Mary Moraa is an inspiration to all kids. She lost both her parents at a young age and still persevered to become a global champion. Athletics is her way of climbing up the top and has promised to invest her earnings in supporting orphans in Kisii in Kenya. We should all support such stories because they teach us something about life.
Moraa's tactics looked pretty deliberate. Other runners have done similar but this was quite exaggerated, I mean she really slowed down, but that sprint in the home stretch was exceptional.
Lol. Mary Moraa is very naughty. She tested them at the very start and knew she could outsprint them all. In the end she does a dance as they sit on the tarmac and contemplate life. What a girl! 💪❤️❤️
I know she has a bronze from the 2018 Commonwealth Games, but I always feel bad for Natoya Goule. She is always somewhere there, close to the top. But not quite there. 6th in Doha, 8th in Tokyo, 5th in Eugene. I hope she continues training and gets to that top eventually.
Natoya has the talent to win medals but always seems to get her tactics wrong. May need extra coaching advice. She went too early and didn’t have the endurance to hold out against a strong finisher like Laura Muir.
@@danielclough86 no one should be suspected, much less accused, without evidence. There is significant variation in human capability in every area, including sports. Her beating Keely is not evidence that she is doping. It is more likely to be better training or superior genetics. It sounds like sour grapes when you accuse your opponent of doping only because they did better than your preferred participant. It is not sportsman-like.
I'm not sure it's a case of outsmarting her competitors, it's just that no-one else can run like that. If she'd run even pace I'd bet she'd have run quicker.
It wasn't planned, but she unwittingly took the field faster than they wanted to 400m, rested while they kept expending energy then had enough to kick past everybody.
@Esteban Green 800m runners usually run the first lap faster, than try to maintain velocity on the second with a strong last 100m kick. . She forced a faster 1st lap that caught half of the other girls off guard. So, by the time they processed what was going on, 1/3 of the race was already over. . My theory is that she trained different for this outcome bc it was unconventional and no one would see it coming; by they time they realized, it was too late.
The commentator changed narratives like 6 times on that last lap 😂😂😂 ... from Moraa being inexperience, Hodgkinson being able to outrun all of them to Moraa being the strongest he's ever seen on the home straight
Very biased commentary on Moraa. She is still inexperienced. Unless she can run away from Hodgkinson, goodluck trying to run from Hodgkinson. This is what Moraa does, she is slowing down. She has gone to the back of the field. Suddenly when it was clear she will win, she becomes the strongest he has ever seen. Mary Moraa eventually won it. Congratulations Kenya.
Yep, I agree it sounded a pretty biased commentary, and that made it even better when Hodgkinson got beat, the interviews Hodgkinson gave before and after the race made her sound quite arrogant. She is a very good runner mind you.
"she *always* *tends* to beat her" Always means every times. Tends means more likely than not. The commentator was scared for Keely he forgot his English.
The sentence "She always tends to beat her" is grammatically correct in English. In the context of the sentence, "always tends to beat her," the word "always" implies a consistent occurrence, indicating that Keely consistently beats "her" in a race. The word "tends" suggests a likelihood or a tendency for this outcome to happen, though it doesn't necessarily mean it happens every single time. So, in this case, the sentence implies that Keely usually or frequently beats "her" in races, but not necessarily every single time.
No, it's correct. Always = every time, but here it is conjoined with "tends", thus 'always tends' = 'almost always', since tends = usually or consistently happens, BUT NOT NECESSARILY, every singe time. @thomasb4152 = correct.
@@luciuskaesar6409 This isn't some analysis hombre. This is English grammar. Adverbs of frequency eg *always* must follow rigid syntactic rules. Always + infinite = every time. We can go line by line through the commentary: First he states some fact about Keely: *"this is what Keely is good at she can just accelerate away from here"* Alright. The he adds the nonsensical part: "IF she is ahead of Moraa at the top of the home straight"* The present simple form, *"she WILL always tends to beat her"* This is the future form. Thus the syntax of the whole sentence is in the form of the *FIRST CONDITIONAL* This construction is used to discuss *FUTURE* possibilities and not facts (that's for the zero condition). So this isn't some data from previous events that one can work out the percentage of outcome. What he then says about Moraa betrays his earlier claims: *'the Kenyan has got something extra she's the strongest I've ever seen in the long straight"* Wait a minute! Isn't Keely supposed to accelerate away from Moraa if she's ahead down the straight? But now she's doomed because Moraa is the strongest "he's ever seen" running down the finishing straight? Just stop embarrassing yourself hombre.
@@kundakaps Wrong. From what you've written it's perfectly possible to conclude that you always tend to be overconfident with your understanding of the English language
She has a certain set of skills and... I wonder that Athing is considering skipping world's. She may have no chance. If Hodg. doesn't break she'll improve and Moiraa will level up again. Great dynamic!!
I remember actually being in that stadium and watching Moraa. From first to last then last to first in last stretch. I felt that she'd done that deliberately to make it interesting for the spectators. This video misses her dance at the end. Again, I think she done that to make it interesting for the spectators 😂
Nyasae abakwe!!!(Praise be to God) Hongera sana Moraa for bring pride to Kenya. Honestly proud of you. The coming Government ought to foot you education to back to Campus. We are all proud of you. This is the kind of rivalry that should be natured between back at home between our sister from southern Nyanza (the likes of Hellen Obiri) and those from the Rift, the likes of Chepkoech etc..not political. Clearly the competition among us is way head of the rest of the world. Lets create athletic sport rivalry between former provinces in Kenya. Lets build modern athletics tracks and raise the level of our rivaly and the whole world will flock to Kenya. That my vision and humble way of celebrating Moraa Gold medal. Congratulations to Chepkoech who at 18yrs delivered a Gold medal at 3000m steeplechase. Good stuff Kenya ladies.
@simonhearn2028 it's very common knowledge that she can only win gold without Athing Mu. Let's not act like everyone doesn't know that she'll get beat after the games, the first race she enters with MU. Lol y'all couldn't pass that luck to Mr Kerr the choker tho🥴🤡😙😂
