Please. If Touhy (somehow) would break 8 in the 3k, he'd say it's all due to talent.

According to the rules the record shouldn't be ratified because she was wearing prototype spikes..

Seethe, you pathetic homunculus.
You need help. Maybe contact your local mental ward and have yourself committed. If you think these folks aren’t doping, then I also have a fine bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

It's great that Faith now has the world record. She's a consistent and hard working athlete. Her competitors love her. They know who is cheating and who isn't. They respect her; it's great to see. She deserves this. She's been training in Patrick Sang's camp with Kipchoge.
No they don't. How would they know who's cheating and who isn't? It's not like they all hang out together and exchange doping secrets. Groups are isolated. I bet they can only speculate, just like the rest of us.
How do keyboard incels on this site know when someone is cheating? I would think athletes who are actually in the mix would have the best idea rather than keyboard neverhavebeens...

Faith Kipyegon is the GOAT. That said, crazy to think that Sifan Hassan is 9-9 all time against Kipyegon and also just won the London Marathon.
Hassan’s Doha 1500 final in 3:51 remains not just the most impressive 1500, but the most impressive distance performance I have ever seen, male or female.
Faith was just returning from giving birth in that Doha race, wasn't she?

Too bad for you or the rules. The record has already been ratified. Look at the current list of1500M women's ranking now 🤷🤷🤷

It will be super exciting to see what she runs by the end of her career. She’s 29 now so probably only has another 3 years max to try to lower it further. But with it been a WC year this year and the Olympics next year she will have multiple opportunities to attack it again if she really wants to.
Given some of her recent statements, I think she’s going to move up and distance soon

She was. They so conveniently leave that part out.

Depends on what you mean by “just returning.” She gave birth May or June 2018, and Doha was August 2019. It has been 14 months.
maybe I am giving that performance too much credit, but I am not sure even the Kipyegon that ran 3:49 yesterday could front run an entire 1500 and run 3:51. Probably close.

Well I was there sitting near the track and I witnessed at this track historic event !! To see live this WR was really an experience. As soon as Faith Kipyegon did her change of pace in the last lap I knew she was going to break the world record. Her acceleration is out of this world. Powerful , compact in her beautiful running style . She ‘s a force of nature . Incredible shape and I think she can deliver a great performance in 5000 too right now.

It reminded me of Ben Johnson winning at Seoul '88. We know how that turned out. Or Flojo running 10.49. The sport has been a joke for decades.

Yes allright maybe yes sure , but I ve decided to enjoy the beautiful event in Florence very well organized , in the beautiful Firenze Marathon stadium , With legends Like Sebastian Coe , Fiona May near us . It was an incredible night. 3000 steeplechase Almayew (she will do great things), 5000, and then 1500 with the WR. One of the event I enjoy more was the 12x200 relay with 12,13 years old boys and girls . 27 ,28 seconds every 200m!! winner team complete the 2400 meters in 6'04 !!!! On this last event I can bet all my money that they are totally clean of course. But again I ve decided to enjoy and watch these great champions without thinking about doping or other things . I m not saying that doesn t exist but what we can do? Is a big problem for sure and it's a ruin for the sport , it's all about
who makes the decisions to make the right choices to fight it.This post was edited 2 minutes after it was posted.10 -

Hardly. That would take a far sharper wit than yours.

The fact that you reply shows it stung. Good.

Except that 9-9 is deceiving as it includes 2 Olympics and WC finals
3 of those with Kipyegon finishing ahead of Hassan.
Imagine, what might happen when Kipyegon moves on up.
That little Kenyan i think is the best kenyan female runner of all time ...and that's while taking Obiri and Cheruiyot into consideration.

I see Faith Kipyegon as a 1500m runner similar to John Walker.
John Walker raced solid 800m times but John Walker was never going to medal as an 800m athlete. For his era, John Walker was a solid 5000m athlete but J Walker was never going to medal as a 5000m runner.
Like Walker, if Faith Kipyegon were to attempt to race 800m at Olympics, she would make semifinal and come up a bit short. Like Walker, if Faith K attempts 5000m at Olympics, she will finish 5th through 10th but won't medal.
