Women's 400m - 2021 NCAA track and field championship

Texas A&M freshman Athing Mu not only blew out the field in the women's 400m, but set a new collegiate record with a time of 49.57. Athing Mu is one of the superstars in NCAA women's track and she's expected to run the 800 as she goes to the U.S. Olympic trials and tries to make the U.S. Olympic team in the 800m race.

Was never a dream for us nilotics to be a runner. We are the tallest darkest people on earth. mu has proved out stereotyping wrong. Now will let ma kids try out track . Because we always knew that's for kalengins in kenya and uganda and Ethiopians.

@@rickyreward226 track is a wonderful sport for kids - so many events that there is something for all shapes and sizes. The youth track clubs know how to make it fun and they don't work the kids too hard to burn them out, so I hope your kids do give it a try - especially with their genes...that provides a tremendous advantage that many of their competitors will never have.

She is so fluid and efficient. She looks like she is jogging. Amazing. Congratulations

[@edwardjones717]

She looks like she is jogging because of her body frame 5ft 10in 124lbs. and long legs. I've seen high school boys same frame taller 6ft 0in 144lbs with real long strides when they ran and people would love to watch watch them run.

@Whisky James I say a cheetah or a Greyhound is a better description of her body frame.

@Dakari Hill Yes but the shorter sprinters like Felix, Nasser, Jackson, Okolo etc..... don't have that same look as Mu although they say Felix has a long stride. The long legs differentiates the two types.

Kyra Constantine had a good run. We’re the same age so I used to see her at meets all the time back in high school in Ontario. That girl used to dominate, and she’s set multiple records for different events. Used to remember her sweeping the 1,2,400m every meet. Obviously the girl was going places. I’ve seen her in person countless times too. One of my teammates who raced her said she was sweet at and humble before races lol. It’s kinda cool to know someone and then see them reach such high levels. You go Kyra!

[@butt49good73]

Beautiful just beautiful I’m so glad she went to college first before going pro people like her and Sydney in my opinion did the right thing further establishing themselves and proving their worth as opposed to some others who were less successful skipping college all together.

[@Haroldpurplecrayon]

The comment about her speaking well had nothing to do with her race for all of you in the comments. The commentator was referencing her age (she is young) and well spoken/mature in her responses/interviews.

[@joys8634]

What is the problem if it had something to do with her race? Most of them don't speak proper, so who gives af if you think they are racist

[@gp9775]

Yeah, but that is often said about Black women who don't use AAVE, which athing doesn't, so in that context it seems a little off. We don't know the commentators true intent, so we can't say "it had nothing to do with race" because only the commentator knows that, but combined with the historic context of the phrase that comment sounds iffy and probably shouldn't have been said. as a Black person who doesn't use Have I am weary of that phrase

This is insane. To put things into perspective, she'd have won gold in the 2017 IAAF World Championships in London with this time.
