Gwen always struck me as a thoughtful low key yet intense athlete. I wish her nothing but the best. But i still cant wrap around my head her proclamation, goal or whatever you want to call it. If she pulls it off it will be amazing but i have trouble believing she can qualify for the Olympics let alone win gold!

It's a goal, not a prediction. She's a real long shot just to make the Olympic team, let alone win gold, but you've got to admire her for taking such a big risk. Plus setting such a big goal is good marketing. She's clearly a very talented runner but still has a long way to go to be a real threat to Hasay, Cragg, etc. but it will be very interesting to watch and I wish her well.
