Is this the only range of distance where a girl pace a WR paced race for over half the distance?
For distances up to 200m, they couldn't reach the men's WR pace. No girl could pace a 1500m WR race for half the distance, maybe 600m. For longer distances it gets more crazy. Imagine the hype if there was a girl who could pace Bekele for the first half of his epic 12:57, 26:17, 2:01:41.
For 400m or 800m races it would be easy to find a girl pacer to pace a WR race for just over half the distance. Could this ever be done or is it against the rules? Discus
