USA, worlds, tbis upcoming race..? Where else has she raced?
I know she did that one race where the hurdle(s) were not placed correctly. Maybe Nashville. She also ran a 100H somewhere earlier in the year and she looked just as good as when she does the 400's. That's four with USA and Worlds.
She ran the 100M at Penn Relays. And clearly she was in a different league in that race.

If she's only intent on doing one more race then why not do Monaco instead of Budapest? Higher prize money plus a chance of breaking the World Record again? Makes no sense.
the average fan or teenage girl tuning into the tv tk watch those races probably doesn’t even know she is represented by NB, but they have heard multiple times within thst same time snap about Nike and BTC.
The average fan or teenage girl doesn't watch her races. They see her repping New Balance on social media and that sells more New Balance clothes and shoes than her races do.
And as long as New Balance is happy with the sales she generates on social media, they don't care if she races or not.
Actually if you go through her IG, she has ONE maybe two posts of her repping NB. There are actually more photos and posts of her running and repping Nike or UA clothes then NB. Again, if I were a teenager of any sort, I wouldn’t even know who her sponsor is.. there is no reference of it on her IG page or her bio… nothing. I find it hard to imagine she generates many sales..
She's barely raced all year. How could she need rest?
She’s bad for the sport. An absolute drip of an interview and doesn’t even race. It’s pretty crazy she can make so much money without providing much promotion for NB
she runs a world record every time she races and is probably the most well known current track athlete to people who otherwise wouldn’t watch track
yeah itd be cool if she ran more but bad for the sport is crazy

I don't think prize money is gonna move her. Budapest is definitely giving her a massive appearance fee to race there. Also this meet is incredible on the sprints side, Im not sure why people think this is some bum meet shes skipping Monaco to do. SAFP, Sydney, Shericka Jackson, Dos Santos, Holloway, Mondo, Knighton, Bednarek, Bromell and a lot more. There also is no competition for her anywhere in the world for 400H, so she could run a race at a local HS and still have a shot to break the WR.
Jamaican girls been at 2 meets since WC. Those girls just know to show up and run. 35yrs old mom at that too. 100m much more prestigious than 400mh. Call me anti-American but SAFP is much more likeable than SM. On and off the track.
I am surprised William Morriss and NB puts up with her divaness. Please just go be a high priestess in your church. sacrifice those goats or whatever you do.

She was going to run the 400h in Monaco. Maybe Sydney and her coach decided to do a flat 400 instead and so they needed to find another meet.
I haven't seen the list of events for the Budapest meet yet but I wouldn't be surprised if they have a women's 400.
If anyone has a link to the list of events at the Budapest meet, please post it.

Budapest is the World Championship host next year!
The question isn't why she's going there, the question is why isn't everyone else?
And maybe "Why isn't Budapest a Diamond League event this year?"

The meet isn't actually in Budapest, it's in a town near Budapest.
In any case, why tell Monaco you're running in Monaco and then back out at the last minute?
And to answer my question from before, she's still running a 400h, NOT a 400. That's odd. If you're trying to run a fast time, isn't Monaco supposed to be one of the world's fastest tracks?
Everything the girl does is high class and done right, anyone complaining has the problem not her. I can't think of anything I'd cry babying around about with this talented lady. She delivers the goods and has that star power.

I'd still go for the same reasons; to check out the hotel, the organizers of next years WC that will be pretty much the same at this years meet, Visa procedures and airport ditties at a new country with an history of East European "efficiency", etc, etc.
