so who is the real WR holder then? wrote:
Absolutely wild. Occam's Razor in full effect.
Nobody could believe it when it happened. 2:09 is ahead of Olympian elite men.
That record has been ratified, so what happens next?
Does this raise even more doubt about Assefa's 2:11? I think so.
Assefas time is still mighty fast, but it is 2 minutes slower and there are multiple women in sight of it like Hassan or Obiri and probably N’getich when she moves up. She’s also replicated it in some ways. Not saying it’s clean but it’s far more plausible than Ruth’s record ever was.
