That women's 10,000 standard is crazy.
Do you realize that only women born in 8 different countries have EVER broken 30:20?
ETJ, NED, CHN, KEN, GBR, USA, ERI, NOR.
Only 39 women in history have ever broken 30:20. It would be the equivalent of the men's 100 being 9.88 (39 men in history have run that).
78 men in history have broken 27:00.
not even 8, as Dutch athletes Kiplagat and Hassan were born in Kenya and Ethiopia. Fastest born athlete in the Netherlands ran 30.29 on the roads.
