GENZEBE DIBABA 3000m WORLD RECORD 8.16

think about this - over 3000 meters she could just about keep up with Jager, if he had the full steeple rigamarole to deal with and she didn't.

Hmmm normally I give athletes the benefit of the doubt on great performances. But I just watched her 3000 again, and the 1500 from a few days ago, and see that she is obviously doped to the gills. By that, I mean, Daniel Komen levels of doping. You are supposed to be at least a little winded after smashing these records by that much. That was fun to watch but also very sad in some ways.

what were the obvious signs?

Wow!

Great point! O'Sullivan ran 8:21, and Radcliffe ran 8:22 and we can't believe that Dibaba ran 8:16 without drugs? Maybe Jama is using his USA University degree with a masters in Exercise Science to coach athletes to run very fast! Maybe a few of you skeptics can go train with him for a bit and see what it is like to run fast instead of your flying 17:30 5k. But hey lets believe that Galen can run a 4:01 mile after what he did 10 days ago.

C'mon Man, she runs two 4:08's back to back and finishes looking fresh as a daisy.......this is not real. We are being tricked again. these dopers are making a total mockery of T&F and road running.

same trick as bekele..no different

he was a doper too

I'm surprised to see how many of you can't believe the best Ethiopian female could be this fast. She is still 10 seconds away from the REAL 3000m record of 8:06 by Junxia. Indoor tracks are now arguably faster than outdoor tracks too.

She comes from the land of the best runners and her older sister is the best female Ethiopian runner of the past decade.

I would expect her to be breaking WRs back to back weekends, that is just how fitness works, especially for such a short race of 4 and 8:00 respecively. An all-out 4:00 effort doesn't take a month to recover from.

What the hell is wrong with you people?

YES SHE IS CLEAN. SHE IS EATING A HEALTHY DIET OF TURTLE SOUP AND WORM EXTRACT. FINALLY THE ETHIOPIANS ARE CATCHING ON TO ANCIENT CHINESE WISDOM.

I also believe she is clean.

Fun fact. The town she's from is @ 9200 feet elevation.

Maybe the answer is to live high-train high at >9k feet.

I mean she is the little sister of what will go down as the most talented group of track and field distance running sisters in HISTORY. They have world records and Olympic medals by multiple siblings. That is some good genetics. I say clean, but that is just my two cents worth. If she was to test positive it would cast doubt on all the great Ethiopians of past decade both Bekele brothers, Geb, Trinush, Defar, Shine, the list goes on. A positive by her would put all of those other great Ethiopian reputations in jeopardy, so I believe she is clean until I see something that says no.

The Chinese World record in a total joke, the Chinese were cheaters supreme.

not quite

i've seen 4'12.1/4'04.5 splits quoted

that's gotta be worth ~ 8'13i/8'14i at even pace

indoor/outdoor conversion for 3k is ~ 4 - 5s

she coud be looking at 8'08/8'10 outdoors in current shape

All WRs are tested. Nice "not" joke, by the way.
