No he doesn't. In this Monaco race, the one Kenyan-turned-American just ran the #5 time.

First time he's won an international meet of note. Good for him. Interesting that he's been training without any other BTC guys in SM. Maybe they can't hang anymore.

Evan "+++++++" Jager

Awesome race by Jager, better off watching race on Youtube after the fact, as NBC coverage is absolutely horrible, they have no clue how to broadcast a track meet.
00 -
if he wins the gold medal this year at WCs he has a good reason to chase the sub 8:00 for the next 3 years. otherwise might not happen

He's 28. If he doesn't do it this Summer it will never happen. He definitely is in shape now and was (the fall) poised to do it!

Jairus Birech is done. A shadow of his former self. May actually be good for Kenya to lose the worlds so it hastens the old guard being put out to pasture and let the new younger guys have a go.

For about 7 seconds Jager had the top 10 american times ever.
00 -
Jager ran that steeplechase silky smooth the whole way... He looked almost too relaxed... like he could have gone 7:50 if he wanted to.
00 -
Just watch the ad-free nbc gold version, Cram and Hutchings are great. Only knowledgeable announcers in the business. Best $60 ever spent.
00 -
What does the $60 cover? One meet? A month? A year? Only NBC stuff?

Kebenei, USA, ran 8:08.30 today for third today. US got first, third, sixth and seventh today! MAGA!

"Cleared" ... Read the LRC interview with him...
Basically with my case, it was run through the initial test and a computer flagged it. And that little line that you saw on the document with my name on it where it said blood values abnormal, suspicious levels, likely doping, is what is spit out by the computer. And after it was sent to that first scientist, he looked it over, I think maybe looked at my past blood results, and he waved it off saying, yeah, this is normal for this athlete at this amount of weeks at altitude. There’s nothing to see here.
So after that first stage, it was sent to someone and he cleared it, which is why apparently I never heard anything about it. The IAAF or WADA never contacted me and they kind of checked me off the list saying that I was clear.
So that’s how it was explained to me. And I’m trying to get a written statement from someone within the IAAF so I can try to publish that.
00 -
True. That's why the computer gave him 5 stars, and recommended all the follow-up testing as well.

Whoops, I thought she beat that guy.

Paced by veteran Huandi Zhong, Wang reached the halfway mark in 15:05.69, on even pace to break Kristansen's 30:13 WR. Running well within herself however, Wang would quickly seperate herself from Zhong and unleash her trademark second-half kick.
Recording consistent km splits in the 2:50 range, Wang would cover the next 5000m in an incredible 14:26, 11 seconds quicker than the then-world record. Even more astonishing would be her final 3000m, covered in a scarcely believable 8:17.5, over 5 seconds ahead of Tatyana Kanankina's 9 year mark of 8:22. With a 64 second final lap, Wang crossed the line in a historic 29:31.78, breaking Kristansen's WR by 42 seconds and becoming the first athlete to break the iconic 30 minute barrier - and by a significant margin. The final km was covered in 2:46.99
It would take 15 years - at the Beijing Olympics suitably enough - for another athlete to break 30 minutes and come within 30 seconds of Wang's record. The record still stands by 23 seconds.
A week later at the same meet Wang would set the current 3000m world record of 8:06.11 (4:07/3:59 1.5k splits). She reportedly ran a marathon a day, running between 180-200 miles per week.
----------
no problem for this "chick" to finish a 5 k of 14:45 in 1:57
Wang's fastest 800m was 1:58.
