12:43!!!! The year without a sub-13 finally sees 8 in one race, 9 PRs, and from an American perspective a huge surprise in "washed up" Ben True going 13:04?! What a race! The only downside is Ahmed not going sub-13.
BAREGA ONLY 18????
Yeah that 13:04 was pretty pathetic.
ah, memories...
barega now better than Kipchoge

No.
Same story as all these other E. African phenoms. Overaged (probs 26 or so), been on the dope for years. Italian coach/agent. Don't believe any of this.
Stewart McSweyn
prior PR 13:19.96
today 13:05.23

Age is largely irrelevant when the time in question is 12:43.
I'm saying some of those guys are clean. Didn't see the race, but we know Ethiopia have a great team training effort, vide recent letsrun article.
Last lap 56.15 per DL website.

7'30"7 last 3k and 4'58"1 last 2k for Barega. Wowzers.

1:54!!! Dream on! More like 1:56.50-1:57.50
In other words, she's somewhere between the 3d and 8th fastest American woman ever?

Bit late m8. You'd expect that though from a top class 1500m runner.

Eat your heart out. Ethiopia finally have Geb and KB's heir and they'll be sweeping championships for the next decade. So much for times slowing down.
