7:58.15. El Bakkali breaks 8. Jager fails again (he’s done). Kenyan dominance of steeple broken, time to roll out the next guy.

This trolling gets to me man, you're good at it.

Jager gold medal fave still for next year. By far the most consistent athlete on the circuit.

It wasn't the meet....

Its crazy how these men are allowed to compete in women's races. I mean come on, this is turning Track and Field into a farce. Not even the real women in the field want them there. I can't believe Dafne Schippers is allowed to compete. They are obviously a man. /s

monaco track, conditions and athletes present create the optimal setting for times.

when we speculate how fast a guy could go in theory, we mean, how fast could he go in monaco, in the right race.

a 330x in monaco is worth about a 335x solo on an average track.

this means you have tons of guys with the 332 or better PR, people that can't hold the jock of the miler greats from the past.

those miler greats of the past would be doing the 329 most of them, if not the 327-8 in those conditions.

guys don't want to get carried away saying, i'm a 330 guy, when a 333 on an average track, average conditions might easily be the superior effort.

in horse racing, they know about this phenomena and don't get too carried away with the time.....

all said, even correcting for the fast conditions, the results are incredible.

Father Time is undefeated.

Meet was so good it broke the homepage. That used to happen at every big meet but now almost never happens.

So we have three dopers from one family? Can you imagine three of them get busted for doping?

It would be better if only 1 got popped. It would be so funny.

I` m 100% sure they are not dopers! They have the talent and their coach, their father , have found the key to

top results in a natural way, mainly IMPROVE THE LACTATE THRESHOLD!

Leftist nonsense is why. Right Wings are so far from this.

Please define easily.

On the international feed, they are talking about us. Saying people on the US messageboards are wondering how fast he can run.

How about saying our name??

63.51 for that lap to 2:37 at the 1k.

I know you’re not asking for Tim Hutchings to acknowledge Coevett and Trollism by name.

Drew Hunter ran 7:59 in the 3000m in high school. The woman''s record is 7 seconds slower than he was at the time. He ran the mile in 3:57. Dibaba's 1500 converts to about 4:08 and we all now how doped she was. The difference is 11 seconds in the mile. That time should be increasing as the distance goes up until a certain point not diminishing.

Consistently 2nd. Unless he can find another gear there will be a revolving door of East Africans taking him down.

I say this as a huge fan of Jager.

The craziest thing about Chepkoech's was that she actually got faster in her last 1k, while running well under WR pace for the 1st 2k! I couldn't see the video, but did she actually hurdle the hurdles or do the "Kenyan hurdle"?

I hope there's a replay of this. If someone knows of one please post it.
