OMFG! This is some weird leg pattern! It's a miracle she doesn't trip herself all the time!
Read up on the recent studies that show that the human body selects the most efficient form. Plus, she is smoother than Radcliffe ever was...

How is she going to trip herself?
FWIW, her leg kick looks exactly like Suzy Favor Hamilton's (before her prostitution career)
Why is it that elite female runners seem to have much weirder form than elite male runners?
Why is it that jogging nobodys on letsrun think they know enough to advise elite athletes? Somebody's probably going to call me Salazar again for saying this, but if you actually did something (like coach an athlete that did well) then maybe they might hire you. Otherwise, nobody gives a shit except for more know-it-all nobodys on a site like this.
Arm motion looks funny, but how do you know her coach hasn't already looked at it and decided it wasn't worth changing?

Uhhhh....Kebede?
It's not ski jumping.
What amazed me about the video was watching Mo, Geb and Haille pass all those women without having to shove any of them out of the way...all at sub 4:50 pace. Crazy.

And none of those women gave them a butt shove.

You should be a World class runner too with your super efficient form, right?
It's her natural biomechanics, accomodating her bone structure, which is obviously not the same in every runner.
Jeptoo's form looks quite efficient. What is bad about that?

her one arm is swinging way across her body and her arm swing is super exagerated in general (wastes energy). Secondly, her legs kick outward in a shuffling fashion which also wastes energy which could be used to further propel her down the road.
But hey it seems to work so I guess it's not that big of a deal. She's much faster than I am.
bcoz she's on drugs?
Because excessive EPO affects the nervous system/coordination?
Form follows function.
She's knock kneed due to her bone structure and the flailing arm acts as a counter-balance. There's nothing she can do about it sort of having her skeleton reshaped.
Fun fact...THIS GUY has the highest running economy ever measured in a runner:

Take a look at THAT form.
Looks great.
