Incredible. With the shape Chebet is in now, does anyone think she could possibly take a stab at the infamous 3,000m world record? How close could she get?
First sub-14 for women! She should have won the Overall World Athletics Athlete of the Year award over Sifan Hassan.
Probably should’ve waited until the year was over to give out that award.
Seriously...Chebet should've won anyway. The only event Hassan could beat her in is the marathon, and good as Hassan at that Chepngetich ran the best one of the year.

Probably not. You need a woman who can run 3:51-3:52 for 1500m and can also run atleast 14:10 for 5000m. Kipyegon is the best bet.
Remember when Jiang Bo's 14:28 was considered comically doped?
Women will be running in the 13:30s soon and "running journalists" and letsrun soyjaks will be eager to tell you all about muh shoes and muh training methods which made this possible.
Clean women are running about an entire minute slower than this farce. Just brutal.
Just a LetsRun public service reminder that there has been no anti-doping testing in Kenya since July, and that there have been nearly 400 Kenyans suspended since the ABP in 2015.
