The American Market; Where losing Pays handsomely!

Think your forgetting Infeld won bronze in the 10K in 2017 I believe.
Think you are also forgetting Amy Hastings in London.
Here's the brutally harsh reality - in Modern Marathoning, the U.S. Women are "Soft". They're a far far cry from U.S. Women in say an Alpha Sport such as Mixed Martial Arts. Take a look at Lauren Murphy, not the most naturally talented of Woman in the Cage, but her fierceness, fearlessness, and commitment to the war more than compensates for her raw talent shortcomings. Don't get in the cage with her unless you wish to be savaged. She's the Working Class Tradition of American Sports Excellence. Not so for U.S. Marathoners, Male or Female ... However the men know when to exit stage right. The U.S. Female Marathoners are representative of the Managerial Class in America ... Absolutely Soft and Biden like. Standing around wrapped in flags upon soil they didn't even have the courage to defend ... 100% Unlike the Working Class ethos represented by the likes of Lauren Murphy. In 2 words - THEY SUCK!!!

Very compelling argument. You definitely convinced me and changed everyone’s mind about championship style marathon racing. Next worlds, we need a team of “alphas”, with big egos. Trained my an alpha coach. Men: The Rock, Terrell Owens, and Soulja Boy. Women: Rhonda Rousey, Snooki, and Kim Kardashian. Have David Goggins as coach. “Take 1000 mg of ‘Suck it Up’ and Wash it down with a tall glass of HARD!! Live HARD!!!”
