Message: [QUOTE="iri10, post: 4673197, member: 1781"] There have been a lot of amazing track performances the last week or two. On the women's side, a week ago, Faith Kipyegon broke the 1500m record by about a second. Apparently that wasn't enough for her, because then a week later she broke the 5000m in Paris, the same meet where Ingebrigsten broke the (somewhat rarely run) 2 mile, and Girma broke the men's steeplechase world record. Anyway...the thing that astonishes me about Kipyegon's 5000m is that after nearly 14 minutes of running, she had the energy to put on that crazy burst of speed at the end to clinch the record: [MEDIA=youtube]jguxAPCXZpM[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
