Dalilah Muhammad - what an incredible lady. Forget her physical abilities folks. She's just a great spirit. You can tell the energy of a person, but their gravitational pull and kinetic magnetism. Win lose or draw, Dalilah seems to be 24-karat the real deal.

[@WorldsGreatest]

She’s an amazing athlete and an amazing soul!!

[@jeepgurl1379]

Appreciate Dalilah’s humility and determination.

[@WorldsGreatest]

Not too many athletes of her stature are that humble. What you see is who she is. She’s also a big focus in our other series Boogie Down. You should check it out!

[@ShaneCrawfordGreatness]

she is an absolute gem!

[@EACNUT]

She is one of my favorite track and field athletes. She just so down to earth

[@tyronewilliams6518]

Dalilah Muhammad stole my heart the first time I saw her race and the interview that follow.❤️👍

[@jahashstevenson8811]

A lot of people don’t realise how important her talk about religion is to young Muslim women. Dalilah is amazing, stay blessed queen ❤️ inshallah

[@WorldsGreatest]

Straight from the heart.

[@kendraoutler5783]

Dalilah, Thank you for continuing to be proud of your Muslim heritage and you represent the community with such dignity. I am so thankful your family saw your talent and allowed for you to share it with the world. As a Black female, yes ma'am!! You represent for us every time you step on the track! Much love and respect!

[@CHEETAH69]

I’m so glad Dalilah is speaking about the obvious colorism, racism and bias that affects our sport and plays a part in who gets recognition or shine. I’m certain it’s super personal for her.

[@cavaleer]

These days, she's able to be in complete control of everything. Fuk some insecure bums. And if she's not personally in control, we have entirely too much clout and renown to let anyone control or even influence anything about US. No one to look at but ourselves for accepting this bs. The full reality is we've had the ability to control how we're portrayed. and more importantly, how we See ourselves, since 1900. But Victim Addicts ain't ready for that....

[@jessicajessica6374]

I never noticed... Every famous athlete I can remember (besides FloJo who had a short carreer anyway) was dark-skinned. Evelyn Ashford, Gail Devers, Inger Miller,Gwen Torrence, Carmelita Jeter, Tori Bowie, Sanya Richards, Tiana Bartoletta in long jump etc. even the younger ones. Sha'carri Richardson has a lot of exposure. Let alone the Jamaicans. Track and field has actually been dominated by dark skinned athletes since forever. I don't get what the colorism is about.

[@CHEETAH69]

@@jessicajessica6374 you listed those who were probably the most successful or fastest. Colorism won’t affect that. I know track isn’t the most popular sport in the country but ashford was the WR holder and Olympic champion. Name anyone who knows her outside of track?

[@t.w.8174]

yeah, i definitely noticed the emphasis on Allyson and Sydney this games...FAR more than Dalilah. while both Allyson and Sydney are obviously extraordinary...so is Dalilah. yes, Athing Mu was also featured quite a bit, but, Allyson and Sydney were definitely emphasized most of all. its more than obvious that colorism was at play.

[@jessicajessica6374]

@charlie ward And please feel free to let me know what percentage of Black Americans specialize in distance running? 🤔 Kenyan runners have sponsors right?... I don't find it honest to point out to colorism in every situation, especially not in a discipline where Black-Black people are the most represented. Besides Dafne Schippers, who is not even famous in the States, which white person had it easier to become a sprinter among black athletes? I mean it is one of the rare fields where Black people are the ones brought to light. And people are still complaining. Crazy. As far as I know Allyson Felix is the most decorated track and field athlete and she is at the end of her career. She deserves a little bit of recogniton. Are we really gonna say that it's because her skin tone is lighter. Let's be fair sometimes.

[@GreyBeard_Fit]

I have been following track & field for around 40 years. Dalilah Muhammad is among my top 5 all-time in terms of my level of respect and admiration for a track athlete.

[@WorldsGreatest]

She is a class act. True role model! And an incredible, consistently great athlete

Dalliah Muhammad is ONE of the GREATEST athletes that I have ever seen. To break her own Track and Field 400m hurdles World Records back-to-back is incredible. She definitely sketched herself down in history, so she is ALREADY the living example of the role model she wants to see inspire all youth, especially young black girls. #blackwomenmagic 🏃🏿‍♀️💨🏆🏅🥇👸🏿🔮🪄

@@CHEETAH69 Oh yeah. It's clear as day. The media is going to promote certain people over others.

[@FourSeasons04]

I was discussing this issue with another commenter. I searched high and low for Dalilah's Rio race and finally found one video from a French broadcast. I watched those games, yet, I don't remember that race. All I know is, the announcers focused on Sydney even back then. I certainly don't begrudge the attention on Sydney, but don't understand why it needed to be at Dalilah's expense. Such a sad commentary.

[@redrust3]

Olympic champion. World champion. World record holder. Everything that Sydney has accomplished up to now, Delilah already did before her. “Iron sharpens iron!”

Love Sydney but Daliilah did receive the same recognition it was like they couldn’t wait for Sydney to win she has way more coverage when they both could have won the gold nothing against the ladies it’s just how the media views them differently

[@WorldsGreatest]

[@randyfarnsworth7825]

What a role model for All People!

[@Nayahpooh012]

Colorism is very REAL in Track n Field. If you pay close attention Delilah is often not given the respect and coverage that she has EARNED compared to other athletes. It’s blatantly obvious if you compare Delilah and “you know who”.

[@baseball0681]

Can we all just love Daliah and Sydney equally without bashing one or the other. They’re both the GOATS.

[@TheKimmyg4lyphe]

It's so inspirational watching her. I look at where she is now and I flashback to the 2011 when I saw her run the 400mh at NCAA west prelims where she finished 8th. She walked ahead of me as we left the track and I remember thinking, this girl is so consistent, not the best (then) but consistently in the mix. Of the zillion things that live in my mind, I can't help but smile and think back at this moment when I see her tearing it up now. Makes me feel somewhat apart of her journey.

[@WorldsGreatest]

That’s a really cool story to share. We’ll share that with Dalilah next time we see her.

[@njellemurphy4454]

Great piece and glad some shine was given and look forward to seeing her in the 2024 Olympics. Dalilah make things happen and goes hard from the beginning to the end. Such a BEAUTY filled with humility. Overall, I was rooting for Dalilah, Sifan and Athing (too bad NBC did a shitty coverage and was annoyed constantly switching channels to watch. Man! Cable companies are such pimps. I miss the old days of broadcasting the Olympics).

[@WorldsGreatest]

You don't realize how fast she and the other professional men and women are until you see them on the practice circuit. The angles and background really bring it home. She's the consummate professional and classic American Champion- like Carl Lewis, Mo Greene, Jackie Joyner Kersey, Allyson Felix and so many others. I don't blame the lamestream fake news media for their ignorance and superficiality. I blame US for not telling the individual paths to greatness that we take., on our terms.

Thank you! I am so pulling for you to overcome the world and realize the potential that God has placed in you. It is so blatantly obvious that the media (even black commentators are deliberately trying to downplay your accomplishments and thrust someone else as “the face of the sport”. They did a similar thing with Evelyn Ashford and Flo Jo (who couldn’t hold a candle to Evelyn without doping). I love all of my sisters. I pray that you and Sydney can be above the media and proactively support each other. I think it shameful that the media never mentions that both of you ran under the world record at the olympics. You are Gifted, Beautiful, Intelligent and are celebrated. I celebrate all that you ladies represent. Keep your mind free and be above this world. They didn’t create you and they cannot define you! God did and He doesn’t place limits on His children. Be above the world and always feel the face of God smiling down on you when you run and live in His presence.

It's more difficult to reach the top of any profession as a person of color... so track and field is no different. That said, walking a mile in Dalilah's shoes is the only way for you to know her journey and what she has been through.
