Is Jordan Hasay ever going to race again?

Huh? I guess I'm dense but I would have never thought to compare Jondan's career to that of Herb Elliott. I guess they were both teen prodigies.

No, you're not dense. My point is Herb retired at 22. He was done with the sport and both the physical and mental side of training and racing. His coach was also controversial and he suffered a great deal of criticism because of that. Jordan may have just mentally and physically exhausted herself and needs to step away. Perhaps it's only a break, perhaps she has found true happiness and we'll never see her race at the top again. In either case she deserves to be recognized for what she has accomplished. She also deserves the respect of her privacy.

I doubt that she will ever race again. I like her career is over. She has been through a lot, mentally and physically. It will be best if she retires and focus on other things, maybe like coaching…

Sineed Diver ran 2:21.34 at age 46 last year, that means Hasay has well over a Decade of good running in her

No, it doesn't mean that. Not everyone ages biologically at the same rate, not everyone has the same running background, nor does everyone have the desire to compete at an elite level for decades.

If she's finished (either physically or mentally), God bless her. Let her move on to other things.

Agreed. I consider her "didn't quite make it" story even more compelling than Mary Cain's, because Cain's failure was at least in part predictable. When Hasay was in HS, she seemed to be doing everything right, or as right as you can do: not overtraining, not over-racing, no psycho parents, not racing marathons at 15, none of the usual indicators that a flameout is coming. And heck as others have said, she was solid throughout college and for a while post-college. Just wild that she could never put it together to make the Olympics. Go back in time to 2008 at the Trials and tell the fans she'd never be an Olympian, they'd never believe you.

I see no parallels between their two careers. Elliot never lost a mile or 1500 his entire career. Then he retired after complete domination because he needed to provide for his family. Your comparison is what doesn't make sense.

Herb Elliot ran in the amateur era. He had to choose between running and getting a job and moving on in life. They are not comparable.

First of all, it's stupid to call Cain a failure. She's not a failure. If you've heard her story you'll understand what happened and how. Many of you hear Mary Cain and are deadset on calling her a burnout even though she explained what happened in very serious detail.

I do think when it comes to Jordan there were signs. I just hope she's healthy and doing better.

Saw her back in March at the Rock and Roll Half Marathon in DC, she was 9th in 1:23:45.

Why race for a living when you can make a living off of monetized social media accounts?

Well then you didn’t know Herb……

The one that kills me the most on here is Mary Cain. There's no way to know, but if she didn't link up with Salazar and trained elsewhere, I truly believe she would have been world class.

Hasay v Seidel.....the battle for who gives af

What happened to her? Was it the foot injury that required surgery?

Mary Cain made a World Championship final.

Have you not heard of Sara Hall (neé Bei)???? I mean If you think Jordan is through at 32...um.. what?

I think the internet was invented toward pornography and outlier references

She's probably through and that's okay.

Sara Hall is a different person than Jordan.

It's clear Jordan has struggled enormously with staying healthy in her prime years. It seems like she's found a different calling moving to Pennsylvania and training on her own terms. It's unlikely based on her past issues with health that she'll come back and have a hall like career.
