Rome Diamond League Live Thread: Will Beatrice Chebet make history and break 14:00 and the 5000m WR? +live reaction show @5pm

Doubt it, runners got to get World Records If and When they can, If She was told that, she could get some Injury Like Alicia Monson or Britton Wilson that it takes Years to recover from, and in the meantime someone else has broken the record and due to the Injury the Opportunity never is there again. Chebet also had the chance for a Historic Sub 14 on the Track.

Decent runs from Nadia and Josette. Not too far off Monson's CWR of 14:19.45.

Thats true,but most if not all the women in that race are probably doping.

I believe the heat probably also didn’t help her or Karissa. I’m shocked Josette ran so well in the heat.

I do think a 14:45 today is worth more than a perfectly paced 14:45-50 at BU or in CA, so I’d say right now she’d be 2nd in-line to make the team behind Josette.

Anyone else think Tim Hutchins sounds constipated during his commentary at times.

Anybody else notice that the "Mr 100K a Day" guy who heckled Gabby Thomas is in the chat on the world stream?

LJ and HJ keep getting worse

maybe gravity is getting stronger

Abrego Garcia is on his way back from El Salvador.

It's OK in the grand scheme of things. The concern is she is not progressing but in fact getting worse as it goes on.

She opened with an 8:31 (mostly solo), 4:20 mile, and a World Silver medal at World Indoors beating Jessica Hull.

She's at 4:04 looking ragged and 14:45 not close to that indoor form.

I get she will do a month of training at altitude until the Pre Classic 1500, so we'll see if she gets healthy and starts showing progress.

Too bad Nadia isn't eligible for the CWR

Heat?! 23-24 degrees C isn´t heat. And the sun was down.

Maybe I’m over-exaggerating. Some of the women, like Nadia, looked very sweaty so I assume it was at least humid.

supposedly 74% humidity, which you def feel.

I have a hard time believing Josette will be able to hold this form until September giving how OAC has peaked for championships the past couple of years

Hope I’m wrong though! She looked great. Even got dropped and then worked her way back

I'm starting to hate DL for the British commentators acting like the field events are so interesting.

It's their job and they make a fine effort, but I don't care about shot put and would rather not have to see it at all. GST must succeed

None of the 3 are from or represent Commonwealth Countries I think Faith Kipyegon or Beatrice Kibet has the 5000 Commonwealth Athlete Record.

Looked it up Chebet got the Commonwealth Athlete Record Today with her 14:03.69 breaking Faith Kipyegon had the Previous Commonwealth Athlete Record at 14:05.20

Everyone is sweating when running 22km/ hour.
