Joan Benoit-Samuelson 2:54 today at age 57

Masters record?

Women's age 57 record maybe

Age 57 record (if allowed)

That's the story of the day

why should Boston be legal for AGR's if it's not legal for WR's?

World F57 record is 2:54:29 by Jung-Ok Kim (Korea) per ARRS list: http://www.arrs.net/SA_Mara.htm, but they use the IAAF record eligible course criteria, so Joanie's 2:54:03 on the Boston course wouldn't qualify.

Good run, but Tatyana Pozdnyakova would have smashed that if she'd not retired.

into that headwind today? they should make it eligible. She'd have run 2:51:_ in better conditions.

Joan is the little engine that could

And you'd be normal if you weren't a complete moron.

And if she had not taken drugs, she would not have run the times that she did before she retired.

And if you weren't on drugs, you'd have a brain.

Wow, you spelled moron correctly, which must be a mark of your higher intelligence.

67th place woman at 57. She is amazing. 1984 was 31 years ago.

Yes, she is.

It also shows the ridiculous lack of depth in female distance running.

Dude

She is 57!! She ran a sub 3 hour marathon.

Are you not impressed?

I am. Very very impressed.

How many here, male or female can run a sub 3?

Let alone, over 55 years of age.

This is an amazing accomplishment
