I don’t care if this is a bluff and she actually runs or if she skips it for all the reasons listed. I’m sick of the attitude and drama and the non existing “ modeling”. Not the person I thought she was from 2-3 yrs ago. No longer impressed and no longer interested or supportive of Mu. Period. Hope she just retires at this point.
I think she already decided at the start of this season she was going to treat 2023 as on off year to take a break before the consecutive 24/25 championship seasons. She already has the coveted pair of gold medals so she can afford to do that. I don’t think she trained for a championship run this season they just made us believe otherwise for sponsorship/monetary reasons. Tbf, Athing has ran a LOT of races in the last 6-7 years prior to 2021 and she BARELY made it in 2022, they were already signs of her burnout and she said it herself. I just wish she announced the break or even faked an injury lol to say she was sitting out this year.
What's the difference between 23/24 or 24/25 consecutive seasons?
23/24 are both world champs and 24/25 is Olympic/World.
What's the difference between 23/24 or 24/25 consecutive seasons?
Simple. If she runs all out in 2023 and 2024, that's 4 tough championships years in a row. Plus then 2025 will make it 5 in a row.
If she takes it easy in 2023, then it's 2 tough championships seasons, then an easy year as a break, then 2 tough championship seasons, then an easy year in 2026.

I forgot there are FIVE consecutive championship seasons, no breaks! Damn prolly why the men 100m tiimes are slow af. I suspect many will skip Tokyo ‘25. They put their body through hell to reach peak doing it 5 consecutive years/cycle is not sustainable. All Mu needed to do was say she’s ending the season early to treat a hamstring, this LA times article is giving I want the attention and spotlight, I want people to speculate. Mu said herself she hates to lose so anything less than gold in her dominant race is not worth it, I think she knows she’s not in 800m gold medal form.

Be honest, since she became a media sensation, which was pretty much instantly, you never liked her and have been hoping for her failure. You're not even fooling yourself that it is because of this event (Kersee talking to rhe press, really?)) or any other legit reason.
Why can't the middle-aged white men of this board just be open about being irked whenever a young black woman becomes the face of American track and field or Gymnastics or Tennis. Which of course is always going to happen, because they are the best athletes on Earth. So have fun coming up with reasons to not like the next African American superstar queen to be celebrated by, you know, the woke crowd.
Yeah.... except that this year Sha'Carri has ditched that playgirl lifestyle and is running with purpose and focus. So....she is racing, not ducking rivals, and winning.

Moran, I guarantee you that 99.999% the "woke crowd" gas zero clue who Mu is or what's she's done or not done this season.
She's a non-entity.
For the remaining 1 in 1000, maybe 10% will indulge her games and lies (who can tell the diff anymore?), the rest think she's a super talented freak...
Who threw it away with Dirty Kersee.
Running on vodka ain't that hard with her ability.
Harder than soil science or cattle biology at A&M? Hardly.
Who was the American woman rumoured to be challenging a 3rd missed test? The name was never revealed, but many thought it was Sha'Carri Richardson, and that she successfully appealed her 3rd missed test. Well, what if it wasn't her, and it was Mu all along, and is now serving a 12 months whereabouts ban?
The problem is, the BS that comes out of Kersee's mouth, it's not trustworthy, so we come up with all these theories and speculation because we have nothing else to go on.
Her fear of losing could well be the reason. Hodgkinson finished cm behind her, being nudged more and more to the curb by Mu, who only won because of the adrenaline from the home crowd. Keely had a fast last 200m then Mu and as Awsi D said earlier, that scared her. She looked bewildered and shocked after the race.
The other possibility is she cannot cope with Kersee's training regime. You need to be on PEDS to survive it - just ask Angela Bailey - maybe she is broken. After another bout of Covid she might simply not be strong enough for his workouts.
Regarding other interests, it's many little girls dream to be model. I get that. But I doubt she will be successful in such a cut throat business.
The fact that this and the post above have so many upvotes when they are completely made up rumours by people with not an inkling into what's going on is hillarious
brah you run around a circle a few times. Your body is fully recovered in a week. If it was a full marathon - ok I kinda get it because your body comes outta that like a dirty rag. But cmon.
Olympics or WC from ‘21-‘25 can feel like a slog if the expectation is you win and dominate every race.
After an Olympic gold and a WC gold on home soil- why not skip a major meet in Budapest to rest and focus on the much, much higher profile meeting in Paris next year.

Drug accusations are stupid. At 16 she broke the American record for 600m. She ran 2 min flat as a 17 yr old. Was she on drugs then? She could afford drugs and a dr to administer them at 16 and 17? Living in poverty in Trenton NJ ghettos?
If that's not realistic, then whats the issue? You had an immensely talented 16 to 17 yr old who got down to 1:56 in the 800 by 19. A kid cant drop 4 seconds in two years without drugs?
Its not like she was a 2:15 800m runner at 17 who dropped below 2 min in the next two years.

you know most people just aren't racist. they don't care about the colour of people's skin, and why would they? most people crying racist are just projecting their own mindset.

But that's the point - see the second paragraph in my post - they are not being open & honest, & we cannot trust a word that comes out of Kersee's mouth, ergo we make up our own theories. This is a track discussion board afterall, son
