Nick Willies throws shade at Sifan Hassan on twitter

You are rocking Coevett's world. He already knew his hero Coe was a cheating husband. Now you drop this on him.

if he's serious, let's see him talk about the men wrote:

They're both racing 7 days later, about an hours flight from nick's house. Why not call them out? talk about range, mo's 15 pb is better than nicks! Isn't that worth a call-out? Hasn't rupp, he with no wheels, come very close to nick's mile PB? that would deserve a call-out, no? and how about the bombshell about jenny simplson and dr brown, that should deserve a call-out, IMO...

No call-outs from Nick on: Rupp, Farah, Centrowitz.

Easier to pick on a tiny black woman who lives in the Netherlands than the grown men he might actually see in person, I guess. "Brave."

Easy to pick on a world champion who is presently the toast of the athletic world, achieving off-the-planet performances the same week the coach of her team has been busted for doping. Race or gender has nothing to do with it. Hassan is establishing herself as the greatest ever female middle and long distance runner the very week Salazar is disgraced. The other athletes named aren't in the headlines. She is. By singling her out Willis is making a point which would apply to any of Salazar's athletes. He hasn't given them a pass.

And what has shown you that he isn't?

1500 m PR at age 32 (and a cheat in his private life too).

Last I saw, watching porn was not considered adultery. But what a strained connection to doping. You also need to call out every runner who has pr'd over 30, like the present bronze medallist in the 1500 in Doha. But if that's your evidence, I doubt Nick will be too fussed.

For sure, Nick is a lot less suspicious than Sifan. I leave it at that.

5,000 miles to the west wrote:

A tiny black woman who lives in Portland... "Dumb."

If you are going to be outraged, at least be outraged about real things.

You obviously know nothing about her. Sifan spends a just a little tiny bit more time away from Oregon than Rupp and Engels, you idiot. Including in the Netherlands. I have seen her training there ffs.

You are avoiding the actual point, Nick-fanboy, which is that Nick is too much of a coward to talk crap about his actual competition or actual men.

He's not afraid to court unpopularity by raising questions about an athlete who is presently being celebrated as a great champion; you have a strange understanding of what is cowardice. Furthermore, none of the male runners he has competed against have destroyed their competition in the way we have just seen Hassan do. But you aren't too good at seeing what is in front of your eyes; your prejudices blind you to that.

You have no idea what I know or don't know about Hassan. But since you know all about her, you might want to get in touch with the IAAF and set them straight. Their story about her training with Kejelcha starts out, "They were both born in Ethiopia but now live in America."

As for Nick, I am not a Nick-fanboy. I haven't thought hard enough about his tweets and Hassan to have an opinion.

I was simply mocking you for the over-the-top way you expressed your outrage over Willis' tweets. Your response makes my point far better than I ever could have, Slick.

you are EITHER good at 1500-5000, OR at HM-marathon, but NOT at both.

Disagree here. The marathon is where the separation is. You can be good at mid distance + HM.

The Ingebrigtsens were saying that Jakob's workouts and lab tests were indicating he could run a very a good HM. If he continues to get fitter, I don't think he'd be so far off of what Hassan is doing. I could definitely see him running 59:xx one year and 3:28 the next. It's not a normal thing to do but I think it's something he'd be capable of. And maybe he doesn't have that potential but he's close and a slightly more talented, fitter version of him with a perfect few years of training could definitely do it. So maybe that's what Hassan is.

It's also not that unusual to see very good 800m runners in America running very good 8k's and 10k's in Cross Country during their collegiate careers. Pop them in an evenly paced flat fast HM instead and they could be running good HM's.

It's not that crazy. What is crazy is being a generational talent, which Hassan is if she's clean.

To a similarly insecure white man he is.

Nick is planning a big exit in 2020. He took Doha off to practicing his Haka for Tokyo. Here he has already memorized 45% of this routine:

Worth noting that Shannon Rowbury also threw some shade by not congratulating Sifan Hassan in her IG story. She congratulated Shelby and Koko and that was it.

That was low class on her part. Maybe that racist pig Simpson is rubbing off on her.

New Zealanders in general have a history of that type of attitude.

Go look in the mirror, and you'll see.

You don't know what my race is, and I don't know yours; it doesn't matter to me. But I am prejudiced against morons, and there you do qualify.

Tell that to Steve Ovett from GRB, and Rod Dixon from New Zealand.

When the race card is played you know the doping argument has been lost.

See for example here:

A proud Christian, he recalled the pain coming clean about his addiction had on his loving wife.

"The hurt she felt was something I never wanted to make her experience again," he said.

"Before I focused on how my addiction affected me, but it wasn't until I realised the effect it had on others, especially my wife that I committed to change."

What an unfortunate choice of picture for that story.

I was talking about you seeing your racism in the mirror.

Apparently you've either not looked in the mirror yet, or you're blind.

I didn't mention your race. You must have a guilty conscience.

However, since you brought it up, your history on here indicates that you're a white racist pig.

Which means you lost it when you first opened your mouth.

So, to question Hassan's performance here is racist? That must mean most of the contributors to the thread are racists. We can add paranoia to the list of your traits, that begins with stupidity.
