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 )

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.
