Khalid Khannouchi's old mark of 2:05:38 that had stood for 20+ years if finally no more.
5th place.
After a super fast first 5k (14:23), he ran pretty even the rest of the way. 62:19 at the half.
Thoughts?
Read as: Doper dopes using doped up super shoes in training (Voleros) with +55mm stack and likely illegal stack from forefoot to mid foot heel drop, multiple carbon plates/rods, bio mechanical advantage spring based Pebax foam, TUE for thyroxine, testosterone, EPO, and the new mitochondrial based medication and you want us to be impressed???
Khalid ran that in 2002 clean as a whistle in non supershoes.
This is as much a farce as Kipyegon’s 3D printed speed suit in her “breaking four” attempt.
Until there is a STANDARD for these super shoes and time grading for wind, course, conditions and mandatory bloodwork and urinalysis before actual record attempts this is no more than an overblown quasi-enhanced games.
