Shouldn't she be training over in Greece?
Does she even speak Greek?
I can't find any clips of her speaking in Greek. Learning the language is the bare minimum if you don't want others to consider you a plastic citizen.
(Even Sam Parsons comes off as extremely plastic-German, despite sort of speaking the language. It's just too cringe-worthy when you hear it, and all his mannerisms are extremely American.)

From my understanding, she left OTC Elite/Nike to join #teamgreece and saw a rapid decline in fitness post-Olympics and post-injury while simultaneously joining Mammoth Track Club Elite/Champion.
As of recent, it looks like she is consistently in Austin (?), alongside Allie K. But she has mentioned she isn't there permanently.
On Instagram, it looks like she's unfollowed ALL team members (except for Deena) associated with MTC Elite (and MTC's instagram account), which is odd - because it seemed like she was good friends with all of them just a few months ago.
Does anyone have any insight as to what's happening? Weird how her emotions dictate who she follows on Instagram to that extent, but makes it easier to see when she's changing teams I guess. Through this quick stalking session, I also realized Jordan Hasay doesn't follow her back anymore - despite Alexi's desperate attempt to showcase their former friendship.
Let loose on theories/info, Letsrun...
She's def looking at a career in Greek Real Estate !!!

Actually he or she is right. Most elite runners and their coaches are liberals.

Dude is a self-serving, mercenary carpetbagger. Maybe being ultimately heartless helps him fit in in Germany.

Oh, she does, with enough persuasion.

Sam Parsons is the male analogue of Alexi Pappas, in so many ways.
All sounds very Trumpian to me:
Making things up
Hypocrite
Borderline Insane
Disloyal
Flaky
Yes cause why talk about running on a site that has "Run" in the title when we can snort our political opinions.

@Flake City.
That's very myopic thinking.
Hypocrites and borderline insane people eventually get exposed for being hypocrites and borderline insane people.
It doesn't matter if they're liberal or conservative. Pappas does indeed fits the former profile exactly, but there are equal examples of people on the other side. Trump proves this almost daily as one example....
Nike should pay her at least a million Drachmas per year. Sponsor her.

I like the formal invitation to make up and speculate some weird stuff about pros. Usually these threads do anyway, but I appreciate the outright invite.
^^^POTD^^^
Jesus, you guys need to let it go. So what if she has a bigger media presence than her achievements warrant? I'm starting to see why some people think runners are neurotic headcases. Just let her live her life, focusing on running or not.

Actually they are both making stuff up.
However, given that top level athletes in major US sports are (a) younger than the average American and (b) more likely to be a minority than the average American, and both of these groups skew heavily Democratic, it is not a stretch to say that top athletes in the US are likely to be more liberal than the average American.
This does not justify the comment that nearly all the world’s top runners are liberal, but it certainly flies in the face of the comments that all liberals are flaky quitters.
So yeah, they are both making stuff up.
Can we talk about the horrific “outfit” she wore to SXSW?
It's been a while since there was an Alexi thread on here. Those always seem to blow up pretty quickly even if it's all speculation and gossip.
I wonder if she's devoting more time and energy to her film career, seeing that Austin has a lively indie film scene. However, since so much of her film career has rested on marketing herself as an Olympic runner who also writes/acts/directs, it seems she couldn't have the latter without having the former. Lose the Olympic runner status and become just another average-ish indie filmmaker waiting for their big break. The reviews for Tracktown and Olympic Dreams seemed to point to the core of the issue--people saw those movies because of the unusual location and subject, not so much for the quality of the writing/acting/directing.
In any case, she's accomplished way more in her life than my lazy ass ever will, so I don't have much of a license to criticize.
My theory is that it's weird that you look up and are able to notice who athletes unfollow.

I wouldn't even do that with a family member, let alone a complete stranger. You've decided to make this celebrity too important to you.
Tracktown is SO bad. It makes Saint Ralph look like an Oscar winner in comparison
