Prime Athing Mu would have won Paris 800m

Prime Mu is slower than Prime Keely

Mu takes it out hard and Keely does to her what Kerr did to Jakob last year... only she kicks at 700 to a world record

Nope, Keely ran faster this year than Athing ever has. that final was tactical on purpose. she ran 58/58 even splits and controlled the race. thing of Beauty.

Prime Hodgkinson would have beaten both tonight's Hodgkinson and prime Mu.

Use a time machine to kidnap prime Phoebe Gill from 2026ish and she'd beat every one of tonight's field plus prime Mu.

go away

Yes; and prime ETH, SAFP and Jackson would've gone 1-2-3 in the 100 metres. But that ultimately doesn't matter since they were injured. Injuries are simply a part of the sport. Keely fully deserved her gold since she was the best 800m runner in the world tonight and should be celebrated for that

Your racism is not going to help you here.

Keely has the faster PB and didn't place 5th at a lower tier meet in 2 flat this year.

Athing Mu is more talented and PRIME Athing owns Keely. Keely can only win Gold without Athing Mu there.

Prime Mu would have faceplanted.

Keely for the mf win. Maybe Mu watched it on television.

The Brit looked great and in control. Mu's last 2 races were not like that at all. And you can race against who have qualified. Rules MU out doesn't it.

A prime me would have won it too

Prime Kratochvilova would smoke Mu and Hodgkinson

Prime Mu hasn't been with us since Eugene last year.

But she wasn’t there. Not making it to the start line of a competition especially the Olympics means that you’ve already lost.

Not if prime Caster Semenya was there.

If you take both of their 800m careers until now, Keely has had the better overall career. Olympic Gold, 2x Olympian, Silver in 2020, 2022, and 2023.

Mu has gold in 2020 and 2022 but bronze in 2023 and didn't even qualify in 2024. Can't blame the fall because she followed up with a stinker of a race after that.

Keely's 800 career is better than Mu's.

This isn't factoring in 4x4 gold, where Mu ran a fast time but was guaranteed to win that relay because USA was dominant. Just talking 800m career here.

Not sure we've seen either one at their prime yet. I'd love to see them both at the top of their game for LA2028.

One thing we know is that Mu has immense talent, however she has to get the mental side right and change coaches and the training location/facility, then we could see an assault on the 800M WR.

Look forward to seeing them fight it out for second place behind Phoebe!
