Well let’s see if they get ratified by AC. Go check trackie. Rumour has it AC is considering asterisk for any vaporfly records.
I personally think these are amazing runs, and these women are amazing people and athletes, but I don’t consider these to be the true Canadian records if they were set in vaporflys or the like. Just do the math.
Again, every record that was broken was set wearing Vaporflys. The current ratified records were set Using these shoes and the ones today will be as well.

Brutal right? Take Wodak - supposedly first Cdn woman under 1:10. Assume a conservative 2% advantage from the shoes. Means she really only ran 1:11 as compared to regular shoes.
This is why people that understand the sport are working on nullifying these “assisted” records.
Look at what happened in swimming with the cheater suits - they got banned and no one takes any of the associated records seriously.
