      Depends on how long her doping regime goes undetected. Her "meteoric rise" isn't plausible in any way, shape or form. While it wasn't even hinted at in this video, it's clear what's going on.

      Women are still “gaining” when it comes to sports, because for such a long time, they were not encouraged. Participation is still increasing and female-specific training and equipment is still being developed. So we are seeing rapid improvement in WRs for various women’s sports, whereas the men’s WRs tend to see rarer and only incremental improvement. I feel as this trend continues, we will get a more accurate judge of the actual gender gap - and for many sports, it will be narrower than we previously thought.
      For specific sports, I can only speak to those I have watched. Ultramarathon GOAT Courtney Dauwalter has been smashing races all summer and regularly finishes top ten amongst men. In figure skating, there has been an explosion of young women able to consistently land triple axels and quad jumps, previously only landed by men, and the score gap is nearly nonexistent between the best couple women and the top ten men. These are the two best examples that I know of.

    When Abebe Bikila ran a world record at the 1964 Tokyo Olympucs to defend his title, he ran a time slower than Assefa. That is a testament to just how fast this women's world record is.

      @acasualviewer5861 8 месяцев назад

      That's also really amazing for Bikila, I'm pretty sure that the training methods of that time don't compare to those of today.
      But for her to beat the legend, it's a big milestone!

    She "might be the gold medal favorite for Paris"?! I still don't think any of us have fully wrapped our heads around what a ridiculous performance this is. I believe that this is even more impressive than Kipchoge's 1:59! Infact, even if Kipchoge had run 1:59 in Berlin, this would still be more impressive. No one can convince me otherwise.

    • @Bigern2998
      @Bigern2998 8 месяцев назад

      Agreed. Men are close to 10% faster over all distance WRs. So this would equate to a mens time 13 min faster or 1:58:53. Obviously not exactly but it is nuts either way

      I think Kipruto also had them on actually, so not a guarantee for success... on the other hand, Amanal Petros ran a massive German national record in them. I think this performance was 99.9% Assefa and perhaps 0.1% the shoes. Strongly believing in them certainly didn't hurt her chances though.

      Those super super shoes are probably worth a couple of minutes. They weigh in at 138 gms or 5 oz in old money. It will be interesting what other runners do wearing them and also what Nike, et al, do about weight reduction in their shoes. Most of the super shoes are nearly double the weight.

      Under 2 min for 800 is not very average in my book... if you then discover you can keep the speed for very long you suddenly are a marathoner... Her style of running is very nice, a very efficent flow.

      @@sambarrows3943 The shoes are legit, the heel stack is almost spot on the max allowable, super responsive foam, and a carbon plate that has been minimized but still retaining the response. What is revolutionary, apart from the price and the fact that they are essentially disposable shoes, - one run and done - is the weight - under 140 gms. None of the existing plated shoes are anywhere close to this weight.
