This is the news of the weekend, not that manufactured b.s. yesterday in Vienna. Tell Kipchoge to race sub-2 in a real Marathon: Berlin, Chicago, London, NY or Tokyo. Brigid Kosgei is GREAT!

Imagine complaining about the greatest marathoner of all time running a sub 2 marathon

Do you disagree poster that the sub-2 circus yesterday was a joke? I can still possess respect for Kipchoge and his other achievements and disrespect the circus. Wilt Chamberlain for a period in time played for Harlem Globetrotters. The athleticism displayed by Chamberlain while playing for Globetrotters was real even though contests versus Washington Generals were fake. Kipchoge was playing for the Nike Globetrotters yesterday. This is not a Kipchoge thread.

She destroyed the record by almost 2 mins, and nearly ran 2:13.....we are talking men's territory of marathon running.

Either the shoes are providing some serious mechanical advantages or she is doping, or a collection of both.

Chicago is fast, but not even close to being london or berlin fast.

it's not like chicago has never hosted a world record before

I could only imagine Paula in those Next% shoes, would have gone 2:13 EASY

I don’t care if Paula does. We alll know this is a 2:21 marathoner at best who gained 3 minutes due to Cheater shoes and 4 due to drugs. Voila! 2:14.

With modern doping and Cheater shoes, Paula runs 2:10:30.

just ask a random 2:06 Kenyan dude to identify as a woman.

Men’s times? Men are running 2:01 marathons now. 2:14 is not a professional men’s marathon time, it’s 10+ minutes off what the men are running. You’re about 50 years behind the times amigo.

Forty years ago when I was 13 or 14 years old, a charity basketball game versus a Big 10 women basketball team, 11 ministers and one non-basketball playing junior high school 5'6" or 5'7" kid, me. I ran circles around those women. Could a non-basketball player 13 or14 year old boy do that today? Most likely not. Women sports have improved. Women sports have improved not based on drugs as you are implying.

That's a good point and a GREAT story.

I don't think your comparison works today. Random 14 year old boys just are not big enough to hang with the women in basketball, although it turns out some 15 year olds can in soccer.

You did a bit of a scope shift by stating 15 year old boys. What I stated previously regarding a 1978 or 1979 charity basketball game, was a loss suffered by (35 to 45) year old ministers and me. If I would have hand picked eleven other 13 or 14 year old male athletes who were not basketball players, we would have blown out the women roughly 40 years ago. The gist of my post: women are better athletes in general than women athletes 40 years ago.

Seriously this was an amazing race from start to finish. Sucks that NBC messed up the coverage.

I'd like to believe...I just can't

lmao

Rosa

EPO

pogo shoes

This sport has been pure Clown World this past month. This is even more absurd than Kiphoge's run.

To see all these things I really miss Ma Junren athletes. There s no justice in this world

Or maybe Paula will apply pressure and get the shoes banned. That's my hope

Best day ever!

Athletics' biggest hypocrite loses her record.

No Olympic medal and now no world record!

I don't care if it's the shoes, or Rosa sauce or just a super-talented, hardworking young lady who's profited from the excellent conditions and realised her true potential. I'm just glad the smug smile has been wiped off from Paula 'Off scores' Radcliffe's face. I hope I never have to hear her name during a marathon again. 16 years was too long.

Kenny admitting that Kenya's best are winning because of 'Rosa's sauce'.

Have fun with your celebration.

The difference between 2:01:39 and 2:14:04 is 10.2%. I think that is in line with most major WR between men and women. The 2:15:25 was starting to look weak comparatively, at 11.3% difference.

But we all know that all top results are "aided."

A woman marathon runner is now fast enough to have won the silver medal at the '64 Tokyo Olympics behind the great Abebe Bikila. This sport becomes increasingly ridiculous.

That's nothing compared to the evolution in swimming. The record times on the female side has evolved so much that most male record holders in the 70s wouldn't even make a female championship final today.

What does Kosgei have that makes her near equal to one of the all-time great male marathon runners in Abebe Bikila? (And faster than all the other men in the '64 Tokyo field.) It isn't technique or equipment or even training, as those runners were putting in serious miles. Nope - it's the usual bs that is everywhere now in pro sport.

This is just too much!!!

I mean out from her 1:04:28 in September at half it's no problems to run 2:14:04, but the fastest PB at 5k is 15 min . And she did 2:47 back in 2015 and suddenly started to run really fast , 29:54 in Madrid 10 k in December 2018 .

And here comes the name who is the manager: Dr Rosa!!! Lot`s of doping cases and coaches in his staff that has been highly suspects.

How do they avoid doping detection?? Well, I guess they use what's called microdosing and check up their runners before they go to the races . And the doping controls in Kenya is just a joke . They call the runners to come in next day for control or just call a day or two before they come and do the control . As long as their control system is like this we will keep on see cases like this destroy our sport. So very sad!
