I really think if Kara is going to refer to Nikki as "they" that she should say during the intro that "Hiltz, a biological female who identifies as non-binary..." so people understand why it sounds so awkward.
Disappointing no St. Pierre in this race.
She went out of her way to say “them” and “they” and I totally agree 100% it is confusing as hell to someone not other know as they think Kara is talking about multiple people.
lol this one has so many layers. Offended by pronouns, offended by Nikki Hiltz’s mere presence even though it is an example of a nonbinary person racing in their birth sex just like you want, and then gotta find a back door way to make this a negative about Kara Goucher as well because it wouldn’t be LetsRun if there wasn’t some Kara Goucher or Colleen Quigley hate!
All of people calling for DQs for a little contact indoors have clearly never run a race indoors. It’s full contact track and field and that’s why it makes for entertaining racing.
Because oddly Hocker is pretty underrated by Letsrun these days. Hasn't won a meaningful race since 2021, I think, before today. But clearly in incredible form, and 2023 was a great year given the early injuries.

edit: I think he won '22 indoor 15 and 3k actually, but those weren't strong fields iirc.
