Lots of interesting things in this ons incluing her thoughts about the race, whether she's worried about the haters, whether she might return to Jerry, etc. Houlihan also reveals that Nikki Hiltz reached out to her after Hitlz calling Houlihan " homophobic" became well known.

Thanks for this excellent interview (and the others as well). A little disappointed that you didn’t ask any of my questions from the “What Questions Do You Want Us to Ask Shelby Houlihan?” thread, especially the 2nd and 3rd paragraph of my post. :-) I guess we’re not crowdsourcing interview questions.
I noticed that KT gave her a little congratulatory tap on the shoulder during the interview.
Shelby looks different to me, slightly emaciated and less muscular than she did before. Of course she is aging and her extreme leanness makes her look almost 40.
Letsrun, you need to mandate that your interviewers have mics for the athletes. Not even Gault brings one to his local BU meets. The audio is always so trash and it's hard to hear them. They're like 50 bucks. Please step it up.

Shelby got Nikki's pronouns right the whole time. Did better than Rojo. I suspect Nikki regrets the homophobic comment on the no-name LGBT hair-dressing podcast. It was probably based on hearing second hand comments and not first hand interactions, and Nikki had no idea a Letsrun person would have found it. Good on them for working it out together. Think this is a good rivalry for the sport. Former doper and woke warrior, but both personable. Will be fun to watch these two fight it out on the track.

It was absurd that some idiotic Letsrun mod was the one who created a whole thread about it.

I agree. Interesting to see her body transformation from college, pre-ban and post-ban.
I give her maybe two more years of relevancy given how she looks now.
I am glad for her. Whatever your guess about what happened—mine is some gray-area supplements widely used by elites had unexpectedly high amounts—she paid a big price. She clearly went through some very dark times. And now she finally gets to do what she loves at the highest levels again, and the joy is evident. It’s easier to demonize people when we don’t see and hear from them, so hopefully her presence back on the scene will spur compassion and forgiveness.

cringe gault just digging digging for some controversy, saying "she [nikki] said some prettttttty.... provocative things" (and shelby having to correct him over and over by respectfully saying "they", proving it's not difficult to do], commenting over and over about the the expected negativity when shelby has explain it ad nauseam, her answer continues to be the same, what more can she add, what exactly do you want from her? i get that letsrun is run more like a tabloid but using houlihan to increase board engagement over negativity rojo and his team are forcing/ helping to generate seems woefully irresponsible

That was rojo doing the interview not gault

“Gray-area supplements” that somehow got contaminated with f$cking DECA….an anabolic steroid? Like do you hear what you’re saying?
It doesn’t matter how sketchy a supplement manufacturer is, it is absolutely absurd to even consider that an anabolic steroid could somehow “slip” into production.
I’m being 100% serious when I say that the burrito excuse is more valid than claiming she somehow bought supplements laced with DECA. Give me a break.
I've never been a shelby fan, but I really, really appreciate the joy that she finds in running. vs some other people who seem burdened to have been graced by god with amazing running talent.
I also appreciate her for showing up to these championships and not having any hesitation about competing at worlds, unlike so many other highly ranked American runners. After missing out on the last four years of her career, Shelby understands more than anyone what a special honor it is to represent the USA in international competition. She’s grateful to have that opportunity again.
