Athing really is humble-at the Olympics when she won the 800 she didn’t even celebrate before or after the line until she congratulated her competition
Love and admire Athing Mu and her considerable gifts and achievements. Wish she was still at it. But she may have found a greater way to life fulfillment. Best wishes to her. As Africans, we are proud and supportive of her to this day!
Will be a sad day for track & field if Athing has hung up her cletes as you seem to have suggested. But join you in extending every happiness and hopes for continued success in her every endeavor !!
Worth mentioning that Athing Mu also won the silver medal at the 2018 Youth Olympics. The winner, Keely Small from Australia, was one year older than Mu (almost by the day).
That's a good documentary. My hope is that Mu, Hodgkinson and (give her a mention) Mary Moraa can push the 800 record down below the drug-fuelled times from the 80s
I love to watch Athing run. I think she loves to run, so why isn't she racing? When a coach keeps their stars locked up, behind the curtain, it raises suspicion and calls into question what is going on with the athlete. Whatever Bob Kersey is doing needs to be explained, with Athing speaking up. Better than letting the public speculate and question the methodology.
Have got to say any 400m race in which Athing Mu is competing can be nothing but more interesting for having her in it. Having said that , with or without Athing , the finals of the 400m women's event in Budapest will be in my opinion hands down the biggest must see of any race men's or women's this outdoor season . The 4 x 100 and 4 x 400 are probably the most viewed and admit that wouldn't want to miss any of the relays both men's and women's, but the talent pool for the women's 400m open is just f__king outrageous this year with Sydney now invested in it. Sure wish Adeleke was repping the U.S.A at world's but God knows we are super,super deep at the quarter mile here in the states and ain't nobody touching us in the Women's 4 x 400
Bob Kersey is a control freak just like the Colonel was with Elvis Presley. He has so many side deals going on that his athletes don’t even understand yet. He will never let them reach a star status competing in the same events this way he can double his money every time they run. They are nothing but thoroughbred racehorses selecting each event carefully.
Let's be honest here for a quick moment ..... what the "Powers to be" really need to do 🤔 is Eradicate EVERY questionable record from the 80's. Which is a LOT... It's so annoyingly clear that in the 80's a very large percent of the Athletes burning up the Track and Pulverized existing records were JUICED to the max. Yet many of those record still stand today 🤔🤔 ... c'mon man.
Furthermore.. did you see the part where she’s thinking about giving this up early for a modeling career..? Like… she’s pretty.. but she’s really not THAT kind of pretty to be honest. And why is it not something that she could do while also running..? Running doesn’t take up THAT much time and you don’t have to necessarily be tied to any particular location.. as long as whatever city she’s in has a track or even a paved road.. she can train. Especially if she’s only going to participate in a handful of outdoor meets every year. Absolutely no reason she couldn’t do both for another 15-20 years. I mean though.. it’s obviously her decision but I think it would be a mistake to give up such a god given gift for something else that I don’t think she’d be nearly as successful at and especially when she could easily do both at the same time if she really wants to do modeling.
Kersee is pushing Athing into the 1500m but I think it is because he wants to leave a clear path for Sydney in the 400m. And his allegiance is to Sydney first. But I think that does a disservice to Athing. We will see if she continues to have her closing speed in the last stages of the 800m now that Kersee has put her in 1500m races. If her closing speed is NOT there, then its time to put her in the 400m. She has always benefited from running the full gamet in her youth. But her first year of college, she ran her fastest 800m races when she was simultaneously running 400m races. He long limbs are great and grace full but she needs strong foot speed to get fast 400m times. Putting her in the 1500m race is not going to do that. Push Sydney and Athing against each other. Athing is not going to be the most decorated Olympian if you put her in the 1500m races. You are all but clipping her potential. Pretty soon she wont get considered for the 4x4 which she should run when scheduling allows. If we don't see Athing Mu move down to the 400m race in the next year or so, expect her to move to a different coach. It is far rarer to see a medalist in the 400m and 800m race. Having Athing break that boundary so people stop thinking of the 800m race as distance and start to really think about it like the sprinting with strategy event it is would be far more revolutionary for the sport.

Nonsense, she has to be beat so she appreciates it more, otherwise she will take it for grantec
@@tshifhiwaramatswana6862 what the fuck
A completely class act.
Coach Kersee will hopefully bring her to the point where she can legitimately make a run at the world record without juicing.
The best thing to come from trenton ever
The 80’s was a helluva drug
Full of ‘em
Literally! 🤣🤣🤣
It was horrible when she fell during Olympic trials.
Despite being a teen, she made the other olympians look like kids!

She is truly AMAZING!
shes so talented and gorgeous!
I know, way too gorgeous!!
Good video, well done. I hope Athing Mu continue to run and set a few more records...USA want that W4x400 WR :D
love the videos man
Awesome video! Really enjoyed this one, what an athelete
These videos are awesome, and I don't care about track and field, lol
When the aliens come and demand to see the fastest HUMAN you will😂
then why are you here commenting on a track video smdh
Keeley is gonna get her.
Agreed
Keeley is not touching Athing.

She will be a legend…❤
Thr 80s had faster 800m runners bcuz they were all juiced!
No words!

Bobby and A Thing of Beauty do not need to explain anything to anybody. Its her career and she will run when she is ready.
All those times back in the day. Eastern Bloc runners pumped up on steroids.
YOOOO I'd love to see her and Sydney in the 200 let alone the open 4. If they both do the open 4 Mens 400 hype is forgotten
No

you will never see them in the 200 smdh
Having doubts
good stuff😁
Mu is the best congratulations
Very good video good history good content

Wow.
There's no comparison against Ahting Mu. Too much talent is hard to beat.
Come 3rd today......

Sigh…stop making us fall in love with her. Her coach only seems to want her to run at championship races…BORING

She ain't gone Beat Hodgkinson
She's already beaten her all 3 times that they met. Keely knows her well from behind.

What's a good baby name? I don't know Anything or a A thing, I guess. No different than "Mercedies, Nokia, Sony or my favorite prophet."
Don't be ignorant. Her family is Sudanese, Athing is a Sudanese name.
