Come again, why does this Dunfee guy has such a big fanbase (on this forum in particular)?

He’s among the most outspoken athletes across all Olympic sports. He’s not afraid to say what is on everyone’s mind while still being polite about it.

Because he’s speaks for athletes. He’s not arrogant. He actually enjoys speaking with and engaging with his fans. He brutally honest about what it means to be an international athlete. He’s a champion of clean sport. 
 

He does have some down sides (he’s not the greatest race walker, he can be combative at times), but he’s one of the most genuine athletes you’ll meet. He’s one those athletes that acts like a normal person, and doesn’t pretend to be above everyone else. He models behavior that is good for young athletes to see.

He'd probably run for the Athlete's Commission elections in Tokyo if he could. Well, he needs to wait until Paris because of Hayley Wickenheiser.

I think he’s more interested in doing work within World Athletics. I could see him as the President of World Athletics one day.

For some reason his first name is spelled wrong on his WA profile. :lol:

Minsk will host the 2021 Superleague Team European championship

Why does it feel like Minsk always steps in for every postponed event ever? :d
