" Robinson, the first-ever male collegiate athlete to sign a NIL deal with On, is the third and final new addition to the team. Hailing from Brisbane, Australia, Robinson ran for Standford University in college while attaining a Management Science and Engineering degree. At just 21, he is a two-time NCAA champion and has represented Australia at the World Championships across the 5000m distance and cross country."
Where does this put Nike? Where does this put Valby? Moving Jerry to U of O not only killed off that program but the Bowerman program. They cannot be happy, unless they are looking to only sign international and backing out of investing in distance and middle distance in North America.
Nike has been backing away from sponsoring individual runners for the last 5 years. The CEO isnt a runner or Nike lifer anymore. He's a Wall Street hack that only sees the bottom line. Plus the Shelby doping situation and Salazar situation is terrible publicity.
She had no choice. I’m sure On wouldn’t have been her first choice if she could help it. And second of all what are you saying? That it’s the shoes that made her win? On sucks
But did you even notice those shoes don’t have the holes in the midsole that are (were) the trademark of what (previously) set the ON shoes apart from other brands?
From what I understand none of them have trained much or at all at altitude, so they should be poised to improve a lot from that standpoint. Also, the OAC is no doubt the most stacked from in the country now
Maybe on the men’s side, not so much on the women’s
Definitely need to start the replacement process for the women. Monson is still ok for next Olympics in terms of age along with longer distance performance. Andrews is on her way out for both age and performance and this season is most likely her swan song so getting Olivia right into the 5K now is perfect. Vissa and Hurta won’t be getting any faster either.

A lot of their more "everyday" shoes are definitely really only made for walking (regardless of what they market them as). But some of their higher end shoes like the cloudmonster and their racing shoes are actually quite nice for running. Just way too expensive

That's for sure. A video clip Ritz posted showed a shot of Andrews as he was talking about being injured. Her injury may be over, but not likely 100% in race shape or mental shape not having raced since January. Somehow doubt she will be fit for 5 races this week between the 5K and 1500 rounds.

Hard to count on someone like her who has never been consistent and has every excuse under the sun when she doesn’t perform well. But wait - maybe this time. Apparently Robby Andrews said he’s concentrating on her 🤣😂
Ky Robison is interesting because he overlaps with Morgan which is something they’d avoided. Other two make a lot of sense given that they don’t have a female steepler any more, and Ramsden is a Kiwi.
I'd be sweating on a Good Olympics if I were Morgan McDonald. Those original contracts are surely up for renewal after Paris and he has mostly been injured.
