Ngetich smashes 10k women's road record, 28:46!!!!

Was she wearing the Evo 2 shoes ?

That's an incredible performance.

No she was wearing Takumi Sen 9

I have zero trust in Road World Records. These same athletes get on the track in Olympic Level competition and never live up to hype. It was fun watching Rhonex Kipruto get destroyed in the Olympics and now he is serving drug suspension and Geoffrey Kamworor never won a track gold and Kibiwott Kandie has never done anything on the track. And this girl would get destroyed on the track. As far as I am concerned the woman who breaks 29 min on the track will go down in history regardless of what these people do on the roads.

You can thank World Athletics for their limp dicked approach of actually regulating and governing the sport, that World Records in almost all events are meaningless. For a variety of reasons.

Slow clap.

Remember when the Women's track 10000m record was destroyed by Ma's Army in '93? That was 29:31....on a track....and drug-fueled.

How many hostility toward East African runners...
Have counted the number of performances of East African and the poor results of your countries? you who are opening your mouth about "trust"...

Obviously you always bring the wrong explanation about runners destroyed in the Olympics but you forget something important called "support" and material resources of poor countries.

Obviously your East African Nuguse becomes bright and a prodigy from night to day because he has "fat salary" and "fat International meeting" like Eugene to forge his skill all the year.

Hmm you made some vry good points

Yitayew ABUHAY. Two time Israel 5000m champion (men)

28:56 in Valencia

Jacob ALLEN. 13:46 (5000m) PB

28:44 in Valencia

Shoes + PEDs

This is beyond ludicrous. 8:29 3k split. Okay, enroute splits are often inaccurate. Then 14:13 5k split. That destroys the world road 5km record by six seconds. But this is a 10km race that is 15 seconds under the wr on the track, 29:01. Come on. I know the road shoes give you an advantage over the track shoes but the men's winner is great on the roads yet ran 26:48, 37s behind the men's track wr, so I don't think the course was short or too downhill. There is no way this is clean.

Faith Kipyegon at least has the running mechanics to run a 3:45.

Agnes Ngetich does not. More side-to-side action than forward propulsion. Comparing her to Kiplimo (men's winner) is laughable. Kiplimo is believable; Agnes Ngetich is not.

Should they just stop running tomorrow?

Should all US women distance runners stop running competitively? 14:12 is 4:15 pace for 1500m…. We sometimes watch NCAA races that are won in 4:15

If you guys do really follow the sport, you would know Agnes had this in her after that crazy run in Brasov. She ran 29:23 all by herself in crazy heat 4months ago, what did you expect?

I'm not saying she's doped but if she can't carry this over to the track then obviously the shoes are more beneficial to her than we give credit.

On the track she should be posting AT THE VERY LEAST 14:15 for 5000m and 29:25 for 10000m. Her 28:46 WR is the highest scoring FEMALE performance in ANY event on the tack, field, or road. Agnes' performance score is 1340 the next highest female is 1314 Sydney's 400 hurdle WR.

Her 10km WR equates to a 2:09:50 marathon according to IAAF performance chart.

This is laughable. Nobody credible believes this or the #2 result.

An athlete from a country that has more than 270 doping bans since 2015 breaks a world record. The genetic superiority is breathtaking. Bless her heart.

There have literally been over 300 Kenyan suspensions since 2018.
