GRACE NAWOWUNA: 19 yrs old 29:47.43 100000m debut. I AM A FAN, you should be too

I almost posted yesterday that this thread by you was coming. It was obvious. Your ability to spot talent like hers is AMAZING!

I'm not yet a fan but can be later.

VIPAM you say you did not discover Grace. Who did you discover? Or why did you say this?

This young lady reminds me of Samuel Wanjuri- fearless, no kick, and incredible endurance early in her career. I can see her improving to sub 29:20 by Worlds and still at the age of 19 yrs old.

She just ran 29:47 at age 19 and you can see improvement. AMAZING!

It was a very great run by her yesterday. She just hung with Hassan and then had the gumption to try and surge! However, what happened on the last lap tells the tale. She needs to at least be able to close sub 65 off that pace if she wants to medal, and she needs to close sub 60 to win the gold someday. Nobody is/was stronger than Gidey at a young age, but Gidey had to improve her close for it to matter.

Should go 2 NcAAs

Does she not remind you of Alice Nawowuna? 29:53 10000

Same name, nearly the same time. Came onto the scene as a youngster with authority.

I was most impressed with the fact her mechanics are extremely fitting given her name. She looked completely unbothered, smooth as silk.

Another generation doped to the gills. 19 yes old. People should be going to jail.

And what happened to Alice?

Busted, of course...!

Super impressive. GEBRESELAMA, in third, also a name to remember.

Pretty quick time for 62 miles.

When I started watching the race, I thought that Alice must be back after serving her doping ban.

I'm guessing she is a relative of some sort. Same name, same running action.

I don't see any reason to compare her to Alice who was 22 when she ran sub 30 minutes at the 2016 Olympics neither was it Alice's debut 10000m.

Same to sifan Hassan who's doped to the gills!!!

Another Kenyan. Spare me. Do you guys simply ignore the farce that their sport has become?

Another worthless post from you. Spare us.

My sentiment exactly, if Armstrong and other posters only see and look for the negative in every performance or African athletes then stop following the sport. Go pick up something like Ivory or Dove soap carving since you looking for something 💯 percent clean.
