I believe only FloJo has run faster under any conditions??
Aged 32. Fastest time she has run in 8 years (10.79) and equaling Shelly Anne Fraser-Pryce's non wind-assisted time. (FP is 34). Another performance spike on the back of Covid, during which there has been a reduction in testing.
10.6 is becoming the new "11-flat".

Correct. And Flojo was 28, not 32.

And?
At 32 an athlete is not decrepit.

Not being decrepit doesn't mean you will be faster than in your 20's. Unless you dope. She was at her fastest at 24. Until now.

Nick Willis ran his PR in the 1500 at the ripe age of 32. According to you Nick Willis is a doper. Good to know.

It also doesnt mean you CANT get faster in your 30s
Interesting you havent questioned the track or the wind gauge before anything else.
Whats that saying about hammers and nails?

If you say so. But he wasn't nudging 3.26, the world record for the 1500 - unlike Okagbare in the 100.
Around 10.76 basic. BASIC.
WTF is going on, that is ridiculous from her. I saw the race, and again I wonder if the timing was accurate, or the wind reading accurate.
Her previous basic best was around 10.81, so this is plausible...but I don't think it likely.
Either they messed up a bit, or it is open season on drugs, or she had the race of her life. That did not look like a 10.76 run to me. I think they messed up.
I was not expecting this from her. Sheet, if it's for real, we may see the most epic women's 100m race for a long, long time.
But really, WTF? This is like the guys' 9.7-era, here we potentially have a women's Big 5:
SAFP, ETH, SCR, BO, and maybe DAS/CS--all 10.7 or better, if DAS gets there.
Seriously, WTF.
I think she looked really great, but it looked pretty windy and I wouldn’t be shocked if the wind was stronger than the reading shows, but that’s just speculation from me

Will you stop derailing this thread now that we have established that you are a racist cvnt?
Thanks.

It says you are a tool. If a sprinter is faster in their 30's they are juicing.
Of course you will "question the track" - do you think she was running downhill? - and the wind gauge, although the reading was a modest 2.7. Anything but recognize another aging athlete is now entering Flojo territory.

Oh now it's a sprinter. After the Nick Willis example... Nice. Moving goal posts. You are the tool here.
Think about all these insane times, and WHERE they were produced:
SAFP-hick meet in Jamaica
ET-hick meet in Jamaica
SCR-hick meet in Florida
BO-hick meet in Nigeria
CS-NCAA's
Not one of them has yet delivered an insane 2021 time on a big stage, at a major, where the setup is (hopefully) both accurate and reliable. The closest was CS who performed at the big NCAA meet, but hers was "only" a 10.86 basic.
It will be great to see CS and SCR at trials, hopefully conditions will be perfect and they can back up their times. As for the others, I won't believe it until I see confirmation in a well-run international meet--which at this point will probably be the Olympics.

So African athletes don't dope?

Let's see, you started by saying no one PRd at 32 unless doped.
The you moved goal posts saying that it was running close to the world record.
Then you moved goal posts again, saying that it was sprinters.
Stop derailing every thread with doping accusations.

The thread is about a sprinter. Moron. Nick Willis is not a comparable example. Except to an idiot.

BS. But, it's you, and that is completely expected. I ran 10.58 at 36yo... 10.64 in college. No juice... just big time understanding of speed/power training. I also develop athletes you've heard of to the highest levels of competition.
There was likely a lot of wind behind her, but she is training with the best coach on the planet. She will continue to get better for the next few years.
You're the single stupidest poster on this board. You know nothing of what you yap about.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
