It's in the best interest of an athlete and their sponsor to be self-promoting, which is why the bashing is so comical. But keep lashing out and showing how little you know!
She knows that ALBERTO'S Nike Oregon PROJECT has a new 'dream girl' now.
HER NAME IS JORDAN HASAY
Go PTG!
Sigh.....Here we are once again talking about Kara Goucher. This is like F'king ground hog day. It's actually pretty hilarious if you think about it. She is winning the public relations game.

No, I'd say the opposite, because once again sane people are saying: "Jesus F'n Christ Kara, can you stop whining and complaining about being supposedly mistreated or cheated (without offering any good evidence for those claims) for one second, and just run your goddamned races and be happy for others that do better than you??"
That's not "winning" anything.

Exactly! Why do we have to talk about this person anymore???? Enough already, this is what she wants, to stay in the news.

Not exactly.
We can never get enough of Kara.
This is a "sensitive" issue.
Why is Kara G. going after her former training partner Shalane Flanagan?
Really Kara G???
It does not matter what type of running shoes the runner is in: Nike 4% BS shoes, Underarm shoes, Skechy Skechers, Oi-Sell-It shoes, etc.
What matters is the type of runner in the running shoes.
Molly Huddle, Shalane Flanagan, Amy Cragg, Emily Sisson and Jordan Hasay will obliterate Kara G. wearing ANY running shoe.
When people hate, they really hate.
I remember when everyone loved Kara.
I didn't think the article was so bad. It's not like she brought everything up. They asked questions and she answered.
If there is an advantage given by the shoes and only a select group have access to it, I'd say it's a problem.... guess we'll find out by the end of summer if they actually make a significant difference.
Kara knew some things that were damaging to Salazar and she's getting blasted for leaking it. I didn't know that Salazar was so unethical until Kara opened her big mouth so... all good. He might be great at getting his athletes to peak conditioning but there's no doubt in my mind that he's one slimey coach.
Maybe Salazar has played by the rules but not the spirit of the rules. Kara loses points for being an angry past her prime pro but Salazar is tainted for life... I still hope Kara has a few more great races left in her but she's no spring chicken and there are a lot fresh faces trying to make their mark.

Kara doesnt want her son growing up in a world where Nike shoes are the sole answer to the marathon.
Kara Goucher = drama
look it up.
When I saw Kara lost because on her best day she couldn't keep up with Shalane on her worst, I meant it. That being said Kara does have a legitimate reason to be upset so I don't understand the attacks. It's not causing drama when you are specifically asked the question in an interview. She didn't bring it up.
She lost a spot to two people who now say their shoes cause a 4% advantage. Two people who rub it in that they love the company that burned her and are now "besties" The whole womens sport is dramatic. It is not however dramatic to acknowledge the fact that the shoes may be wrong. If its true, Shalane would have missed the team. Yes, that is important to recognize even if Shalane is the better runner.

And Desi Linden would of won and beaten Shalane at the Olympic Games.
As long as Kara stays a hot looking babe this drama will continue. And believe me....she is a good mix of cute and hot. But more hot than cute!

Exactly. She was asked a question and she answered it, but the mouth breathers on this thread have nothing else going for them but trying to twist opportunities to rip on people.
This topic sure seems to bring out the most miserable people on Let's Run who sound like they have very little going on in their lives and probably blame others for all their failure. And it's pretty funny how they believe they speak for the entire running community. Kara is still probably one of the most popular female runners in the world and it's pretty clear her supports don't spend a lot of time on this site. Cragg, Sisson and Hasay can only hope to have half the career that Kara has had although time is running out for Cragg. 2 Olympic games, World medal, podium finishes at both Boston and NYC, national titles, ncaa titles. If she doesn't do anything more competitively she'll still have done so much more than most. It's refreshing when someone speaks their mind and doesn't care what people think of it. Thanks gosh the sport has her - it could use a lot more like her.

Do you really believe that if a man is critical of a woman, the man must be a sexist?
You must be a Democrat.
I'm not "in the know" enough to know, but is it possible that KG is being black listed? Maybe Salazar heard that she wanted to run Boston and threatened to pull JH if KG was allowed to run? Possible?

Exactly. Kara is just genuinely answering unknown random questions. Just like Hillary Clinton didn't know any of the debate questions before the debate. Oh, wait! I actually gave her the questions beforehand. Never mind.
I imagine it went down something like this:
RW: Ok Kara we are going to ask you questions about the new Nike shoes being illegal.
KG: Ok
RW: But make sure you act surprised. We don't want it to look like you are whining baby again.
KG: Ok
RW: And stop saying Ok all the time!
KG: Ok

Whoa! This is actually true. I just looked it up.
And the last few posts prove the point. Haters grasping at straws.
