raced at all this year, despite being described as "transformed" in Dec 2024.

correction: Dec 2023.

She lost the 2022 world championships in which she won gold?

Good article on Mu, do not be surprised if she dips under 1:54, she has immense talent and if she is in a good place mentally we could see something very special.

She looks like one of the Wakanda female warriors, the Dora Milaje.

If she's the brightest track star, what is Sha'ccari Richardson?

What is Femke Bol?

What is Sydney McLaughlin?

What is Gudaf Tsegay?

What is Beatrice Chebet?

What is Faith Kipyegon?

What is .....

Even Keeley Hodgkinson has had a good season.
