Found this with a film of Mary Cain's 4:14 1,500.
World Jr.: W 3:51.34 1997 Yinglai Lang, CHN
WTF!
Mary Slaney, the U.S. best of all time, ran 3:57.12.
If that isn't proof that the Chinese records are either drug-assisted or on a short track, I don't know what is...
Especially cause it is quite close to Women WR
Absurd time, will stand 4ever
The Chinese women were really, really good....for a short period of time.
No proof. Highly unusual and suspicious but no proof.
That's nothing. I just ran a sub 3min mile. And you have no proof that I never ran it...
I mean it was really hard. I'm still out of breath... And I finished it about 10 min ago...
