I think doped. She's ran a 15 heat then a 3k heat. a 15 final winning in a cr then a tough 3k final winning in a cr with a 2.44 last k 60 second last 400 all in the space of 3 days. It's just ridiculous to not question that.

One month ago she ran 3000m 10 seconds faster, and she's run 3:55 for 1500 meters last year, these times are just good workout. Meanwhile, Cheserek is tripling in mile, 3k and 5k, why don't you question that?

What's your next brilliant accusation, that Obama of tapped Trump's phones?

He's imply that her times aren't elite because she's slower than a lot of men.

Like Keniano and his Brit obsession, it's this guy's particular obsession.

Ah, ok. Thanks.

I love the way she runs. It's just pure power!

unfortunately like Pre also a disappointment showing in the Olympics.

It is unbelievable what "ALTITUDE" training in Africa can do.

There must be some really special air down there, Mo also liked it very much.

When they found out about air in Tibet - records will start falling on the daily basis throughout the year - tapering is not needed anymore. Salazar can do it 2 times a year, but now it can be done weekly. Impressive.

hat does that have to do with Laura Muir?

From the Guardian:

“I wasn’t expecting someone to be on my shoulder with 300m to go,” Muir said. “But I put the welly in and came away with the win.”

Nothing, it seems, can stop Laura Muir, who produced a storming display of front-running to win her first major gold medal – and shatter a 32-year-old European Indoor Championships 1500m record in the process. Not her opponents. And certainly not the overzealous official who tried to block her going on her lap of honour.

After being pushed back several times, Muir produced a nifty side step and did what she usually does: shoot away into the clear yonder.

“I had to fight for that didn’t I?” said a smiling Muir afterwards. “They said: ‘We don’t have time.’ I thought it’s my first medal. I’m not going to lose out on my lap of honour. I’m going. Andy, my coach, was saying: ‘Do it,’ so I got there in the end.

“I couldn’t really believe what she was saying.

But I thought: ‘At the end of the day, she won’t be able to catch me.’”

In conclusion:

1) No one can catch Laura Muir!!!

Laura Muir is the most exciting female human runner on this planet at the present time.

Go Laura Muir!!!

Hopefully, unlike Pre, she will get a second chance. I don't imagine his race in Montreal would have been handled the same was as in Munich, had he lived to run it.
