How poetic and beautifully apt that the final person to take to the podium at the Closing Ceremony of the Paris Olympics is Sifan Hussan - in a hijab.
A powerful visual after French Olympic athletes were forbidden from wearing hijabs at the Games.
@fast_women Yeah I saw that coming. Don’t think she understood the stagger since she stood on the inside of the yellow line before the race started. Super unfortunate
@jgault13 Idk the temps may play a factor. And the U.S. needs someone other than Mantz or Houng to do it to unlock a 3rd spot. That also means that someone will have to take it out which I just don’t see happening at a trials marathon
I’ve held back my cynical track grump as long as possible, but this is too much. What are we doing splitting this into two even heats. This event is one of like 4 times a year you get most of the big dogs in the same place and we don’t get to see them actually race each other?
@H0RSEL0G@Clayton_Murph I’m not following. I’m just wondering if this counts as an ncaa record since it converts to a time faster than the current mile record
C.J. Stroud is the youngest passer in NFL history to throw for 450 yards in a game.
Steeled by lessons off the field, C.J. Stroud is taking the NFL by storm
In 1850, Indigenous groups ceded much of what’s now Northern Ontario for a promise that any riches from the land would be shared with them.

People are generally clueless to what fast is.
When I was coaching college runners, we had a XC runner who also did ROTC
So many of the ROTC kids challenged him to a race, "You can run far, but I can out sprint you"
He'd smoke them all.
Normal people don't understand speed.
@Robin_Quon @stevemagness I feel as though running a good 5k still requires a strong balance of strength and speed. Marathon training is difficult purely because of the volume. I do think that the marathon is way too commercialized and that most would be just fine seriously training for a 5k
