By show of hands, how many people on this board ran the first lap of a 1500m at sub 57.5 pace (...and first 300m in 42.6)?
Jakob has not achieved that yet. Look at his Oslo race. Single file at 300m with guys such as Andrews, O'Hare in the field... and Jakob was not at 42.6 pace. In the Chinese race, the girls were still running in a pack at that pace.
Not enough turtle juice in China for 5 foot 3 women to achieve that.
Any ret@rd can see that these women are not running at the same pace as Jakob in Oslo
They simply started on the wrong line.[/q]
Um, how tall do you think world-class women track stars need to be?
Tirunesh Dibaba is 5'3". Meseret Defar is 5'1". And so on.
?? Dibaba and Defar have gone out in 42.6 in a 1500m (faster than Jakob, Andrews.... ever have)?
I didn't know that they had sub 3:36 potential
Ok, I stand corrected.
