The Dibaba FREAK SHOW Continues... New W.R. 2000m - 5:23.75

Old record was weak. 5:23 is equivalent to 3:56/3:57 for a 1500

those are some nasty splits. this girl is definitely on something, but crazy talented still

Beats the outdoor record to. Crazy stuff.

yeah yeah, the 2k is great and all.... BUT LETS SEE THE 800!!!!!!!! HONESTLY, STOP DODGING THE GOAT DISTANCE!!!!!

mcmillan calculator indicates that 5:23 flat (just over 4:19 mile pace) is equivalent to 1:54, 2:30.1, 3:55, 8:22, 14:43 (??). So, she is clearly ready to challenge Mutola's 1k record. It is a farce that this drug show continues, and the arrogance to have this in Sabadell!

Coe knows nothing.

That violinist was rockin out

Was Sonia O'Sullivan on drugs?

Glad these boards did not exist in the 1960s. Jim Ryun's 3:51.3--50 years ago--was far more ridiculous than any current performances.

Obviously, Dibaba is worthy of heightened suspicion because of Aden but we cannot just assume that every good performance is doped.

So basically it's not that good a performance but arouses suspicion?

Fresh as a daisy!

Disgusting!

It's not every performance though is it. She is an Aden athlete so your comment makes no sense

When will this fraud come to an end?

How many needles does her coach need to be caught with until these guys get busted? Is this case even ongoing or are we supposed to just forget about it??

Couldn't agree more, this continues to be the ultimate slap in the face to clean athletes everywhere and certainly makes the testing system appear to be absolutely useless. I mean some one was using those syringes....

You know nothing, Seb Coe.

1) there is no "2000m world record"

2) indoor is not slower than outdoor anymore, hence all these crazy "records," Galen Rupp solo'ing 3:51 and 13:01, and so forth, in the offseason.

It's sad. Dibaba always does well indoors and early outdoor season. Where she trains there's no drug testing so she just needs to come off before the competition. Outdoors where she gets tested regularly, she has to stay off and her results aren't so good toward the end of the season. Such a farce. Where are the Ethiopian whistleblowers? Perhaps they're all doping.

1) that's a 3:50.92

2) the record were not solo, he had pacers and in the 13:01 Chelenga was breathing down his neck til the last 400m

3) the indoor season is not an off season, it's the indoor season

When Genzebe Dibaba gets caught forndrugs, Haile Gebrasalassie will send her to jail. There is now 0 tolerance in ethiopia for this sort of thing

1) and it's his PB, isn't it?

2) It was indoors in a race nobody cared about and he was competing against one guy, then he goes out to Historic Hayweird Field and his adoring fans and can only do 13:14

3) it is the off season
