She still collects a heft paycheck from Nike for doing nothing whereas there are pros out there banging themselves up out on the roads for pennies. If she can't handle criticism then she don't belong in pros. Football and basketball players are subjected to it and they have pretty tough skin. You must be her uncle or something otherwise you wouldn't sound like some sensitive snowflake.
She is Alan Webb. She was Alan Webb all along. I can't believe none of you geniuses figured this out.
I literally think if Bekele was on this site, he would leave because of people like this. Bekele learnt English more latter in life. So I can't be critisised for some spellings either. He is the greatest runner ever.
So, let me get this straight: All you gleaned from this is 1. Anyone who makes an endorsement paycheck has to perform to standard every time (this is not based on contract?) 2. No-names like us can justify the heinous insults because of said money. 3. Athletes don't have feelings. 4. Anyone with a conscience must be an uncle. The truth is, as many people know, my name is Mike and I live in San Diego County. I have posted real times and real pictures of me to display how real I am. I have not met Mary Cain nor anyone affiliated with her. However, I know impropriety when I see it, and I know unjustified attacks when I see them. Ergo, I would like to see even one iota of solid proof that Cain did anything directly TO anyone to even start to justify the vehemently hostile treatment of her. One does not need to be a snowflake to defend Cain in this regard but just a decent human being. It makes me wonder when the last time some of you tried that was. Mike

Syd is a legitimate 400mh gold medal threat in 2019/2020. She also is likely going to be our next 4x4 ace and pretty much take the baton figuratively from Felix as our top sprinting star. She also has the ability to become a 400 flat specialist in the near future as well. It would actually be crazy to see someone pull the 400m/400mh double.
Track Coach - I don't think unreasonable to suggest that an unusually difficult high intensity workout after a WJR could have lead to burnout, injury, or overtraining for a 18 year old athlete. I don't think her age was really respected in terms of her mental approach to the sport. It did not seem at all like Salazar had a long-term approach to her training. Why do intervals after a PR in the mile? Really?
Skipped USA’s , not sure she had a qualifying time, safe to say she isn’t competing this season.
