In this video, Sophia Gorriaran ran the indoor 800m In 2:04. The USA's Athing Mu won the women's 800m final (outdoors) at the recent Tokyo Olympics, finishing in a USA record of 1:55.21. The world record was set back in 1983 at a time of 1:53.28 by Jarmila Kratochvílová of Czechoslovakia. The race in this video was run indoors, which is run on a smaller track with banked curves, which can affect the times to some degree, so there are different records for indoor vs outdoor.

[@EconAdviser]

Should be running that by the time the next Olympics rolls around in 3 years. Sure to get a scholarship to college, too. Even big universities dropped swimming, tennis, gymnastics, and track due to Prop 9, and footballers get most of the men's scholarships. Only women's teams in college track and other non-money sports. Foreign students dominate the golf, tennis, even baseball teams at universities.

You can only run against the others at the meet and these were very small schools. It’s not uncommon for a young high-tier or elite female athletes to be able to easily beat low to mid tier college athlete. Females mature at a much earlier age than males so their athletic ability at 13 or 14 in many instances is already at a very high level. This happens in swimming a lot too. My daughter was a very good swimmer and at age 10 should would easily beat the majority of DIII and many DII swimmers at many events. By 14 she her times were that of an average D1 swimmer, but didn’t get much fast er after that.
