Yes, anyone faster than Americans must be dirty.

No, but anyone that runs faster than any woman in recorded history by EIGHT SECONDS must be dirty...

I don't consider it the national record because Snell ran the equivalent of 1:42 on grass, and on top of that, would almost certainly have ran 1:42 at altitude in Mexico if he had had the financial means to continue on to then.

Coulda woulda shoulda didn't!!!

C'mon isn't that a classic saying all older white dudes know.

It's not a farce. The WR is soft.

They need to raise the barrier heights.

Remember, flat 3000m for Men WR is 7:20, record is 7:53

Women's flat 3000m is 8:06, record is 8:44

You tell me which is soft.

I swear on all that is holy that i did. She had the look, unmistakable

You think everyone that wins is juiced so your opinion on the matter is useless anyway.

To be fair, Chepkoech has run 4:03/8:28/14:39 and even Jebet hadn't put down anything like that on the flat.

Potential WR for Sergey in the 110's?

You could have pointed out that Snell was from New Zealand. I would like to see a world class race on a grass track and see how many can run 1:44 though!

8:44, wtf. Okay, I'm on the train that there something illegal about this track. It's simply too good to be true.

Any all comers coming up in Monaco?? Anyone else down??

No but they should have!

Do you sit in the corner alone at parties?

Even if you want to somehow argue the women's WR was "soft," she not only broke it by EIGHT seconds...

she PR'd by 15 seconds.

That doesn't just happen normally

Good lord

Schippers and Prandini

Intelligent, graceful, gorgeous, CLEAN!!!

Wow - Frerichs! I worried that it might take a long time to back up her performance from the WC, but she took 2nd in one of the best women's steeple fields ever!

I would say it's a bit premature to say the crown has been passed (remember Rupp outkicking Lagat in 2012). I think Courtney needs to beat her in a championship race, or establish a winning streak, but we definitely can say this rivalry will be great to watch in the years ahead.

Yeah, but 8:44 for the steeple has to be equivalent to like 8:10. That's sick improvement.

Holy 8:44.32...

She averaged less than 2:55 the whole way.

The bar has been raised

Raise the hurdles at least 3" joke

In the women's PV, I noticed that Suhr passed at 4.80m, with three women already clearing 4.80m. You think that is smart?

Is it just me, or does Schippers not look as muscular/cut as she did before?

That would be pretty amazing for a Kiwi to hold the Australian national record!

Also, I only consider the Maori to hold the New Zealand national records. #nativepeoples

If you didn't know the finishing times and I told you that Chepkoech won and was 16 seconds ahead of Freirich, your first thought would be...(?)

Mine would be... good race, seems normal.
