HOLY F! BLACK PAGE FOR THE YEAR. 3:49.11 WR for Faith Kipyegon!!

If exceptional performances are evidence of their own illegitimacy, than quit watching. If you have no evidence of someone's doping other than their achievements, then can it. Everyone knows what you're going to say anyway.

I've been a fan of Kipyegon for years because of her magnificent running, and the joy and professionalism she brings to her competitions. She's been nothing if not consistent over the years, hanging around in the low 3:50s, gradually chipping away each year. This run is no different from any number of Kipyegon's runs over the past few years, it just caught her on a good day, and was paced properly.

Call me crazy but I’m predicting a 3:46 lifetime best.

Closing in 58 with essentially zero competition? In June? I don’t even think this will be an SB for her as crazy as that sounds.

I don't watch to begin with. I just find it laughable that every so often on this board people celebrate complete nonsense as if it is actually real, and come up with increasingly dumb excuses to ignore the obvious. Metrics of performance and a slew of doping busts as the old excuses get obliterated are good enough for me.

astro go away to slow, boring Tuochy's threads. That's your level.

Thanks so much astro, for doing the Lord's work by trying to rain on everyone's parade.

If you find it so hard to find joy in incredible performances and think then everything is tainted why do you follow the sport. What's the point for you in all of this

Me when I boycott a sport no one cares that I’m boycotting but I still waste a reasonable amount of time out of my day posting on letsrun talking about how dumb the sport is and how back in my day the men weren’t gay or something and I’m boycotting the sport now idk

I must be honest in that I’m a little concerned that she’s also with the Patrick Sang group. Having two significant outliers in a group like that is extremely abnormal.

Comedy gold.

In other words, you found a semi-unmoderated board to troll, so you're never gonna stop.

And the only clean ones are Tuohy and Coburn, right?

I don’t like you.

Boing Boing shoes. The rate of World Records falling is 300% higher the last 2 years.

Come on, no Sang athlete would ever dope. Canova said so too.

Some say wow, others might call it unbelievable

Then how come El Guerrouj's and Komen's outdoor records haven't yet?

Of course when I ran 3:45 a few years back I didn't get no black page!

Not fair. My greatest achievement was on the BBC cycling board. Trying to tell Europaen cycling fans that their heroes (Indurain, Pantani, Ulrich) were doping was always an uphill battle. And mind you these same fans would attack Armstrong as a doper day and night. People suspend disbelief.

Anyway boys and girls, if you want to live in fantasy land, enjoy it. If this board was around during the Ma's Army era I wonder how it would respond? I am sure I would be accused of raining on people's parade. But here an athlete just ran significantly faster. How gullible do you guys want to be?

This proves you can train for a marathon. Any chance we could glimpse a replay of this leap? Plus you were able to scream too! You still got it Rojo!

Well we know about KT at least. But nothing gold can stay in this sport.
