Mens 5000m. Slower, but cleaner?

Everything surrounding the athlete has improved in 20 years but the times are going backwards.

According to Ovett, the Rieti track is short.

There is talk of this track being short (which probably means that it is).

There has really only been two significant advances in running since ww2, synthetic all weather tracks and Africans on epo.

So why are they not going backwards for women? 1500, 5k, 10k are a lot faster.

we are still in the "EPO era." The bio passport isn't used to eradicate EPO-using athletes, only to extract bribes from them.

And every fast 5000 runner took a dive this year to sell shoes in Britain.

Ethiopian women on EPO. Perhaps the E in EPO stands for Ethiopia.

Classic

The African women entered the running scene much later than the men.

It took some time to catch up.

Update Bad Wigins:

from another thread on Mobot's movie:

This is the key point that I think is the most important. It is the key to Mo Farah's world domination:

3) @21:28 Mo reveals that he likes to shave his head just before a race.

Bingo!

Where is Bad Wigins????

The 4 time Olympic gold medalist Mo Farah is using the WiginsShavedHeadâ„¢ Performance Enhancement Technology (PET)... as the most important cutting edge-harmonic frequency part... of his stupid Alberto Salazar training program.

Bad Wigins is correct…again!

Bad Wigins has done it again!

In conclusion:

Bad Wigins is a genius.

O'Boy Wigins.

It doesn't take a genius to realize that superior heat dissipation via a shaved head is a huge advantage. Ask Bernie Lagat.

Galen Rupp would whoop Mo Farah if he would just go cue-ball.

LMAO

Bag Wigins have lost the plot

He need to be institutionalized now at local mental hospital

He is literally gone cukoo :(

Tony the tiger is nuts

I can dish out insults too

read up on heat dissipation areas of the body including the scalp. Cue-ball Galen Rupp is track god, if it ever happens
