Emily Sisson is the new Shalane Flanagan

No. She doesn't have the hip height. NEXT!!!!

Emily is much more likeable and also does not snub and smear America's best distance runner.

When someone is called "the next _____" or "the new _____" you can guarantee it won't happen.

Shanane is the only Shalane

I remember when I first started following distance running back in middle school and people touted Bekele as the next Gebreselassie. What a bunch of dummies.

How about people start celebrating the success of others, and stop trying to compare two DIFFERENT people who live two DIFFERENT lives?

You've been claiming that for a number of years now on here. I wonder why, do you know her personally, don't like her, and know it pi$$es her off when people say that, or do you fantasize about her internet stalking you and "rewarding" you for the comment?

Emily Sisson will be the next greatest thing in American running, and will become 'mainstream' sports popular after the Olympics. It will all begin with a 2:20:xx in London. Calling it now.

"Emily Sisson is the new old Shalane Flanagan" at best

Can we just stick to talking about running instead of looks?

Emily is in a similar position to a younger Shalane or Molly. She has run the #2 half and #3 10k US All-Time. I'm hoping for a debut in the 2:22ish range or better. I don't know that she's done on the track yet but she should have a very good marathon career.

She’s done squat on the track relative to the others

Um, since when did Shalane have beef with Molly Huddle?
