8'20 times shouda been commonplace a decade+ ago
i saw lotta races by szabo / adere / paula / ouaziz when they shouda broken 8'20 but they got involved in tactical battles & pace crawled to a jog before bell-lap
szabo's "ole" wr was epic, made by paula but she only jogged thru 2k in something slow like 5'37
8'20 is really a pretty poor time
it's just that the gals now are attacking it more & not letting their foot off the gas thruout

Did you ever take an exam?

Rule No 1 answer the question!

Ayana was more impressive because she beat Dibiba to do it

full of sh!t man, 8:20 is the 5th time every run by a woman on the track.

all other 4 before her were from the famous Chinese 1993 dope squat

Ayana ran her time in a 5k so you can extract between 5-8 seconds

last 3k in 8'20 = Boss :)

Ayana's last 2k was 5:30. The world best is 5:25 by Sonia O'Sullivan.

Ayana and Dibaba are in the same league as were the Chinese women of 1992/93 era.

re: face it, it's not pretty

at zurich today, ayana ran away from dibaba by four seconds on the last lap of an 8:22 with a 64.8 or 64.9. Dibaba is surely not 100%. I'd understand if it was a 60 or better, but Dibaba at 100%, which in previous seasons has often been only in the early season, should be able to hammer the last lap off that pace.

The 1,500m final took a lot out of Dibaba. She needs a lot of rest.

The worlds took a lot too out of Wayde Van Niekerk. He should have rested.
