It is simply astounding how effortless Mu makes it look while running at world-class speed. She looks like she's training.

[@ajakennedy6072]

Seriously! I will never be not amazed at how she looks like she's on a recreational jog even when she's running a world record pace. Super talented.

[@sluttymctits4496]

This is what amazes me about her. She looks so relaxed, almost looks like she's in slow motion or just going for a Sunday jog even when she's in the middle of the pack, but she's setting and breaking records and blowing everyone else out of the water. Truly a talented athlete for the ages.

[@jjayyoung7335]

That 800 m record will be very very hard to break it's been there since 83 I'm not saying Mu can't do it, but damn the Czech woman who holds the 800m WR had some serious chemical help, she'd have made a pretty good defensive back in the NFL. The 400m WR has been there since 1985, same same Eastern Bloc steroid athletes Marita Koch 47.6 awesome time to beat, and yes our athletes were roided up also but the communists were just better at it. Seeing Athing Mu hit warp drive and break the 400m and 800m will be more than spectacula, much more. She is a classy athlete and a better rep for American track and field can't be found in my not so humble opinion

[@murdoch1717]

@@jjayyoung7335 Agreed. Beautifully put. I hold out hope that Mu can do it but it will take time. I mean, I never thought the women's 100, 200 record could be touched but look at Elaine Thompson-Herah getting close. And I believe Flo Jo was juiced, sad to say. So there's hope despite the cheating that some past athletes did.

[@betsysindani3171]

That girl is an East African. Those who do not know the history of sprinters and marathon legends, here is a brief one: East Africa is home to distance running legends. Home to the Marathoner Eliud Kipchoge, Tergat, Helen Obiri, Beatrice Chepkoech, Faith Kipyegon, (Kenya); Genzebe Dibaba, Turnesh Dibaba, Ayana, 10000 sprinting antelopes Bekele and Gebreselasie (Ethiopia), Cheptegei, Kipsiro, (Uganda). Mo Farah is from East Africa (Somalia). East African states comprise of Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Somalia, , Rwanda, Burundi and Sudan/Ethiopia lie above Eastern block and are currently part of this block. Most middle and long distance runners come from this block. Athing Mo is Sudanese. Home to tall, dark smooth skinned elegant people called Nilotes. West and South Africa churns out mostly sprinters and football stars. Simbine, Semenya, Van Niekerk, Mboma, are Southerners, famous for Rugby and home to Nelson Mandela. West African countries include Nigeria 🇳🇬 Ghana, Cote d Ivoire, Cameroon🇨🇲, Mali, Togo etc. Ghanaian and Nigerian sprinters continue to participate in sprints in international meets. Ghana team was third in world relays just before the last Olympics. Talou is from Cote d Ivoire or Ivory Coast. The Western block also produces world class footballers and most of them play in Europe. The likes of Didier Drogba, Pogba, Samuel E'too. The French team that won the last world cup for France comprised of blacks from Central (Congo) and West Africa. West Africans are phycally strong genetically and also fairly tall. They exhibit lots of confidence and are quite aggressive (not violent). I think this explains why they are better sprinters and footballers compared to East and North Africa. West Africans also love to dance and can be very comic. Since most slaves were drawn from West Africa (home to genetically stronger blacks) this could also explain why African Americans, Jamaicans are very good in sprints, good at creating music and dance and are good in comedy: Steve Harvey, Eddy Murphy, Rock, Whoopi. Music and rhythm in America continues to be dominated by African Americans and Caribbeans (Michael Jackson and family, Beyonce, Rihana, late Houston, Jay Z, and a host of other rappers. (You can feel the aggression of West Africans among African American Basketballers: Jordan, James Lebron, Johnson, etc..The black community in America continues to produce world class entertainers in music, comedy etc.and sports. Their nature and traits are quite similar to West Africans: sportish, aggressive, comic, confident, musical, sly, and just lively. Historically, most African Americans and Blacks in the Caribbean including Jamaica, originated from West Africa. Its Bob Marley who drew inspiration from Ethiopia 🇪🇹, one of the East African countries. Maybe some slaves were drawn from there and ended up on the islands since East Africa was a slave route, particularly the ports. Anyway, we are proud of Athing Mu. Continue making Africa proud. Africans are scattered all over the globe these days and wherever they are, they are writing History. Before any person judges a black man, visit Africa. Africans are just good people: lively, generous, accommodating and determined. Their nature is they love to help out because culturally, we grow up in extended families and live communally. God bless Africa (And all other races and continents as well for making the entire world an interesting place to live in) God bless our motherland Africa, land of strong, joyful, daring fellows, home to entertaining athletics.
