2019 PERFORMANCE OF THE YEAR THREAD

Switch Hassan’s two performances and add Naser’s 48 low 400m. Also, why not Kamworor’s half?

Are you new to the sport? Hassan's double was way more impressive than any indoor WR and also her own mile WR, Kamworor split 41:05 while running 58:01 and the Mixed Relay WR surely isn't top 10 considering it simply is a new event. Also Naser and SMU missing has to be the joke of the year.

simone biles should be in the non-running thing, along with phoenix's performance in the joker and pitt's in once upon a time in hollywood

Bekele's huge masters WR and almost general WR off a few months of "real" training after being injured for so long and having to rehabilitate. That is the best performance in my book. All these other performances were done off much more work than Bekele had to do. If Bekele can replicate what he has being doing since May this year he will destroy the WR next year and get gold in Tokyo. There is no question about it. He will be chuckling as he approaches the finish line.

IMO Kosgei's mark is more impressive.

1) Kosgei WR

2) Joe Kovacs gold (the performance + clutch factor)

3) Kipchoge sub 2

Bekele would have a 50/50 chance that he DNF at the Olympics. 0 percent chance he beats Kipchoge. Maybe 10 percent chance to get silver, 25% chance for bronze. If Kipchoge doesn’t join the Olympics maybe a 5% chance for gold.

Kipchoge 1:59:40.2 marathon distance is the most impressive.

Kipchoge thon

Kosgei thon

Sifan 10k/1500 double

Brazier 800

Honorable mention:

Kipchoge pacing teams with team captains. I like how they called them teams with team captains.

It would have been cool if Mahkloufi was also a pacer. Maybe even group the pacers by event; 1500 pace team, 5k pace team, 10k pace team, ‘thon pace team, and have Sifan in there for a bit too.

Also a legends pace team of retired pros; Geb, El G, Webb, Tergat, Komen.
