The Most Mysterious Runner Ever

- Very young prodigies in distance running aren't the most uncommon thing in the world. What is uncommon, is the nature of how some of these athletes rise to worldwide fame, as some may be the product of a more sinister side of how the sport recruits these young superstars.

1:36 The Bulgarian narrators sure do put a lot of emotion behind the narration that's for sure. You sometimes gotta love the emotion put behind a microphone.
Great vid -- rough situation. Would be cool to look at PEDs in track and field vs more obvious sports like weightlifting, powerlifting, or strongman.
Great video, and unique perspective that most don’t even bother to consider!
Another fantastic vid bro. Love it!
Great video
9:09 I'm not sure what context "grooming" is being used in here. Kilonzo was banned from athletics kenya in 2009 because evidently athletes travelling requires permission from AK and he circumvented this.
If you are a top athlete, you should at least be able to make a good living from the time at the top, but unfortunately these runners from poorer home countries do not get proper financial support.
So, I have no problem that they run for richer countries.
It happens in most sport.
I mean.....are any of the top field not doping?
I am assuming it was tough for her to leave her family at 16, but going to Bahrain sounds like a great opportunity for her. This doesn't sound like human trafficking to me. She was payed a lifetime supply of money in Kenyan standards.
Yeah, young athletes getting scouted happens in every sport. Even moving to other countries isn't uncommon. A soccer prodigy in the US will almost certainly move to Europe at some point possibly by the age of 16.
Case in point: Lionel Messi moved to Spain when he was 13.@@David-ud9ju
for a soccer player to seek a European club is a natural move from a career point of view. Europe has a historically founded football culture and for a young talent to make it into a top 5 club in France, England, Spain, Italy, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium etc means coming to an academy where everything is professionalised and taken care of from diet, training, sleep and education and eventually get the chance to play weekly on full stadiums. Coming to Bahrain means going to a place completely derived of any historicallly rooted culture of athletics or hardly any other sports in the traditional sense, especially for women !
and where women likely have no access to sports events as spectators
We gonna go viral with this one
Eliud Kipchoge used to change my diapers and wipe my bum when I was a young lad.

eyo, new video
Getachew is up there also
Yeah, her progression is otherworldly on paper. She had to have been competing under the radar or doing tons of time trials to be going from 9:53 to 8:54 lol. Also very strange she began her professional career at 24. Definitely an anomaly overall.
@@RunnerBoi Getachew is almost certainly DSD. She was entered in the Tokyo 800 before being pulled from the starting line at the last minute. Then she switched to steeplechase, which is obviously outside the restrictions. Recently I searched online and found an article saying Getachew was pulled from the Tokyo 800 based on a dispute between the Ethiopian track federation and Ethiopian Olympic committee over her "hormonal imbalance." Apparently one organization wanted to take a risk and the other did not.
Regardless, as you mentioned the bizarre aspect is she shows no results on World Athletics until age 24.
Yea dude I definitely feel bad that she cheated and got caught
name change?
Yep, from "Run & Lift Productions" to "RunnerBoi". I personally prefer the latter though.
She just won again world championships 2023
This runner was aware of cheating for several years. That's an ethical choice, no excuses.
Bruh this is why people need to actually respect the word "grooming" for its original meaning of adults hurting children by convincing them It's ok to perform romantic actions with adults. That article at 9:13 clearly says he's grooming people for stardom, yet you say he's had a history of grooming, which makes all of our minds jump to awful things. Do better, man.
Also, I think a girl moving to a richer country to train is completely acceptable. If Kenya wants to keep their talent, they need to offer competitive pay. The problem arises because she was a young girl being forced to dope. If she was in Kenya she'd have a support system of people who could tell her that doping is wrong and bad for her body and career, but in a strange country nobody is there to look out for her. That's what the real problem is here. They need to have at least 1 parent come with underage kids, cuz they really don't know any better and a kid by themselves in a strange country is also more likely to get hurt in worse ways than just being forced to dope. Ways that have to do with the true meaning of grooming.
Ahhh. She's the TJ Dillashaw of women's steeplechase!
p̶r̶o̶m̶o̶s̶m̶ 😱
Woke whining
It a man…man. 😂
you mean HIS!
thats a bloke
who?
im confused. all olympic, high level people look muscly and ripped in any sport you pick, it's just the way of it. when you've got like no bodyfat and train all the time that's what you look like
