Running 240 miles thru a desert and winning against all competition is very impressive, but how on earth do you spin that to a generalization like "she dominates men in ultra races" is totally beyond me. >Does she win every race she enters? No, of course not, but when she wins, she sets records and we are not talking seconds or minutes. You literally made my point.

So to say she dominates, mean she must win every race she enters? I don't think so, otherwise you just literally made my point, men don't dominate women (i.e. they don't win every race). Yes, she dominates...when the 2nd place male athlete isn't even close that is domination. 10 hour victory from her 1st place to 2nd place, 75 minutes from 1st place to 2nd place...that is domination in running.

  This is what domination looks like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%ADlian_Jornet_Burgada#Selected_results https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%ADlian_Jornet_Burgada#Sel... She is THAT, for women. She is not that for men. Case closed, or at least it would be with anyone who actually runs ultras, or runs at all. If you can't understand that breaking a record by 10 hours means that the previous record was shit, then I don't how to help you understand that. In any case I don't like discussions with people who hide behind throwaways. Because I have a feeling you're just trolling me. Push your weirdo agenda as hard as you like, I don't care. People like you are ruining this forum.

    No one would argue that isn't consistent success at the highest levels of running. >If you can't understand that breaking a record by 10 hours means that the previous record was shit, then I don't how to help you understand that. I get it you don't like women, and their success threatens you and your identity. What were you saying about weirdo agenda? You can't seem to acknowledge the few hundred men who have been unable to break her record (or come anywhere close for that matter). >Case closed, or at least it would be with anyone who actually runs ultras, or runs at all. I look forward to watching you compete against her in a future Ultra and showing us all how she is shit and her records are shit. In fact, as your accusing me of using a throwaway, tell us all your real name and these Ultra's you have competed in and lets see if we can find a single race where a women didn't beat you.
