On the theme of enthusiasm - or perceive lack of it in the forum - for Amanda's attempt... good point to raise!
I was thinking about this ref Kajsa (lack of enthusiasm on the forum) if anything... since her attempt could have been outshined by the more impressive attempt so far and fame of Amanda, but that is just a background thought of mine.
Personally I have little to add, but I am following both women eagerly. I feel more empathy towards the attempt of Kajsa as it is closer to the way of the original record, as it was Steve's vs the more "speed-bare-bone" approach of Kurt and Amanda.
The British ones to me seem more of an adventure the overseas one more a professional race. Both are great and as impressive and admirable... is just what floats your boat I guess.
I do not think that if there is a lack of crowd clapping and cheering is due to Amanda being a woman, gender inequality is heavy in mainstream sports but would doubt it applies here (no issue of equal pay-sponsors or a lesser capable athlete right?! She is getting no retribution and is thrashing the previous male records so far it seems)
Maybe we have been spoiled with Steve, Kurt and now Kajsa to follow that the general attention is diluted and not the case of not interest in Amanda amazing progress, grit and guts?
