Wow! That’s fast. Congrats to Ajee and her great performance
Did she pass the drug test?
everything she does will always have an asterisk next to it.
It was also the meat record
Dinner time!

I wonder if she’ll go celebrate her win with a steak at her favorite restaurant?
Saw her after the race having a burrito with Purrier.
Why does everyone have a beef with her?
Did she have a burger or a steak before the meet?
just because nobody's made this exact joke yet...
she must be back on the sauce....A1 sauce
Nice to see a woman winning the women's event.
She was really mooving
This is NOT a post about cheating. Really. But I've been a runner and fan for over 4 decades, and I STILL don't understand how someone can run a PR (or perhaps NR or WR) at any distance (over 200m) and have no sign of grimmace and not appear to be breathing hard? Happens all the time, and certainly happened yesterday with Wilson. Run as hard as you can for 2 minutes - or 27, or 2+ hours - and do it faster than you (or perhaps any other human) has ever done it, and give no sign of effort, fatigue, or breathlessness? And it's one thing when the fatigue might be masked to an extent by clear exhilaration and celebration. But when it's more of a ho-hum, I'm done with the race and not celebrating, I completely don't understand it. And please no replies that simply say, "Elites are different." That explains nothing.

Not bad, I laughed.
Relaxation is a big part of running fast lol
Impressive but it's Olympic gold or bust for her.

So it can be masked by celebration but not not celebrating. Just making sure I got that.
Dude how many of these has she run in her life?

It was a prime day for her.

But elites ARE different. They train at a higher level, they are doing this as a full-time job. They are just that much fitter. Why does your face need to tense up when you are fatigued? It doesn't.
