Dude,

Swallow that salty potato lodged in your hateful throat.

Force it down.

In three months or so, you will be feeling better.

KENYA RULES!

NOOOO! NO! NO'.... Brigid Kosgei broke Mary Keitany's record......'Suspected' dopist Paula Radcliffe's record had a very big asterisk since she used men. What an insult.... That ' woman only' record garbage should end and be buried with 'suspected' dopist Radcliffe. LET'S GO KENYA .......

Incorrect. Women-only record isn't garbage. It is an advantage to have men pacing, possibly the entire run. Keitany still holds that record. Kosgei now has the mixed-gender record.

oH,

Brigid will blow that women only record into smitheens. Just wait for the next two years.

That is like a meal of hot samosas, chapatis and tea.

Just wait!

In Daniels VDOT 2:14:04 is equal to 13:57 at 5k and 29:01 at 10 k and 1:03:55 at half. This must be a fake result. I hope WADA nail her soon.

How long will it take before Paula throws doping accusations her way?

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

Problem is, if they ban the shoes, it will only affect the elites. For the age group runners it won't make a difference--local event organizers aren't going to go through and check people's shoes.

The most significant change in last years I think is the change from 2:47:59 in 2015 and suddenly 2:24:45 in Lisboa 2 Oct 2016 after only a 1:14:08 half in Seoul 22 May same year. Well, no one is guilty until proved , but now the anti doping must have her as a high priority to reveal.

knowing the splits of the 2:47 would be helpful. (1:12/1:35 ?)

But no matter. It's the shoes.

From the Porto Marathon in 2015. 1:19 for the first half. Contrast 1:07 today.

The whole thing is just bizarre. When EK broke the record in Berlin, it was a whole celebration almost between EK, fans, race directors, etc. People knew it was coming, and it was just a matter of when.

Today, Brigid shows up and smokes a 16 year old record, almost out of the blue--a record everyone thought would just stand forever. She didn't look at all thrilled, the race directors were pretty apprehensive.. it's almost like she made it too obvious and everyone knew it, so people were kinda lackluster in their celebrations, knowing it is going to get exposed as a cheat soon enough.

When Bekele ran that 2:01, everyone was excited. Today, a lot of people are like "Oh sh*t.. she pushed that one a little too far"

She should go run Berlin. Would probably be faster.

She blew it and she knows she blew it. Just crazy obvious.

The thought experiment is now... if she was clean today, that means that doped she can go under 2:10???

This sport is going straight to hell.

I must disagree with you there. She looked completely beat and had difficulty walking, I suspect she is feeling pretty crappy right now.

Wow, this was the first that I'd seen of this.

Amazing! Way to run, Brigid Kosgei, new world record, woo hoo!!!

Managed by the Rosa's. Was a 2:47 runner in 2015. Runs a minute faster than a woman everybody here thinks doped and who nobody else had come close to. Of course she's clean.

“Managed by the Rosa’s.” That’s all I needed to hear.

How someone like Rosa continues to get away with doping athletes again and again I’ll never know. Meanwhile AlSal is banned for giving too many vitamins to an assistant coach.

This “sport” has officially become more of a JOKE than Cycling.

No thanks to morons like you.

So is this the strongest female WR now or what? How does it compare to Flo Jo or Koch?

There's pro men that only run 2:14. Don't think you'll get any pro contract if you're running in the 47s for 400m.

Stupid analogy, based on nothing but being jealous of her WR.

Yes, 47s is getting you nothing as 400m specialist.

But you are comparing a distance where power, muscle strength, testosterone etc provide a massive genetic advantage to men. In marathons, our physiological advantages are diminished. Marathons are about two things - efficiency and lactate threshold. Women are naturally very light, which is a huge advantage in a marathon. Never wondered why Mottram and Solinsky never made the transition to marathon? They are 160+ lbs. Kosgei is under 100.

VO2MAX, the other physiological metric where men have a big advantage, is the main predictor for races between 1500 and 5000. But for 10k+, and especially the marathon, lactate threshold is WAY more important. You don't run close to your VO2MAX. Kosgei can probably run at around 85% of her VO2MAX in a marathon which is incredible.

So marathon SHOULD be the event where the difference between best man and best woman is the smallest, IF we value science and physiology.

100% agree. She absolutely smoked an unbeatable record. At least smirk Radcliffe lost her juiced record. This together with the Kipchoge debacle yesterday has made me uneasy, doping and spring shoes are ruining the sport.

On the IAAF tables it is slightly behind FloJos 200 and Koch's 400 (FloJos 100 of 10.49 was wind-aided). It is very close and it considering that doping women with androgens favors the sprint events and thus skewing the curve, it is inherently either better or at least even. It is hands-down better than all of the records 800-up.

You guys realize the shoes are finally catching up the sport to other hobbies, right?

If I want to hit a golf ball 300 yards, I can purchase a super sweet-spot driver and a super flight ball.

If I want to strike a tennis ball better, I can purchase a top of the line raquet with the best tension to date.

If I want to ride a bicycle faster, I can pay $10-15,000 more for an uber-lightweight Specialized/etc. that my peers can't afford.

It goes on and on... my daughter plays soccer, she wears a $280 boot that makes her feel like she can fly, cut and score.

The 4% is the same tool for hobby-joggers and pros alike.
