    The only bummer was the lack of excitement, the lack of understanding of the historic nature of what we are seeing from the TV announcers.

    She did a fantastic job of tightening the screws in that last k, going 34.58, 34.12, 33.14, 31.81, and then cruising home in 32.62.

    Which is roughly the same strategy Jane used back in December when she ran her 14:44 CR. Followed the rabbits thru 3000 in 8:59 then squeezed down the pace running low 35s then 34s then 33s.

    Today, much slower, going thru 3000 in 9:15, kept those mid-high 35s going thru 4000 in 12:13, then the big squeeze down to a couple of 34s, a 33, the 31 back-breaker, then a 32 closer.

    Just speculation at this point since she's so young, but Jane & Diljeet seem to have figured out the strategy for Jane to win 5000 championship races.

    Let's see if she employees the same strategy tomorrow in the 3000.

    And no one will accuse her of doping as they have the runners that came in 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th.

    Odd...

    I wonder why...

    Because she’s the only one not from a country that has half its athletes busted for doping ?

    I told everyone in the Millrose Jane vs Doris thread. Jane needed to use the Almaz Ayana tactics to beat Doris and it worked 👍.

    Yes, BYU stumbled upon your comment and based their entire training plan and race strategy around it.

    Why can’t the clickbait title read ‘dominant’ NOT ‘dominate’,

    I ask, is it that hard for the lrc founders to spell or conjugate?

    OUT..

    Not necessarily but it is the only possible LOGICAL way for a athlete to beat a faster closer, burn the kick out of them and go from WAY OUT and hope to break them.

    It may not work every time but Almaz used it enough to win MAJORITY of her races against faster runners like Genzebe and Tirunesh Dibaba.

    I would go further and state this is the "Jakob moment" for all of US women's distance running.

    A young women with historically supreme fitness -- now with a kick she used with surgical precision to dispatch one of the world's best distance runners.

    The US has had several milers with those skills, starting with Mary Decker thru Jenny Simpson on thru today with Nicki Hiltz.

    Also in the Steeple with Emma Coburn & (briefly) Courtney Frerichs.

    But in the longer distances?

    Excluding the 10,000 because we're probably still a couple years out from seeing Jane in that event, Shelby Houlihan's 4th last year in Tokyo was the highest finish ever by a US woman in the 5000. And, it took Shelby several years after moving up from the mile to accomplish that.

    Given Jane's long, lean build along with all the aforementioned racing skills, she sure looks to me like she's becoming the American version of Italian Nadia Battocletti -- the only woman on the planet so far who has proven a non-African-born woman can win medals against the East African superstars.

    So, yes, very insightful to call this a "Jakob moment." The race where Jane first combined her otherworldly fitness with tactics and a kick to take down one of the world's best distance runners in a championship race.
