You are reporting the following post to the moderators for review and possible removal from the forum Poster: tjmiler Subject: Paula Radcliffe should give Wang Junxia the benefit of the doubt Body: Paula Radcliffe stated in the article below that Wang Junxia’s induction into hall of fame was a “cruel joke” (http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/why-wang-junxias-iaaf-hall-of-fame-honour-is-farcical/story-e6frf9if-1226299264653). In actuality, when you look at Wang and Paula’s performances on Jack Daniel’s equivalent performance tables, their performances were actually relatively equivalent, with Radcliffe's marathon actually being slightly better.. For example, given Paula’s marathon performance, Wang’s 1500, 3000, and 10000 performances are not that impossible…Take a look at the 73-75 VDOT equivalent performance tables from Jack Daniels (Better training for distance runners, 2005). Perhaps Wang just had more fast twitch fibers than Radcliffe and was better suited for the shorter distances! Higher VDOT indicates better performance: Radcliffe 2003: 2:15:25 (75 VDOT, marathon: 2:14:55) Wang 1993: 29:31 (74 VDOT, 10000m: 29:34) Wang 1993: 8:06 (75 VDOT, 3000m: 8:04) Wang 1993: 3:51.9 (73 VDOT, 1500m: 3:52) Hit the submit button below if you want us to review the post.
