Kiplimo almost goes down slipping on a metal grate at 26:20 and then 10 seconds later some buffoon sprays him from head to toe with ???shaving cream???
I first see the shaving cream at 26:30 but I never saw anyone actually spray him.

Vaporflies.
this is getting ridiculous.
I don’t get this. They have had carbon track spikes for years...
The womens finish was pretty humorous. Glad no one was hurt.

Kiplimo Jacob? The managing company doesn't even know which is the first or last name?
Classy group.

Some of you need to get out and race more.
Awesome performance.
Kiplimo has been in Cheptegei's shadow.
100m net downhill on 10 km is a lot. Ten times more than what is allowed to make it a legit record.
I live in Madrid and run this route regularly. It's a gentle steady downhill almost most of the way, the sort you only perceive a bit when running in the other direction, essentially perfect for running one's fastest.
The course was not short. It was downhill and weather conditions were optimal at 50 degrees.

The course is not easy, it is very tricky. It is very easy to go out too hard and losing many seconds in the last 2Ks which are proper steep.

That’s Vaporfly. Moran.
Yes, Ryan Halls 2:04 was impressive as well...

Yet no one ran sub 2 on that day...
How exciting to hit LetsRun this morning and read about all of the Africans winning road races last night!!! Riveting.
I think i’ll tune in later to the Golf Channel and watch the Koreans knocking it around on the LPGA.

Not the fastest time ever for 10km. Remember the Spira shoe that had springs... in 2008 the male winner ran 25:43 in El Paso and the female ran 29:03...

Not clean.
I agree that the course has to be short. No way all these people ran that fast. Downhill + short = fastest times. When was the last time the course was certified, and who did it?
Kiplimo's previous best 10k road time was 28:17! No way he does 26:40 on anything but short course.
10 Kilometres 28:17 Trento (ITA) 06 OCT 2018

Ever heard of PEDs?
Cathal Lombard went from 14:30 for 5000m / 30 minutes for 10000m to 13:19 5000m/ 27:33 10000m.
https://www.iaaf.org/athletes/ireland/cathal-lombard-138431https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2004/aug/09/athensolympics2004.athleticsBut some fools before the it was revealed what was really going on, believed it was from doing some silly exercises.

Cathal Lombard was on the brink of abandoning his running career when his friend Gerry McGrath called up Joe Doonan to see if he would coach Cathal. Joe Doonan is known as the Coach of Catherina Mckiernan, irish record holder in the marathon.
Cathal was logging 120 miles a week but was getting no good results and a month long trip to kenya back in October 2001 and not quite lived up to expectations. The training that Joe mapped out for Cathal includes plyometrics and drills aimed at increasing strength and economy of effort.
I will post his training later
