What’s more impressive: new WR, going sub 2.10, or tenth among the men?

And she’s sprinting around with a flag cape immediately afterwards. I am not one to scream doping but what the actual f

I am having a hard time believing this...

Can we get a name on him?

Why the negativity? I mean, I don't think anyone doubts that the shoes alone have made many minutes of difference?

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.

I wish the Brojos could have done that for Paula Ratcliffe.

And she did a strong stride with the Kenyan flag almost immediately after finishing.

Nike has both World Records now

I’m skeptical. With all the Kenyan Busts, it’s just too good to be true.

Pretty incredible to see the boost that the Hyperion Elite 5 gave CJ. It finally has a full PEBA (DNA gold) midsole and reportedly has a pretty good bounce.

You must not have seen him make love to kiptum last year

That is really insane from Chepngetich. Assefa's WR was almost unbelievable really and now Ruth just chops off almost a couple minute!? And all after going out insanely fast

I think Assefa is racing Valencia, is she going to run 2:08 or something!? Anyway congrats Chepngetich

Running out of pacers

She's blown up before. Maybe that's the type of personality you need to run this. Kinda crazy.

She isn't doing anything that other sub 2:17 runners aren't doing. Level playing field.
