Is Gwen Jorgensen just trying too hard to be popular?

Weak bronze/silver in Osaka. Talks about it whenever she gets a chance.

The Truth: 9th a year later in the Olympics, even with a pr. Got beat by several women who didn't run the 10,000 in Osaka for obvious reasons. Facts don't lie. Half of those women run the 10,000, she gets 8th place at best.

Going to break 2:20, then go after Paula's record. Yeah right. Her pr ends up 9+ minutes behind.

Complain about Alberto, "AFTER" you're gone from Nike. Really brave, after about 7 years.

Swear during an interval after the 2016 OTM, to sound cool and tough. Not impressed. Do that in front of her kid and she'd complain like no tomorrow.

Paraded her kid around as if he's the most important kid in the world.

Whines after Boston on how you should have raced. No, she couldn't have gotten away from either of them and got soundly beat.

NBC wanted me to stay on this side during the parade so I'd be on tv. Incessant braggart.

Intentional over exposure and arrogance with a capital A. Opportunist to the Nth degree, but denies it.

You have your opinion and I have mine. And yes, my marathon pr is faster than hers and at this point, she'll never beat it. \

I'd take Gwen over her 8 days a week.

Now bring it on trolls, you truly make me laugh.

I am too young to have seen everything she has done, but I remember reading her twitter (after the 2016 marathon trials) and thinking that she was a bit of a light headed drama queen.
