She's cooked, no WR, it's turning into a tactical race
LOL got over excited there.
Yep, shes asking LemLem for the pace as well.
Unless they can really get moving here. Tsegay would need to close in a 60 just to get to 8:19
7:52 bell.
UHHHHH!!!! 8:22.67
8:22, still second fastest all time I think?
Yep, very very impressive. Tsegay is a mental giant and can run hard even off a fast early pace.
8:22.65 per the live results website

Isn’t Madrid at like 2k feet? That shouldn’t make much difference at all.
I’m no expert on altitude adjustments. I was asking based on this WA preview that says “In the long distances, world records may be a bit of a stretch considering the issue of altitude, events longer than 1000m being affected in Madrid”
https://www.worldathletics.org/competitions/world-athletics-indoor-tour/news/holloway-madrid-world-athletics-indoor-tour-pEven if it’s a marginal impact—margins matter when you’re talking WRs.
I'm surprised Madrid is that high really. I suppose it must have SOME effect.
The sprint time converter says a 7.29 60m at Madrid's altitude is worth 7.30... so we can thank the altitude for one WR.

What do you think Lemlem can achieve outdoors this year?
With all respect to Dibaba, I think Hailu can be a strong #2 for Ethiopia behind Tsegay (1500) or Gidey (5k), and likely run somewhere in the 3:57/14:2x range this season.

No one should ever give any respect to an athlete associated with Aden or Pineda.

That’s a fair point, but I’d still treat her nice. Take her out to the nicest restaurant in town, buy her a big, beautiful steak, etc. etc.
Wow!
