Bring out the brooms: Kenya sweeps the women’s distances. Odira STUNS the world 1:54.62 as Keely gets the bronze

That was crazy. 1 54 and 3RD???? That was a race and a half.

Hunter Bell upgraded to Gold in a few months time

She was second favourite on the betting markets going into it? No where near as much an underdog as Gressier or Nader.

Seething Lets Runners are going to accuse her of doping

Wow. Wow. Wow.

Splits. Moraa took it out hard. 26.46, 55.73,

Sick of hearing about Keeley blooming Hodgkinson. Great that she got beaten. British media is obsessed here.

1:54:90 at age 32 lmao.

Hunter Bell is really be testing the Brits' nationalism.

Kenyan women gold medals sweep

Sage Hurta Klecker - 155? Wow.

What about Oidira having a pb of 2:11 at '20', taking five years off, having a child, and running 1:54 after one year?

A juiced up Kenyan is never an underdog.

I mean to be expected. Odira had a child and came back slowly in the sport. If you’ve been following her though, she has been putting together her season perfectly. She hasn’t had injuries like Keely and isn’t in her 30s like GHB. She got a great trip in this race too, compared to Keelys constant surging/positional battles with Moraa.

Starting a family is taking 5 years off…She is repped by Moyo Sports, a UK-based agency with a very good reputation btw.

Sage is Comeback Runner of the Year 👍

Haha, Odira lowered her PB by 4 seconds in 1 year. Makes me wonder what she is eating...

That's about like running a 2:05 marathon after coming from 2:20

In a 2018 WADA report on Kenya, 138 Kenyan athletes were found with prohibited substances. Over 80 athletes from Kenya have tested positive for the steroid nandrolone. Kenya stands for 32,5% of all the sanctions involving norandrosterone, a metabolite of nandrolone in track and field

If Europeans only raced in unpaced races in Kenya, they wouldn’t be running 1:56-7 very often. Odira ran 1:58 2 times in Paris last year, and then a 3rd 1:58 a month later. It certainly was unsurprising she ran 1:56 in Europe this year, but I’ll say that was a huge race today of course to go under 1:55.

Now GB will end up with zero Gold, relying on Keely and LoserBurgin.

"Odira" too hard for Coevett.
