    Sorry but I have to question Odira:
    At 17 her PB was 2:08 and 2:11 at 20.

    She then takes a long maternity leave, and comes back at 24 in 2023 to run a series of 400m races in the 57s and 58s. Average grade school times.
    In 2024, she posts a bunch of 800s over 2 minutes2:00 before getting under 2-flat twice.
    Then this year, in 2025 she runs 2:16.73, 2:04.46, 1:58.31, 2:08.35, 2:02.08, and 2:13.85...then a 1:56.52 in August.
    In Tokyo 1:57.86, 1:56.85, and 1:54.62 to be a world champion.

    That is not right

    I call BS.

    I think this might be the 50th "this athlete did great, they must be doping?" thread of these World Champs.

    Yes, she clearly should’ve been above the required 1:54.88 cutoff to be seen as drug-free. She blew it all out of greed!

    She successfully snatched away Bell's most questionable progression crown.

    African runners are often inconsistent. Sometimes it’s because the race was run at altitude.

    I don’t know about other reasons (money?).
