I knew it when I saw her on the start line.

No, you didn't.

Kenyans and Ethiopians continue to make T&F a complete joke.

The craziest thing about Chepkoech's was that she actually got faster in her last 1k, while running well under WR pace for the 1st 2k! I couldn't see the video, but did she actually hurdle the hurdles or do the "Kenyan hurdle"?

Yes, anyone faster than Americans must be dirty.

From being ridiculed as “wrong way Beatrice “ at the worlds to massive world record holder. Let the hate begin.

No "hate." Just boredom and acknowledgement that your country is full of drug cheats. Enjoy your hollow victory.

Looked like she had another 10 seconds in her. Juiced out of her mind.

Yep, this is a step-function.

Helllllooooo 9.79!

broke it by 8 seconds... what a farce

what would we say if someone went out today and ran 12:30 for 5k, or 7:13 for 3000m, or 7:45 for the steeple?

she hurdled acceptably. not the chespol bunny hop thing.

8:44, wtf. Okay, I'm on the train that there something illegal about this track. It's simply too good to be true.

Destroyed the weak world record = proof the women's steeple is too easy compared to men's.

Of course you don't because then you'll just spiral down the trap of trying to figure out if the new NR is Australian born or not.

And also we have a new Australian NR!!!

I only consider times run by the Aboriginals to be national records.

I don't consider it the national record because Snell ran the equivalent of 1:42 on grass, and on top of that, would almost certainly have ran 1:42 at altitude in Mexico if he had had the financial means to continue on to then.

Well, this women 100m brought this meet back down to earth. Not bad, just pretty average for the diamond league.

Lets see, I'm predicting a 3:26 mid from Cherioyut and a 7:54 from Kigen

Illegal short trampoline track

Doped up "teenage" East Africans

SUPER FAST (but fraudulent) times

I honestly dont know what to think of the new WR 8:44.33. I guess wow, really!

80 degrees 80 percent humidity. No real wind.

Many will study this day for years to come. There's something to this combination.
