Yes we all 'wonder' about these so called "breakthroughs"I just looked Norris up. Her pb prior to last year was 4.10, in 2021 she ran 3.59 . Didn't realise it was such a big jump... but her 5000m went from 15.29 to 14.51. These times are a Shelby level of improvement ?

CG final was electric. You could really see her hunger. For sure at Brussels - Muir tired, Welteji tired, but Ciara's hunger was relentless and she got there.
