The M&M women Mclauglin & Muhammad both broke the world record! And both represent and appreciate the United States of America! The most popular M&M combination since Mantle & Marris !

What an accomplishment 2 great athletes exhausting at their craft and being proud to run and represent the United States of America!!! For both of them to break the world record is phenomenal!

Because still some revolution space in the world. So we should go to build medias, academic groups, art organizations...for propaganda and enlightenment. Then Advanced young people will appear,revolution teams will be built. People can be mobilized,powers can be gotten naturally.

Congrats! Tremendous Athletes!!

Is Muhammad an American name?

Nothing. It's not worth mentioning. Cuz 'Olympic medals no longer show off nation's cultural power', from The Washington Post.

Then it was never a world record

good
