She was supper strong, no sign of excessive discomfort, concetrated, and the way she was right on the back of the pacer who was suffering but making a great job, it is amazing, they were catching men like crazy. it seems she can go faster!!!
I watched the race from start to finish and could not believe my eyes. Assefa’s male pacer even looked more tired than her. Just amazing race and we look forward next Olympic
There were several moments in the 2nd half when I wondered if her pacer was going to be able to hang on! He must have been so happy to finally wave her on past him in the final few hundred metres.
Before the race, her team was saying she was aiming for 2:12... which sounded insane, but holy cow! Now that she knows she can beat that, sky's the limit for her.
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.
@@yellowfolderHow is it clear that she is doping? Every performance at this level should be raising eyebrows, but are there any connections between her or the Ethiopian teams to doping? I personally think her performance is very suspicious so please elaborate.
The runner just 6sec ahead of Assefa is the Australian Liam Adams, who ran 2:08:39 at the Gold Coast Marathon 12 weeks ago. I have heard some mid-pack runners say the conditions were not as ideal as the experts suggested, which may explain Kipchoge's positive split but it certainly doesn't explain Assefa's insane world record.

Okay, to be fair, 1 mile in 5:02 is not impressive, even for a varsity high school athlete (the California high school girl 1600m winning time this year was 4:33). But to average 5:02 for 26.2 miles is CRAZY.
@@randomoneforstuff3696 Um sub 5 (or 5:02) is a very impressive mile time. It's not for competition, but only a very small amount of the worlds population can run that fast which is what I think they were talking about. I don't care if you are in good shape and have good Cardio, you need to actually train to run to break that barrier. I honestly think most healthy males with decent cardio would struggle to run even sub 6 without some level of training for it.
That what u call unbelieveable marathon running from her.the strength of her was untouchable in that marathon. Looking to see big things for her next year.
This performance is out of this world. Imagine what time she could have done in ideal conditions. Even crazier is that she used to be a 400/800m runner and only in her 3rd marathon she completely shatters the world record!
When she kept speeding up I honestly thought she was going to blow out, what a phenomenal performance, mark my words, within 2 years we will see a female runner go sub 2:10
One of the greatest sports performances I've seen in my life. And she didn't put her hands up those last few meters to celebrate, she stayed focused all the way until she passed the finish line.. This is the female athlete of the year!
yeah I checked in the morning to see if Kipchoge set a new record and was bummed. Then I thought… wait! Maybe a woman broke a record! ohhh damn she sure did!
To put this performance into perspective this is much faster than the national record for the men’s marathon in many countries for instance the Jamaican men’s record is 2 hours 16mins 39 secs
I think the negative splits are also very telling she is just juiced up on PEDs and could have run it even faster but didnt want to be more suspicious @@j4e339
@Total Running Productions Thank you for all your great running videos. I love it! Have you seen what Sifan Hassan just did at the Chicago marathon? And how she debuted her first marathon in London this year with a time of 2.18.33. Now 6 months later (6weeks after she won two World titles) she wins the Chicago Marathon. Can't wait to see Hassan and Assefa on the a major together! Please make a video of Hassan's marathon story.
This is a fantastic achievement of Assefa. Nice to appreciate it by this video. However it deserves to stand by itself, no introduction with Kipchoge needed. He has his own place to be valued, but Assefa is clearly worth a stand al9ne appreciation.
Your closing comment that she "might" be the favorite for Paris next year is so odd. She just smashed the WR by over 2 minutes. I'd say she's obviously the favorite!
You know how track and field is. Favorites switch up all the time, sometimes people get hurt, sometimes they don’t perform well cuz of their mental. She’s the favorite right now obviously but will she stay that way until Paria
@@feetindagrass Potentially. There's been debate over if the new supershoes are more beneficial to training than they are on race day. Athletes have said that they recover better when they train in supershoes. so the next generation of athletes are probably training on a level that hadn't been possible until now.
The Adidas Adios Pro Evo 1 she was wearing, which will be released soon, Weight 4.9oz. Those are the lightest Carbon racers ever, and they have Adidas new Carbon Foot geometry thing underfoot. I'm not saying it was just the shoes because God that was a superhuman effort in near perfect conditions.
This is one of those records that leaves me speechless. Paula Radcliffs record stood for so long before Brigid Kosgei finally broke it. Then this girl destroys kosgei's record!!!!
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.
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
Indeed absolutely ridiculous. By far the performance of the decade this is even more impressive than Kipchoge’s sin 2 hr marathon. I never thought I would see a woman running sub 2:12 in the marathon. Insane performance.
Are there any other athletic events where the best women are comparably competing with the men? I'm pretty sure that it would not be outrageous for every man competing in the 100m would beat the women's WR. But they also say that women's WRs have been improving faster than men's over the last 100 years so it's not too surprising that some overlap is appearing.
Hardly an athletic event but Olympic skeet used to be mixed gender event until 1992, when a woman named Zhang Shan won the gold metal. After that the rules were changed so that women no longer compete alongside men, and it took until 2000 before women's skeet appeared in Olympics.
@@taru4635 That's crazy. Seems like something more people should know about. The wikipedia article just has a couple of uncited sentences on the matter. Thanks for sharing.
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.
Recuerdo que en marathon olímpico de 1968 en México city, el ganador Mamo wolde, también de Etiopía hizo un tiempo de 2:20 . O sea que ella derrotaría a su compatriota. Cómo cambian los tiempos! Saludos desde México
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.
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!
Interesting article in The Guardian. It said Tigist agreed to not race for 2 years and then come out of nowhere to break the record and give credit to the shoe.
I had the privilege of being there and whitnessing that. It gave me chills. (Seemingly) effortless, majestic beauty. Assefa ran on clouds like Kipchoge did. A day to remember.
Its how you said it...500 dollars!!! 😂😂😂😂 But that's an insane price indeed. Im usually a track guy, but her WR was incredible. She ran strong and looked fresh. I have a question: Was she the only athlete wearing those shoes? Not likely. If not, how did the other athletes do, with their PB wearing those shoes?
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.
Really good video!!! The only thing where i slightly disagree is that the craziest field of the year will be in Chicago next Sunday, it's not even close!!!
Crazy performance again by an Ethiopian great. The female Ethiopian athletes are crazy rn. From the 1500 to the marathon (having even some quit decent 800m runners) Hassan going for insane triples. Surprised you did not talk about tsegay running almost 13:5X as a women And now this by assefa unreal
Congratulations to her, it was a really impressive performance that i enjoyed watching. I want to give her the benefit of the doubt especially considering how good Ethiopian athletes are but it is a tad suspicious to break a record like that with a running history like hers 🤔
Shoutout to Gebru who paced her all the way till the Brandenburg gates. You could tell he was on the limits
He was awesome. Fully committed, and stepped aside in the last 500 m so that Assefa could receive the full spotlight.
She was supper strong, no sign of excessive discomfort, concetrated, and the way she was right on the back of the pacer who was suffering but making a great job, it is amazing, they were catching men like crazy. it seems she can go faster!!!
