Athing Mu had a TORN Hamstring + her team wants the Trials systems overhauled to protect stars

oh well... that race is way over, so whatever...

My advice to her:

rest

ice

compression

elevation

Terrible if true. But I don't believe everything I'm told.

Sounds like the hamstring tear was irrelevant as she was able to run the heats fine and felt good by her own admission.

If an injury does come in the way of someone’s trials performance, then how are we to know the same risk won’t rear up at the Olympics itself? On the other hand, it’s also possible even if less likely that one of the selected three gets injured between now and the Olympics, but that is easy to address by having a fourth, backup delegate at USATF’s discretion that only gets to run if one of the selected three gets injured in the intervening period.

Kersee the "genius" made her race on a still healing torn hamstring??

IMPEACH KERSEE

She’s going to elevate up her shoes for the season.

Can I add:

change

coach

Exactly.

Irrelevant.

You don’t know anything. My hammy was strained. Not torn. I could run but it was painful. I don’t even think it hurt my performance. But every morning it hurt more. I eventually had to take a significant time off for the pain to be gone. So yes you can run on a strain, but I doubt you can run on a tear. It was probably strained, but she ran until it teared.

She could not run on a torn hamstring let alone race on it. Silly.

The US trials system is great. Kersee wants us to have a political brawl like the Australian marathon feud.

There’s literally a video of her using a scooter on May 16th

What do you expect here to do, save it for Zurich?

How do you tear your hamstring not running 800s?

This is how she tore the hamstring, wearing elevated platform shoes on the runway for our Spring '24 fashion show.

The stupidity here is ubiquitous.

This just proves what ive been saying all along. 2024 akins is our best medal chance.
