She's Tirunesh Dibaba's little sister right? they got some good genes in that family
i have to have a laff !!!
i've been saying for years that women's 1500 was p!ss-weak
now does it seem so far-fetched when it was suggested that her bigger sister couda gone 3'53 outdoors in her 5kwr shape ???!!!
using standard 1.08 conversion -->
4'13.99 mile
Dang. Double dang.
To think she was a cross/5000 runner until she realized it would be too long before she could beat her sister there!
off note
the fastest non-chinese/ruskie time is boulmerka's 3'55.30 from gold run in '92
genze's indoor time is already quicker & probably at least 2s outdoors, ->
3'52/3'53
this is just the beginning
expect 'unexpected' times across the board
igf-1 r3 + hematide + resveratrol
it's going to be a big year..
Not to mention she was 2:09 at 800m meaning she ran her last 700m in about 1:46-7, unbelievable
have to wait for splits, but 2'09+ is 4'02 pace !!!
when we get the splits, it will probably indicate an even-pace time around
3'53i
( she can already have this & more like 3'51i considering she threw away coupla secs in slow pace to 800 even after evening-up splits )

Doesn't even look tired... is this the face of the new endurance drug?

Those splits are absolutely unbelieveable...I mean she coulda run 3:52 indoors even paced, what is going on???? Is the outdoor world record in jeapordy?

yes
haven't look at vid carefully, but off crawling pace to 800 ( for a 3'55 ), then evenning out splits & 2 - 3s for quicker outdoor tracks, she currently has to be currently in outdoor shape of
~ 3'49

Albeit her sister is extremely talented and she probably trains very hard and has near-perfect genes... something is fishy. I do believe a new substance has permeated the running scene. Few people accept the 1500 times of Ma's army. Now Genzebe is on pace to beat those?? I was skeptical of Rupp, I'm shocked by this, and I'm more or less anticipating some ridiculous times this year.
Well, Jenny will never medal again. White athletes lose over and over again.
She was at 2:45 with 500M to go. Looks like she closed around a 56 sec 400M.
I thought indoors was slower than outdoors.
How could she run faster than any non-chinese/ruskie time outdoors ever?
Paula Ivan ran under 3:54 in the Seoul Olympic final.
She was from Romania.
