    That is a meaningless analogy. My brother takes his own path through life and his decisions around who he socialises and mixes with will be very different to mine. So it’s unlikely that if he commits a murder I would be implicated by being related.- However if my brother and I share an interest and a talent within the very same sport and train together to improve ourselves within said sport, then it is fair to conclude that our experience, attitude and morality around training & philosophical approach will be in strong parallel.

    But you don’t trust Hassan’s achievements, nor Gidey’s, nor Mu, etc. You pretty much don’t trust the achievement of any global medalist of East African origin, do you? So it’s not just Kenya.

    In the same way I didn't trust the former E Bloc athletes. The E Africans are now the worst dopers in the sport, even though doping will be found everywhere.

    I haven't said Mu is doping. I said she would have to dope to break the wr.

    No I did NOT discover Grace but I did research she posted:

    1.) Fastest debut by any female in the 10000m

    2.) First female junior to run sub 30 minutes in a 10000m

    The youngster doesn't mind leading late against any competition. She placed 4th this year at the senior World X Country Championship and even lead late in the race. She has only run 3 track races that can be verified and two were at Nairobi altitude.

    Her move in the Hengelo 10000m were master class when she attempted to win the race by surging to the lead after 9000m against Siffan Hassan. She will get better and hopefully develop a better kick in the last lap.

    Watch out for Grace NAWOWUNA she got the talent, question is how hungry and how long will she remain focused and in the sport.

    Vipam I applaud your support and enthusiasm for a young talent - and I usually share your views. However in this instance I must draw the connection that Nawowuna is the younger sister of Alice Aprot (fourth in Rio 10000m and 4th in London 10000m WC) who was busted for doping and is currently serving a 4 year ban…..

    A necessary but unsurprising perspective.

    Do you really want to go down that road? The circumstances of Alice Aprot Nawowuna's ban have nothing to do with Grace, teenager. Just like Zane Robertson's don't concern twin brother Jake. Tirunesh and Genzebe Dibaba are sisters. Henrik Ingebrigtsen was on the Fancy Bears list. Oh, and King Charles is Jeffrey Epstein pal Prince Andrew's brother.

    Being related is neither here nor there.

    It is if they are not only family but elite runners coming from a country where doping is rife.

    They both participate in the same sport in the same country where doping is a serious problem. Would you have made these kinds of excuses for E German or Russian athletes?

    You haven't followed the constant parade of Kenyan doping violations. Kenya only just escaped a ban because they are trying to do something about their problem.

    Show evidence that Loibach and Aprot train together 🤷

    Loibach is many years younger than Aprot. Intact when Aprot was doing her exploits in athletics, Loibach was still very young. Do you really know what you're talking about or it's just blabbing unverifiable lies?

    Almaz Ayana was the exception to needing a kick to win a current World or Olympic title. First she didn't have recent in form Siffan or Gidey running the 10000m. But Almaz did have Genzebe Dibaba who was the WR in the 1500n and 2nd fastest ever at 5000m, what did Almaz do to win. Of decent couple of laps in the 5000m she dropped a 8:22 3000n to slowly break Dibaba before the final few laps.

    OR.

    John Ngugi 1988 Olympics 5000m took of after 3 laps running a 2:02 800m in the heat and then sprinting the straight aways and recovering on the curves.

    So, yes an endurance runner can win without a kick but the caliber of 5000/10000m runners they facing today it will be harder. But yes it can be done, so can Grace Nawowuna: yes but not AS likely but only time will tell?

    Yes, because in form Vivian Cheruiyot, Genzebe Dibaba, Hellen Obiri and Tirunesh Dibaba et al. were easy targets in the seasons of 2014-2017. Also remember they arestill faster than Hassan and everybody else (with the exception of the Ethiopian women who seem to will themselves to sub 14.20 clocking) over the 5k to date.

    Time will tell though, because no Worlds 10k has ever been won in under 30.

    Only at the Olympics do these ladies suddenly push themselves to go sub 30 to win Gold, silver and bronze Hehe

    But there is something happening. Kenyan dopers are being busted on a regular basis. They made up 40% of total doping violations in the sport last year.

    That's just the tip of that particular iceberg. Nothing coming out of Kenyan sport today can be trusted.

    So the older sister was doping - in a country where doping has become the norm - and the younger sister (involved in the same sport) won't be influenced by any of that? Probability is not a concept you appear familiar with.

    Well if Grace just ran a 10000m averaging 14:53xx per 5000m, it is safe to say she can run in the ballpark of 14:30 for sure, and likely faster.

    As for Armstronglivs, yes maybe she is doping. So what? Let us enjoy the sport and unless you are responsible for testing her, how productive is it for you to focus on this? Enjoy the sport if you can.

    i remember back in 1993 when wang junxia(the sifan hassan of her day) ran 10'000 in 29.31.78 and understandably there was a load of suspicion and an outcry.she also ran a sub 3.52 1500,and an 8.06 3000. Now we have a 19 year old kenyan running 29.47 in her first race.good grief !
