    There is another thread accusing us of gender bias for not giving Emma Coburn a splash page when she broke the AR at Pre.

    I don't think anyone pointed that we Coburn a splash page when she ran her first AR:

    http://www.letsrun.com/splash-page/emma-coburn-american-record-clock/

    So we didn't give her one this time because

    a) she's already done it in the past and gotten a splash page for the same feat

    b) she got smoked in the race and

    c) she did it in the midst of America's biggest meet where there were bigger stories to tell.

    If we gave her a splash page for running 9:10, couldn't we then have been accused of racism for not giving a splash page for the first 8:59 by a woman on American soil?

    Yes you did and I remember it. LR is one of the few sites out there really promoting our sport. There's no room for this hatred that sparked the site owners to have to respond.
