SUPER SEVEN: All-Time list became their playground

Vipam

Interesting stats, who do you think dominated their event

the most. My pick is for Haile and Daniel.

10k Runner

Heres my picks:

1. Khalid Khannouchi

2. Wilson Kipketer

Hicham El Guerrouj

3. Catherine Ndereba

** Daniel Komen

** Haile Gebrselassie-5000m

6. Haile Gebrselassie-10000m

7. Mose Kiptanui

Although all of the above are incredible, I was impressed

by Khalid the most.

I knew Hicham was that dominate in the 1500m but not

the rest of them. Those averages are truly phenomanal.

Did you do anymore?

The SUPER SEVEN just turned into the Elite Eight. The first post of this thread showed the SUPER SEVEN and Paula

Radcliffe (GB) should have been included, heres here

(3) fastest 10000m, cumm. average, and ladies who beat her

cummalative average.

Paula Radcliffe (GBR)-10000m

30:01.09

30:26.97

30:27.13

Avg Time: 30:18.36

Only 4 women have run as fast as Paula's avg, only 2 if

you discount the Chinese 1991 performances. Ingrid Kristiansen (Nor) 30:13.74 and Derartu Tulu (Eth) 30:17.49

Gete Wami (Eth) is on her way in the 5000m she have 3 sub

14:40's which is more than any other female.

Vipam

Does anyone else have any 1990-2002 stats that fit this category?

What happen to Szabo in the 5000m and Derartu Tulu in the 10000m

10k runner, what's the weather like up your own ass? How long has your head been lodged in there, and can you gaze at your small intestine from its current position? Geb lost no 10k's from 1993 to 2001. He was world champion in 1993, 1995, 1997, and 1999. Olympic champion in 1996 and 2000. He has never failed in a world record attempt at 10k, and currently holds the world record. He has lost one 5k since 1993. It was right after the Atlanta Olympics, where he had hurt his foot. He holds the WR in that event too. Basically, he never lost on the track.

He is the greatest runner who has ever lived. Compared to him, Komen and Kannouchi, and Ndereba suck.

Sorry to be so harsh, but your list absolutely sucks.

Again, I ask, why do people always forget that Gebrselassie is the greatest? Where have they been for 9 years?

Judgement to US Miler. End of argument.

US Miler and Chief Echodat

Maybe you two need to return to a comprehension class, as

I think Vipam was refering to individuals who have dominated the ALL-TIME list (not medals). So go grab a cup of coffee and pay attention to the threads and posts!

I got 6, but I preface it with this. What about Gaby Szabo, or sveltana Mastercovea or Maria Mutola, I believe these also dominated (at least without actually looking at the list) the all time list at least combined.

Yes, its not in the 800-Marathon category, but I'd be interested how names like Michael Johnson (200m or 400m), Maurice Greene (100m) and Carl Lewis (LJ) would fare in their events.

Alternatively, VIPAM, can (I'm sure you can, but do you want to)you historically come up with other DR's who dominated like the elite-eight? Mourceli, Virren, Clark?

TrackGreek

I thought of those before I made up the list and right away

I know they wouldn't make it. Maria Mutola and Masterkova

won when it counted; however, neither of them has multiple

marks than when averaged would still place them in the top

10. Gaby while she runs fast, Grete Wami is better than

her as far as multiple races (Grete 3 under 14:38, Gaby 2).

If I am wrong please correct me on Gaby.

Vipam

actually, Geb did lose a 10k from '93 -'01

I remember he came 3rd in Edmonton (01)....

yea, he didn't lose from 93 until 2001....2001 was the year the streak was ended by kamathi. thats what vipam was saying.

Others?

Maurice Green (fastest ten in the 100m races)

Michael Johnson (fastest ten races in 200 and 400m)

Carl Lewis (longest ten long jumps)

I do them Saturday afternoon, I just finished hitting the books and will not be up much longer. It will be interesting- I'm guessing Carl Lewis average will be around

28-1, Michael Johnson 200m 19.89, 400m 43.81, and Maurice

Green 100m 9.90. While I will find out in the morning!
