    Hands-down, Centrowitz.

    Olympic Gold Medals are worth 10 x more than World Championship medals. Ask any athlete. Ask any coach. Ask any historian. Mike Sandrock had a great book which calculated points based off different medals at different events, and nothing trumps an Olympic gold. Some d-bags here are putting Jenny Simpson WC medals at the same level as Centro's Gold. Wake up, and by the way, Centro was a World Champion as well.

    Jenny needs to win Olympic Gold and not have a melt down in the biggest stage.

    I would like to know how they are ten times more than a world title? No one is explaining how or why when it's literally the same athletes competing for these titles.

    World INDOOR champion. Unfortunately, no one cares.

    Again, where is Jenny having these meltdowns? She's one of the best big-time performers out there when the pressure comes on

    Jenny does well in all types of races, not just tactical 1500s. For that reason when she toes the line she's got better odds of winning than Centro in any given race. They each have about the same number of Oly/WC medals which means they're about equivalent tactically, but Jenny can additionally run fast when she needs to, and was never far behind anybody but Dibaba in 2015.

    So, trying to ignore the obvious doping rumors about NOP, I'll go with Jenny despite MC's Olympic Gold

    Centro is closer to the men's WR than Jenny is to the women's WR.
