False. They aren't comparable. Malmo is correct, that was a HUGE tailwind. I like Ryan Hall, but Mantz's performance today was better than Hall's, not a tie.
Shoes aren’t super enough for Mantz to run faster than Hall.
Hall > Mantz

No, Mr. middle-school. She came across as personable, funny, down-to-earth, articulate, etc.

You've been Mr. Negative all day. You should go out for a run and lighten up. Try it some time.

I would kill to be able to run 2:26 in my 40s. Kudos to Des. Can be a bit much in the press sometimes, but no one can doubt her grit as a marathoner.

Different year. Different tech. Same finishing place.

Des was amazing. Way to go out on a high.
Disappointing for Sara Hall who appeared to have a good build up? Would have expected her to be ahead of Des.
Emma Bates? According to our commentary she was claiming she could podium or maybe win it. I am a fan but she keeps over promising and under delivering. She may need to stop with the overly confident chat beforehand.

Not negative. Just honest. Sorry the truth hurts you.

Yep I saw bates saying she could win it too...

They need to allow all runners to finish over the same finish line without the separation and they need to make it more clear where the finish line is. You’d think they’d get that right after doing it for over 100 years.

Correct Malmo!
Even if we're being conservative, the super shoes are worth a minute, but most calculations say around 2 minutes at that sort of pace.
It's honestly not worth comparing times between eras, the shoes changed the game so much. Better to ask how Mantz's performance compares to others after 2017, the start of the super shoes era. And it compares very favourably.
people always say this, but it relies on an assumption that you (people) don't know to be true: that the person who ran faster is a super shoe responder. not everyone is.
