The fact that he did it in Barcelona -I'm from here and have run it once- is... insane, beyond nuts. I know they changed the course to make it faster. I need to analyze the new route in detail but it WAS not a particularly fast one.
Here, the course: lots of turns and even a turnaround.
Here, the altimetry
WTF could he have run in Valencia or Copenhaguen today???????
Hurray, finally a clean WR from a legit East African again after a week of suspicious white boy WRs. Rightfully East African supremacy, always. This model of success cannot be broken. Grant fisher knows that.
Helluva NO! Look at his skin and his face he is East African, the rightful birth place of world beating distance running genetics, not Grant Fisher nor Nuguse. Not even Jakob.

Joshua Cheptegei mentioned he doesn’t use bicarb nor Maurten bicarb so the same must apply to kiplimo. Ugandans can be trusted to be clean or are cleaner than Kenyans. Ethiopians too. The only explanation left to explain 56:41 is talent and genetics and increasingly many are saying due to lack of radio frequency in Kapchorwa. Very good nurture and adaptation when there is little RF.
I suspect the drafting helped a lot more than the bicarb. He was close behind the lead car for most of it.
Every WR has a lead car anyway. That doesn’t explain anything. His legs still need to do the running. Can’t be bicarb either as the HM is nor really a lactic acidosis event and more aerobic. If you want to mention drugs it’s more likely EPO for aerobicity rather than anaerobicity. It’s just true blue East African genetic talent and low radio frequency exposure in Kapchorwa. Cheptegei’s butler mentioned that mobile phones are banned property at training camps since fall of 2024. Somebody tipped them off probably from letsrun
