Fast run in a 2nd tier Marathon
What are you saying? Maybe the course is short?
She did run 2:22 the year prior on the same course.
A very fast half marathon and 2:22 @ Paris, 31:36 10K.
She's just not a celebrity name yet, maybe when she takes on a marathon major.

Racism??? Are you saying Rosa is black???
Don't try to understand it. That's the default these days...don't like what someone says? You've run out of credible facts to support your opinion or argument? Just claim racism. Simple as that. Seems to have bled into the international community now. And who says Americans make no contributions to the world...!
We do. We have Salazar and his protégé's.
If you bother to read the anti-Rupp threads here you will notice a higher level of suspicion and they are white as snow. So this is not about being racist is about being suspicious of a sketchy character behind her like Rosa, same as with Salazar and his gang. Buzz off with your race card game.

Also her agent is Federico Rosa, according to her IAAF profile.
Good move there, including that piece of information.
Now this can become another thread for the anti-Kenyans and the racists of LRC to feast on.
And you sir are the closest case racist of the bunch. Congrats.

If an American Woman age 24 had run 66:19 for the Half Marathon and 2:22.36 for the Marathon, She would be a HUGE NAME on Letsrun.
That's NOT racist idiot! Think much?
doped lol

Not at all, whereas you kind of expect Fast Times in Berlin, London, (Both with fast courses and MAJOR STARS) and Dubai (Which is known to have runners not well known run fast times). The Istanbul is not known for fast times or having major stars, it is considered a 2nd or 3rd tier Marathon, this was a pleasant surprise she ran such a great time.
Sidenote, Elvan Abeylegesse also ran the Istanbul Marathon race, her first race since 2014, she ran 2:32

Please explain how it is racist to question an athlete with ties to known dodgey characters?
Exactly

If anything, we know Ruth Chepngetich is fighter. Best last 3k of a big city marathon happened in Paris this year when the men overhauled the women. Featuring Paul Lonyangatta, Betsy Saina, Ruth and LetsRun favourite Matthew Kisorio. Jump to 1:52 for the exciting part.

Good video.
Out of curiosity, does it concern you that her agent is Rosa?

Not really. Same as me liking Galen Rupp, Sifan Hassan and Yomif Kejelcha but not letting their membership of the NOP bother me. The Rosas are not exactly scouting mediocre athletes to develop.

Seem pretty naive to me. Most people with knowledge would probably think otherwise, regarding both Rosa and Salazar.
