Hana Hall (Ryan's and Sara's) daughter just ran 17:37

Just say you're racist and move along big guy lol dental records are generally very accurate at estimating the age of adolescents. I don't think you'd be so suspicious if these girls were white. Let them enjoy their lives and success in the US like normal high schoolers and leave them alone you petulant child

why would any kid ever want to get into this sport with all you fckknuckkles calling them dopers as soon as they achieve anything?

What a bunch of prurient spectators you are

I am not in the least bit religious and have no need . But i think very highly of the Halls in adopting these four young women. It is especially heartening to see that their decision kept the sisters together. And their daughter Hana need only enjoy the sport, and use it as a way to express herself as she grows and adapts to being a teenager in this country. I have nothing but respect for the Halls.

Well, hate to break it to you, but the Halls, like many others, go to Ethiopia to get a children believing that they can groom them as runners. The belief that Ethiopians are somehow predisposed to running prowess is the motivation, not their kindness and love for children in need. It's not random that they specifically adopted girls from Ethiopia. They were raised and made to run at a very young age. Running is not a sport that they chose, it's a sport that they were specifically chosen for.

And if you think I'm wrong, just ask them.

I believe she is 21 years old

I question her age eligibility. I saw a podcast with her dad and Lance Armstrong on Feb 7 2018 and he said she was 19 then corrected himself and said she was 18.

Then I found an article saying that their original both days were off based on “dental records”. So the parents established birth dates/ birth certificates.

She potentially could be a 20 yr old which makes her ineligible. If this was high school football you know they would be all over this!!

Can you imagine showing CIF your dental records to prove your eligibility? She could be 21. Or 16. Who knows.

Stop commenting on stuff that you know nothing about. Dental records are very reliable at predicting the age of children/teenagers. Here's some basic research that you could've looked up in 0.5 seconds before posting like an ignorant tw@t. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4714412/

Africans were on roughly equal footing with the rest of the world (save for Mexico '68 at altitude) consistently through the late '80s and exploding in the '90s, when PEDs became widespread. To be fair,

the most potent, EPO, was not tested for until 2000, so it was available to other countries as well. There is no question that the African dominance on the roads in the last decade is fueled by PEDs.

My suspicion is that East Africans have a slight edge in phenotype, but not as much as the last 30 years would suggest.

From the article you referenced, "It is to be counted that various dental age estimation methods recommended in the past did not provide a common formula for the population of the whole world.[18,19,20] These methods also differed in their accuracy when different populations were considered. Hence this paper focuses on improvement of the method developed by Cameriere et al. to suit the Malaysian children population."

Could you find a few studies that are specific to Ethiopians because as the study you pointed me towards very clearly stated, dental age estimated methods of one ethnic group can be significantly different from that of another.

Wow the inherent letsrun racism and stupidity runs deep in this thread.

Actually I heard Ryan say in a podcast that these girls were living in a completely sedentary environment with nowhere to go outside and play. The eldest Hana was 16 and had never set foot in a school her entire life before the Halls adopted them.

God sure does know how to write a training plan

Ryan hired and fired God as his coach. I mean really, where do you look for a coach after you've fired God. What Ryan quickly discovered is, just like coaches, Gods are a dime a dozen. There's always another one out there (their, they're) in the wings and those Gods put wings on the feet of the Ethiopians.

Why is noone questioning her supplement intake? PEDs ? If she was a Kenyan national you would be all over this.
