Just putting this on the boards since so much talk of Athing Mu (who obviously is a great runner).

BUT, both Elle and Josette Norris ran awesome to go 1 - 2 in 4:19.3 and 4:20.81. They both looked strong and determined... just fantastic. Way to go, Elle and Josette!

And so did the other women!! They were all obviously strong and determined!!

How fast did Purrier and Norris run at 19?

CONSERVATIVES DO IT BETTER!

Good runs by those two! Elle really pounded it out!

Good runs by all the ladies. Why just these two?? Especially since it’s been suspicious that Norris is cheating.

Good runs by them because they were the top two. I see that you are trying to belittle women’s athletics as a participation sport by congratulating all competitors equally, but here on letsrun we are fans of both genders competitions, and we give credit to the people who win.

Hilarious. Norris didn’t win. Elle did. And the others behind her also included Koko and Hull and others. Don’t be an arrogant ass

Seriously. What kind of weirdo congratulates the winner of a competition?

On that note, I would like to congratulate all the teams in the NFL on their season except the Rams and Bengals.

Her 4:19 was a masterful display of fitness, strategy (go to the front, stay there, drive home), and confidence. Brava!

Oh so somehow we’ve come to congratulate not just the winner but just the top Two! And everyone else that was a second or two behind aren’t worthy. You’re a total maroon

Agreed that the lead story in the race should really be Purrier St Pierre's commanding run for the win, rather than the DNF of a non-miler (all due respect to Mu - and it's not her fault if everyone focuses on her).

It is admittedly a curious thing how an off-race by one competitor can somehow overshadow some fine performances by others.

If Elle runs the 800m her next meet, and drops at 700, I wi9ll love her even more!

Don't you mean 709?

Correct. Elle would do herself a favor if she DNFs her next race if she wants the respect she craves.

Yes, very cool. I noticed another random post of yours the other day, and now this. I hope this doesn't mean things are not going well in your world. Like a time capsule seeing a post from you. Hope all is well.

THIS is closer to the Elle I was hoping to see at the Olympics. Maybe 2022 will be a better year for her at the championship level. Go Elle!
