Simple comparison of Tirunesh Dibaba and Meseret Defar's 5000m times to Wang's 3k time on Jack Daniels VDOT tables indicate that both Dibaba and Defar ran 5k times equivalent to about an 8:08 or 8:09 3k, so Wang's 8:06 is not an impossibility

Comparing Pamela Jelimo's 1:54 clocking also indicates that she ran a time equivalent to a 3:52-3:53 in the 1500 meter...




I guess I missed the part where Dibaba followed up her 14:11 with a 3:51 three days later. And then the day after that an 8:12 3k. And then the day after that an 8:06 3k.

Here's are Wang's marks, by the way. Of course, she was qualdrupling back from a 10k, not a 5k. But if the VDOTs are all the same I guess we should just throw all of that out the window:

September 8: 29:31, WR
September 11: 3:51.92, #2 all-time (now #4), betters old WR
September 12: 8:12, WR
September 13: 8:06, WR
