It will be funny to see the flimsy defences from the Brits when she breaks Kratochvilova record. "but but but the 800m women record is weak, a clean athlete can totally break it!"
Super impressive. Did you see how well she is coached? She was the only one to take the full 100m between 100 and 200 to get to lane 1. Everyone else ran in too quickly.

Shortest route, yes. Still entirely possible to get boxed in that way though
Not when everybody cuts in after 50m.
you're completely at the mercy of those outside you, even if they cut in sharply and then hold their position outside of you. Have seen it happen literally hundreds of times

had a kenyan done what she just did: TO THE GILLS!
So no one is going to question an all time top 10 performance from an opening effort after an injury??
I mean her injury was back in Jan/Feb.
She trains with Hunter Bell who just ran a 3:56 1500m. If she's been ahead of her on every rep in training then it's not that unbelievable. Erin Wallace in the same training group just ran the 1500m standard too.
As Olympic Champion and part of the M11 track club she's almost certainly getting tested regularly.

Not with Keely (imo.)
Only because this is pretty standard for her. She typically opens her seasons quite fast. I believe in the last few years her season-openers ended up being close to her SB.

but a pretty white girl: IMPRESSIVE!
and you guys know it 🤦🏻
Except this pretty white girl has been running world class times since she was a teenager 4 years ago, much like Athing Mu. I don't recall many doping allegations in her direction either. Context matters

And in those four years there have been about 100+ Kenyan drug positives

Stop it.
They had no problem with the marathon outlier.
You guys will whine about anything. Just mind your own business and complain after evidence is produced. Real evidence. Not something to feed your whining obsession.

She is looking really really strong, like she’s put on some muscle in the quads and glutes. The WR is just so dirty but if anyone is climbing that ladder anytime soon it’s her.
