Fisher isn't even ahead of Rupp.

Rupp ran 3:50 indoors, 7:30, 12:58, 26:44, 59:47, and 2:06. And a 1:49 in the 800.

Rupp did it without the help of super-shoes and bicarb. And Rupp rarely chased records in time trials like Fisher does.

Why in the world would you think that Rupp didn't use bicarb? The use of this substance as a legal PED has been widespread for 4 decades. Do you honestly think Salazar wasn't aware of it, especially for mid-d?

Who was the last person to have all 3 world/Olympic standards (15, 5, 10) in the same season? Bekele?

Bonus: Has there been anyone who has had the 8, 15, and 5 standards in the same season?

Sifan Hassan 15,5,10 standards in one year (Latest's to do it)

Said Aouita 1988 tried the triple getting bronze in the 800 but I believe he hurt himself in the rounds of the 1500 and didn't make the finals. Was the WR holder for 1500 & 5k coming into the games. Never was the same after that.

I know that it's different eras with supershoes and competition and lights and bicarb and stuff, but those PR's are crazy versatile.

For reference, some of the greats have run:

Bekele - 3:32 (3:49 mile), 7:25, 12:37, 26:17

Kipchoge - 3:33 (3:50 mile), 7:27, 12:55, 26:49

El G - 3:26 (3:43 mile), 7:23, 12:50, N/A

If you use World Athletics points, Fisher comes in at 6th all time in terms of points:

I added the 4 scores I could find on World Athletics for 1500/mile, 3000, 5000, 10000 using Grok.

Rank,Athlete,Total Points
1,Jakob Ingebrigtsen,5124
2,Kenenisa Bekele,5120
3,Haile Gebrselassie,5096
4,Noureddine Morceli,5032
5,Bernard Lagat,5006
6,Grant Fisher,4993
7,Saïd Aouita,4981

For reference, Webb came in at 4843. El G unfortunately never ran a 10k. Points systems are far from perfect, but this is an interesting list. I’d say Fisher is in heady territory. Also, Grok is far from perfect and you have to double check each data point, eg it confused the Daniel Komens…

Kejelcha is another range guy: 3:31.25, (3:47.01i mile), 7:23, 12:38, 26:33, 57:30

I think Grant will run 3:30mid, 3:47, 7:20, 12:35, 26:20 and 58:30 or faster for the half by the time he's done.

And a 2:03 marathon in Berlin why not

One guy with world qualifiers in 800, 1500, 5000, and possibly the 10000m was Alan Webb, who ran 1:43.8, 3:30, and 13:10.86, and 27:34.72. However, only the 800m and 1500m were in the same year, 2007. He ran 13:10 in September 2005 and 27:34 in April 2006. I can't confirm that 27:34 was a qualifier, but I think the standard was in the 27:40s or slower at the time.
