A fool is one who talks up a runner with virtually nothing of significance to show for.
Like I mentioned earlier, she had to have been in sub 2:00 shape to be able to run 3:55, so miss me with that nonsense. This was certainly not Muir's first go at a major championship, so there's absolutely no excuse other than (((((((SHE CHOKED))))))
She was the faster CHOKER of 2016 and until I see otherwise, she'll likely be the fastest CHOKER in 2017.
"...those games came a year too soon" and I'm the fool, lmao!!!
Are you crazy.
Laura is probably the fastest legit 1500m ever!
Is that "nothing of significance!"
Last year, she beat the Olympic Champ twice, and once in a race where Faith really wanted to win.
To say that she choked in Rio is probably the daftest thing that you will ever say ( well, probably not).
And, as to Laura's 800m speed. Well, last summer, she did run, what is reported as an all out attempt to run a fast 800m - i.e. sub- 2min - but still couldn't manage it.
Rose coloured glasses? The glasses that you are wearing must be totally black because you can't still what the vast majority of track fans can plainly see that Laura Muir is clearly one of the main contenders for an Olympic !500m medal.
Indeed, based on form/ times, and win/loss record against Faith, to call Laura joint favourite for the gold medal would seem like a very reasonable assertion.
