      @@enigmaticgenius7717 I disagree with you! So much time has gone by and of course people are much faster today due to training, diet, track technology, shoe technology, etc. However, Ashford was far more dominant than SAFP! Let’s not forget, she had not one, but TWO world records…something SAFP has never had. Also, something folks need to understand about people like SAFP…she is a championship runner. In other words, SAFP loses races tons, then wins the championships. Evelyn simply always won her races, then turned around and won the championships as well.
      Obviously, SAFP had more medals (which is another thing…Ashford was robbed of ability to race some events due to political reasons and boycotting), but, I believe you need to think again with your claims, because Ashford is one of the absolute greatest in history.
