On Sunday at the German national indoor championships, Konstanze Klosterhalfen ran a remarkable 4:04.91 pb. Making that time all the more impressive is the fact that she won by 20+ seconds (2nd place was 4:25.34) and there were no rabbits.

Pretty cool! Germany's new superstar in the making. Is she always a front-runner? She needs to get into better races with higher level athletes. This is a glorified time trial. Dropped the pack within the first 50m!

Disturbing.

Great, gutsy run by a tough competitor. She is too thin though. And by a fair margin at that. I sincerely hope that she can make it to a healthy weight and continue to run at a high level. Easier said than done. -

Among German women, sure. Among women's middle distance performances, not even close, have you missed Muir and Dibaba's runs? -
Even Hassan.

It wasn't a world record like the rest of us have, therefore, no big deal.

You are comparing experienced competitors to a college kid? Come on... -

College kid? She's a year older than Jim Ryun was when he set the WR in the mile. Besides, it was the "best performance," not best "age-graded performance." Quit making excuses. Fine run, but nowhere close to best performance of the year unless you're her mom. -

Nobody cares about Jim Ryun's times though. This is 2017, his times are far from relevant in this discussion. She just turned 20 like a week ago so this is crazy impressive, especially since she just front ran a time faster than what she ran outdoors with competition. If she's running the 15 in Belgrade she's definitely a medal threat. -

Good God, the guy just said he didn't think it was the performance of the year, he wasn't suggesting it wasn't impressive. But when multiple world records have been set indoors this year, the standard for best performance of the year is going to be understandably high, don't you think? -
Not the performance of the year but certainly a very strong run from here. Could be a medal threat in the 1500, mabye bronze, the gold is out of reach.
Laura Muir will take that if she doesn't make a big tactical mistake.
The european juniors seem to be running strong, at the women's side we have Klosterhalfen and men the new star is Jakob Ingebrigtsen.
Hope the both turn out great seniors at well in the years to come. -
Don't post staff like this. The poor Americans. Their greatest talent is someone called hasay or so.

um, Muir and Dibaba are long time pros. Klosterhalfen was a junior just a week or so ago, so yes to many her run will be more impressive, especially considering how she is progressing. If Efraimson just ran a solo 4:04, this board would be on fire for 3 months.. -
Beteween ED's, intersex and androgenizing drugs, women's middle distance running is a full-on freak show.

She has been at that weight and running at a high level for years without any injuries or any drop in performance. Her weight seems to be just fine for her. -
Everyone here in Germany thinks she has an ED. She's 5'9 and not even 110lbs. That's really unhealthy. She's unbelievably talented, and naturally of a very slight build, but she has been getting alarmingly skinny as she starts to ramp up her training. She hasn't been injured yet, and I really hope that doesn't happen, but -
Most elite runners at her height weigh well over 120 lbs, and a healthy BMI starts at 125 lbs, to put it into context. I'm also concerned that other young girls here will try to slim down to look like her.
I really hope this isn't another young talent crashing and burning out due to an ED.
Mädel, iss mal was :( -
Lol. No. Not everyone in germany thinks that. Don't lie so much. Different people can be healthy with different weights. also this is high level sports. Its never really healthy to to things in an extrem way.
