    Gidey's sub 2:17 in her first attempt is great. She will break the record in the next 2-3 years

    Another know nothing who doesn’t know what the record will be when this allegedly is to occur.

    She's the only one who has the potential to run sub 2:14.

    I don't think the other experienced competitors can lower the current record by a lot ... maybe a few seconds at best.

    Do I have to spell it out for you? All Australian masters runners are doped to the gills.

    Think Jennifer Bergman was the first American woman, 2:31 and change.

    I’m done watching these marathons.
    most dirty sport these days.

    0% chance beriso or kiptum are clean.

    0%

    also pace making should go out of the window

    Are you sure? It appears there are others.

    There was a guy asking her to come along. She didn't follow him or else she could have the record.

    Is anyone else here a bit skeptical of the times? Multiple national records, debut records etc etc. Is the course short? Was the course set up in such a way that around bends you could cut short? Things just don’t add up for me.

    Beriso got screwed out of an attempt to break the WR. The pacer stayed with Gidey.

    Beriso just ran a 2:14, so Gidey is clearly not the only one.

    re: wejo

    In the prediction thread when Gidey was announced, I suggested the marathon might not be Gidey's optimal distance given her mechanics and got downvoted to oblivion. I said she'd run fast but not get the world record, especially not on her debut.

    I'm looking forward to seeing what Gidey, Ayana and Dibaba do going forward, but I think there are better Ethiopian marathon runners.

    I am kind of a jerk sometimes but thanks guys it is always more enjoyable to watch these races with others that have passion for it, even if I often find your opinions misguided.

    Get a life JWH. She wasn't in October when she ran 32:29.

    I think she's a true marathoner unlike the three I mentioned.

    Fair enough, and agreed--although I still think LG can be the class of the field.

    re: Conto

    Dear Santa:

    My only wish this year is that www.letsrun.com forums installs a filter that delay for 24 or 48 hours ALL posts containing the word "doping" and its synonyms etc - so as to make threads readable again.
