I'm amazed alberto hasn't already tried to forcefully "fix" Hassan's exaggerated arm motion resulting in a career-ending stretch of injuries.
No need to fix it. It's her natural form,just like Halie G. arm would flail while running due to carrying books to school as a kid.
What I have noticed from African women runners is that most of them have something weird about their form. It's either their legs look funny or their arms move in a silly fashion
Peres broke the half marathon record yesterday, and her form always looks like she is struggle. The male Kenyan who won the half in the same event runs straight up with a weird stride.
America is too obsessed with form at times, when the only thing that really matters is turnover ... and Hassan's turnover has improved big time in a short amount of time. Still not messing with Dibaba though or Obiri.
