Ngetich smashes 10k women's road record, 28:46!!!!

anyone else look closely at her jawline/teeth/braces....has there perhaps been some industrial strength testosterone / steroids / growth hormones oozing through her body at some point to cause all this mayhem, or just a sweet innocent girl who is getting braces as an adult?

A surprising number of posters seem to be coming to a similar view that I have long held about doping at the top of the sport and especially African running. I'm just one of the crowd now. Oh dear.

The "plentiest" part will still be doping.

She was 6th in World championships at Budapest 2023.She had won the Kenyan trials prior to that then had a small injury before the championships she still managed to finish 6th.She has also been outstanding in the cross country circuit so far this year,same as last season.Its just that everyone has just been paying attention on Gidey and Siffan Hassan but there is a new crop of outstanding 10000m women runners coming through both from Kenya and Ethiopia. Watch out for Anyango she could be actually better than Ngetich .They are training mates in Iten Kenya.

Sounds like you're jealous. Guess they are faster than you and your little ego is hurt.

The AIU is focussing on the wrong country.

Lots of butt hurt keyboard racists here. When a white person runs a fast time, there's never any suspicion whatsoever. Spend less time whining and crying on here about others and train harder. It's hilarious watching how much y'all cry. Keep it going.

A woman running on the roads is now only a few seconds slower than Billy Mills when he won over the same distance on the track at Tokyo '64. And no hills. Why did anyone think he was any good?

I think people are looking it through an objective lens- an athlete represented by a convicted doper going through a 5k split (14:12) faster than the current wr and continuing on to destroy the 10k wr would raise eyebrows for anyone. Note that Rhonex Kipruto was also represented by this same group, which doesn’t help the situation. I don’t think it has anything to do with skin colour.

pending drug test.

It has nothing to do with skin color, and everything to do with a performance that is literally absurd. If you're going to dope your way to a WR, take a second or two off the existing record. Don't do what she did. It's laughable. Even more laughable than Assefa's 2:11 marathon. It's like those Chinese gals in the late 80's all over again.

probably a mix of EPO ,steroids,HGH and the fancy shoes all combining to make a super athlete.

Kenyans should be slower than your typical pampered American college girl runner, according to this board. Epic schadenfreude reading through the sour posts on this thread, by the way.

You're too young to remember but defenders of E Bloc cheats in the 70's were saying the same as you are today about Kenyans.

Except the East Bloc were dominating literally every Olympic sport while you lot claim Kenya has a cutting-edge doping programme that apparently only works for running and no other sport. What you've been pushing is that Kenyans are supposedly inferior runners boosted by pharmaceuticals only Kenyans use and the rest of the world hasn't discovered. Ludicrous.

Kenyans scarcely participate in any other sport. Their athleticism is suited to little else.

Zero athleticism here -
